Not sure what I'm doing wrong

[Red Eyed]

At first glace without any knowledge of the grow, I seen a plant that is being drowned and locking out all nutrients because of the amounts of water the roots are dealing with.


Up pot, and since youll be using new soil, the soil will have more then enough nutrients for the plant. So no need to feed anything beside water for a good week, maybe even 2. Dont do any foliar sprays at all, water every 3rd day....nothing less. The roots need a dry period too.

And I do not ph my water until I start adding nutrients

I'm pretty sure I could throw those clones in a fresh pot of pro-mix and water with fish emulsion and never look back

I'm certain I could throw them in FFOF and they would take off.... This isn't FFOF fail.

You should check it and make sure it is close to neutral even if not fertilizing. The plants still need to get nutrients from the soil.

Most new soils have buffers right out of the bag. It’s a waste of resources IMO.

Alright well I can officially say that they were both fairly root bound so glad I didn't wait a week. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for the advice.

I bought these two clones about a month ago and transplanted them basically right away (since they came with developed roots) and they started to go purple on the stems and droop a leaf or two. At the time it I thought it was just mild transplant shock but now that's it's been this long and its getting worse guessing not. I thought I might have been overwatering at the start but I don't think that's the case. The temperature is a little cold the past 3 days dropping to like 63 when the lights were off. Other than that it says around 70-75. RH is like 45-50% Its in ffof soil so I'm currently not feeding it anything.
Any help would be appreciated

You're starving them to death

Hey my friend. Your roots aren't happy. Please pull the plant out and show us a pic of the roots. Also, DO NOT go big pot right now. This will cause you to give it more water than it really needs. Please let the plant dry out a bit. No more water.

I think it's a root/water nutrient uptake issue. Pic of roots plz.

Looks like it's already been potted up. Those roots need to start stretching their legs.

You are right about needing to dry out. It does look like it's way too wet. But I've potted up damp root balls directly into dry soil many times. When the root mass is pretty damp. I won't give it water immediately after transplant. I let some of that excess moisture gently blend into the dry stuff. Now the root zone is much drier, oxygen can get down in there and plant recovery can begin. In about 72 hours, she'll be ready for a watering.

OP - you'll be glad you went up in pot size.

I think transplant up and wait 5 days, you should see it settle. If not, hit her with some nutes.

Just looks like too much water to me.

Yeah I'm thinking overwatered + rootbound. Maybe bad PH too. Poor lil lady.

 

[MrR.]

I wouldnt worry about PH in soil, never have in 15 years never had one issue.

 

[SmoothCrim]

For anyone wondering looked 10x better a week after transplant with pretty fast growth. Appreciate the help.

Ph varies depending on where you live. Some places are acidic, some extremely alkaline. My water comes close to 9.5-10.5 out of the tap... The plants do much better when I lower the ph a bit.
