HELP 24hr drastic change after trellis net

[RoastClash]

Using 600W MH approx 22-24” from plant top. 2Gallon air pots. Temp at about 21 humidity at about 47. Put in a new trellis net with smaller squares and within a day my plants have wilted pretty badly. I just watered and fed them today (as per my cycle) any idea why? Is it stress from the net?

You can take the net out of the equation, just coincident with whatever is going on.

Any idea what would cause them to wilt like this? The different between the first and second picture is pretty drastic, bud sites look so vibrant and healthy in the first pic

Looks like a lack of O2 in the root zone. Or roots are unable to take up O2. Some people will call this over watering, but it is usually a soil mix issue not having enough aeration elements or too much clay.

i agree. it looks like overwatering. if that is not possible then soil drainage

Shit I don’t think it’s overwatering my cycle seems to be good. Its possibly may be the soil just today I looked underneath and it was very white and fuzzy which means water hasn’t been making its way through to the bottom very well. Would you suggest a transplants and new soil?

I believe you’re right about it being the soil. What would be the best course of action to fix this?

Believing the net could be the cause .

Yeah all us scrog growers find our plants die just from hanging some elasticated string above them

There overwatered, let the soil dry before banging more in as your suffocating the roots

I don’t know if it’s overwatering man, I let the soil dry out pretty well before watering again. I watered last back on the 8th, the first pic is from yesterday the 10th and the other pic is from today the 11th. They looked pretty wilted even before I watered today, I initially thought I let them dry out TOO much as the leaves felt like a crisp paper

Just checked your other posts and my advice, chill out man plants do wierd things and most the time recover. I've just had a bad case of spidermites the little buggers as I was out of town a few days and couldn't keep an eye in them.
They looked awful, but after being hosed down, sprayed with soap, washed off and left to recover for a few days there all doing great again.
My advice is don't panic everytime you think somethings wrong. Give them 24 hours and see how they are but if you did stress them making the change they will right themselves.
It's very hard to over water in them air pots but just make sure the water is draining through the soil and not out the sides of the pots(reason I stopped using them). A could chopsticks shoved in the soil and pulled out when watering will help to make sure the water drains down into the soil and not just floods out the sides.
One more thing, when watering are you leaving them stood in the run off? This leads to horrible salt buid up and also a good place for bugs to thrive. Again something else I discovered with air pots

Thanks man, I figure you’re right.

I’ve also had that issue with airpots. I’ll use the chopstick thing when I water next cause I am noticing the water pour more out the side holes than the bottom. No I clean the run off, I wait about half an hour and empty clean and dry them. I check em again but they’re usually always good by then

Let us know how you get on in 24 hours or so and if you're still worried I'm sure a few of us will be willing to try and help some more. One of the things I love about this site as most people are keen to help and most of us realise we don't know it all and are happy to learn from one another

I absolutely will man, I’ll give it a good day or two and post my results. I really appreciate the help, you’ve lessened my anxiety quite and bit

I'm curious...What time of day did you take that second pic? What time of day do your lights turn off?

I'd stay on your plan and watch them for a bit. If they are due for transplant, then proceed.

Updates plants are healthy and had a little growth spurt, still having problems with drainage but I used your chopstick method and it’s seemed to work well. Thanks everyone!
