I transplanted these ice cream cakes 11 days ago and they started clawing and tacoing. Only watered once since transplant with just 3ml per gallon cal/mag. ph was at 7.6. Below are my setup.
660w Led lights 36 inch above dimmed to 10%
Heat 70-81 degree
Humidity 50-65%
Co2 around 400 ppm
Sunshine 4 mix soil
3 gallon pot
What do you guys think is causing this?

I just got some ph down so i can control the ph now. Should i wait till the soils dry to flush it? Its been 12 days and its still wet.

Holy shit...is this some peat based shit? I hear people saying something about peat being wet or something or really holding on to moisture. I could be wrong and I'm stoned out of my gourd...I could be wrong but that don't look right. Can you out perlite in there? You probably wanna research that soil immediately. Back to warzone

I think cause the roots not strong yet so its not absorbing water fast enough thats why its still wet. They are newly transplanted clones..

with leds your temp and humidity should be higher, 85 degrees will bring them right back, even 90 degrees. Might want to make yeast and sugar co2 dispenser. They need more under leds. Others know way more than me but l believe the raise in temps will help.

Use an electric oil filled radiator appropriately adjusted to keep temps at 78-82 consistently. LED's don't give off the typical heat that plants need to maintain optimal growth. Warm it up. Maintain it. Sunshine #4 is one of my most hated mixes. I know many people use it because it's cheap, but I had nothing but PH problems with that stuff. I truly do not understand why it's so popular other than it's dirt effing cheap. Be it as it is you're balls deep at this point so let's sort you out. They indicate the #4 is charged with 4 weeks worth of nutrients. Why are you adding cal mag? Typically cal mag has nitrates in it that will increase available N as well as Ca and Mg which may be throwing off your balance. I do see some typical N claw going on with deep green leaves evident of N toxicity.

The leaf curl looks like you may have a fan on the plants causing wind burn. If that is the case you should never have direct moving air on the foliage. Indirect air movement is what they like. Direct air causes the plant to sweat water at a rate faster than the leaves can replenish. The result is dehydrated leaves at the margins that curl up and taco. Overall your girls look good. Just something appears slightly off with your water in inputs and possibly direct air movement on your plants causing wind burn. Easily corrected issues.

I will point the fans up more. They arent pointing at them directly but are giving them a slight breeze. I also have a co2 tank with controller so i can bump it up also. I can turn on my heater and raise heat to -85+. Hopefully it’ll help. I will update in a few days. Thanks guys

So i just tested my water its at 6.15ph and my runoff was at 5.52ph. Does that sound ok to u guys?

That doesn't seem to be anything of concern. Your plants are generally happy and healthy. Just keep that fan off of them. No direct air of any kind. Especially on juniors / teenager sized plants. Also, keep an eye on that N claw going on. Could just be a fluke because I don't see it evident on any other plants, but keep a close eye on any anomalies you observe.

So in my room. I have 50 ice cream cake and 50 runtz. The runtz are doing fine. No leaf tacoing and clawing but on my ice cream cake side most of them are doing it. What can it be? I still havent watered since transplant yet.

You're growing a hundred plants at a time and have never considered that different strains will react differently to the same environment and nutes?

I harvest in about 2 weeks! You can check IG: @chromaticallygrown for some pictures. She’s frosty. Really excited to see how the harvest goes.
