Plant leaves HELP.

[NewGrowAround]

So I started my grow on the 16 of Oct. everything looked perfect up until maybe 4-5 days ago. And everything went hectic. Leaves started to get brown spots over them and then wilt and get crispy. I transplanted them maybe a week and a half ago. In 3 gal pots. I used ffof(fox farm ocean forest) since germ. Will show pics if needed.

Looks like a pretty big pot for such a small plant, whats your watering method?

I used a 3gal fabric pots I started them in nursery pots then transported. These are all photos beside on is a auto. I water every 2-3 days depending if the medium is dry or moist. Plus I check the bottom of the fabric pot to see if it wet or dry.

Were they rootbound before you transplanted?

 

[NewGrowAround]

They had a nice root bound at the bottom. They probably could’ve went a another week or so.

I would give them a few more days and see how they respond, dont panic and start throwing shit at them

Fox farm ocean forest is a hot soil mix for a young plant, burnt
needs a flush

I didnt and won’t. Crazy thing is I have one plant that hasn’t had any signs of what’s happening to my other plants.

So by flushing are you saying using straight water for a duration of time?

Every plant is different, some young plants can handle it others can't, yes give it 5ltrs of straight water and this should reduce the soil EC level enough.

That is noted. One more thing how to fix overwatering. My auto flower. I watered earlier. Just looked at it and now it’s leaves are droopy. This is my first grow. I can’t lie it’s amazing but I need help. YouTube only helps but so much

Dont water it so much lol

That makes sense lol. Is molasses ok in medium to feed?

 

[Markshomegrown]

No problem, its always down to the soil mix, you want 15% sand and 15% perlite mixed in to the compost, if the soil don't drain quick the roots can't handle it and the leaves drop.
If its not the soil, you water too soon, take a plant stick and push it in the soil, if it slides in easy and the soil feels dry its time to water.
always look at the lower fan leaves, 2 days after watering, they will droop a little, after a while, you know my looking at these leaves.

 

[beercan]

No input from me, never tried it sorry

you should never feed small plants in large pots, this will only cause problems, roots need to fill the pot

I didn’t mix sand smh but I did mix perlite #2 cause #3 looked too big. And didn’t think about the stick to see if it’s dry that make so much sense.
