Wilting Leaves. PLEASE Help!

[BWMD]

I'm using a 20-20-20 fertilizer. My plant is two weeks old. It was recently, about 5 days ago, transplanted into a larger pot. It seemed to be doing fine until it was watered the second time with fertilizer. I might add it was watered twice in a row with two liters of water within two days; over watered?

Next day the bottom leaves began to droop... and now a few days later today it looks like the picture provided. There is still growth between the main stem and the visible leaves

I've flushed the soil today. But at this point want to make sure I've taken the right steps or not... Maybe it's too late.

This is using a 175 watt metal halide light.
Right now I've put it under a fluorescent aquarium light to let it relax... maybe?

Thanks again! Sorry if this is a bit too much info... or not even enough maybe?

Hmmm. Does look pretty sad.
I think it maybe a combination of all the things you mentioned.
Over watered - Yes. You only need to water when the top inch of soil is dry or the pot feels light to lift. Water once after transplant would have been fine. Plus you've flushed it so it's suffering moisture stress.
Over Fertilised - Yes. That little bugger doesn't really need any ferts just yet. If any a very, very, reduced dosage.
Transplant Shock - Yes. If the transplanting was a bit botched it will shock the plant and cause it to droop for a day or two. How did the transplant go, smooth, with very little disturbance of the root ball?
This little bugger is under extreme stress from moisture, ferts and transplant. Wether it survives, only time will tell. There's not much you can do now except watch and wait.
I would probably suggest keeping it under the MH to help dry the soil out a bit. Just keep the light a little higher than normal.
All the best with it coming good.

I agree with Mammath. You transplanted, nuted and then flooded a seedling three times in a week.

Watch and wait is good advice.

I hope it works out well.

Well thanks guys! I'll take the advice in.
Lucky as a first time grower who knows he's got a lot to learn, I have another plant yet to be transplanted that's doing very well. I'm going to wait longer before transplanting.

The other one was an admirable attempt for someone with no growing knowledge haha...
Sort of.

I was going to suggest, start another seed just incase, so your one step ahead of your expected failures.
Good on ya. That's what it's all about.
You always need to have a back up, that is an example of what you learned the first time. You'll get there.

Nitrogen toxicity!!!! Flush immediately!!
20.20.20 is way too strong for any cannabis plant of any size. U never need that much nitrogen. U can use something like 5.5.10 for the entire grow, or 5.2.10 for veg and 2.5.10 for bloom. Like u said, its all about learning. Way to be positive, I have been growing for two years and just recently got to the point of completely understanding nutrients.

 

[jimmycocopuffs]

what will happen if you reped some ruts on transplant??

That plant looks severely overwatered to me, one more flush and it could be done for. If he hasn't already pulled it.

This is what happened to me, I watered far too much while only the top of my soil was getting dry. The result is what you have there. The leaves should now smell like shit and will be very sad like in the picture.. however, If you still have that plant I would save it. My two plants were utterly pathetic after I overwatered them but they came back and are now budding like any other healthy plant.


What I did after I realised I overwatered them so badly was to take them out of their containers and put them in larger pots with DRY soil, so the water leeched out of the roots gradually and made the soil a good mix of moisture.


Good luck, don't pull the plant if you haven't already.
