Newbie Question

[BigMacXL]

Hi, thanks in advance for any help.

I bought 4 clones from a guy, they were in blue solo cups, plants were about 2ft tall.

I put them in some larger buckets and placed them in my outdoor greenhouse. Gave them a good watering, which I read now can be a bad idea.

Just curious what could be causing them to appear as if they are dying.

Some things to consider (I realize now some of these are probably big mistakes)

He probably had them indoors, could I have shocked them to much by placing outside? Live in eastern Canada, at time of placing in greenhouse temps were good but them have a few days of 5 for a high.

I have not watered in a week as I thought it could have been from over watering. Soil is still moist.

Help please.

they look nitrogen and potassium deficient

I would top them leaving about 2/3rds of the plant, raise the light and slow the grow and let them heal. After I gave them a decent veg nute.

If they were inside and then you put them outside and didnt harden them off to natural sunlight them yes you put a shocker on them

Looks like they could use some fertilizer. Not over watered looking to me, Epsom salts @ 1tbsp/gal water will give them a magnesium hit which they need. Any powder blue fertilizer like Jacks or Miracle Grow at HALF the rate (indoor and outdoor rates are different). Theyll bounce back.

Could just be from the transplant ( shocked ). It does however look a little over watered though. If the clones were kept inside from the guy you got them from under a good light, moving them outside will take some time to adjust to the new environment.
