SETUP:

Sun Hut
400W MH
Fox Farms Ocean Forest
7 gallon container
Also, it was getting too tall, so I tied down some of the taller stems to the outer edge of the bucket with twist ties.

It was recently transplanted (almost two weeks ago now) and began to struggle then, I'm guessing bc the soil was hot.

It was suggested that I had too much nitrogen, (hooked leaves) so I flushed the soil, and later added CalMag and Silica Blast as recommended.

It is continuing to grow, but the old leaves (underneath leaves) are just shriveling up. Some are soft and wilted, others are crispy, starting at the edges and working its way in.

I now have a bag of Sunshine Advanced Mix 4 with no nutes in it. Should I mix up a fresh mix of soil with the Sunshine Advanced, Fox Farms and hydroton and transplant again?

I have tried everything I can think of and it is still doing poorly.

Please help! This used to be my healthiest one!

Why would you mix hydroton into soil? it absorbs a lot of calcium and will just sort of hold it...and it can cause your soil pH to be very different in spots. And it looks to me to be overfeeding..the older leaves will still look like hell but any new growth should be alright, as long as you keep not feeding...just plain water until it starts to grow new leaves that look good...What I would do it trim off nay leaves that looks terrible, that way you know if you are making progress or not...and you'll know if you are messing things up...lol. But if I was you I would just leave it alone in whatever you have it in and give no nutes as i said until it looks better...

it looked like this BEFORE when it was only getting water. People told me to give it calmag and silica so I did, and it got worse.

But it was looking this way before it got anything, just now its a little crispier.

Before the calmag I was never giving nutes, only ph water and superthrive, bc nutes burn it every time, no matter how mild the formulation

I had something similar. I flushed and gave water with Tbsp sugar to gallon after. Its clearing. Mine was Happy Frog soil. I don't use that now. I got lazy and decided to try aready made soil as it was a late addition to the grow.
