Clawing leaf tips and droopy new growth.

Okay, so mine seem to be extremely droopy a couple of hours before lights off.
Almost horizontal. Would this also be due to lack of oxygen to the roots?
They are still fairly moist even after 6 days of watering.
Perhaps I need some perlite and transplant them into bigger pots.

Tonto say: Small plant, big pot no good for plant.

And FYI it's root BOUND not root locked.

Another FYI. Roots are fragile yes but they are not as fragile as ET when he got all jacked up and they put him in the bubble.

Whenever your transplanting your plants, scratch the dirt or whatever around the roots with your hand, loosen them up, and break them loose. Broken roots stimulates root growth through hormone production.

I see people treat roots like they are radioactive. Don't touch the roots!!! Nurseries that sell bare root plants actually have a machine that drags a blade about 10" under the soil and cuts all the roots below it. This is done after the first year of growth. The difference between d1 and d2 plant establishment is very noticeable.

Cheers

Mine aren't suffering from transplant stress as I have been gardening in general for a long time and have practice with that

I believe my issue is due to over watering by proxy of having awful drainage, it was taking a week and half for the coco coir to dry.
I am using the same 2 liter pots as before, this size is fine until end of vegging, but I have mixed in some perlite and added a layer of stones to the bottom which is helping with drainage straight away. I have just fed them again (2ml/1L 8-2-2 Plant Magic Oldtimers) as I believe my previous flush stopped the plants getting any food for the last week.

Hopefully with better drainage, better temperature and some more feed they will pick up

Just given them a foliage feed made up of a week nute mix.

did ya check for broad mites? Most folks (my self included) misdiagnose broad mites for a note deficiency when they first get them. Little fuckers inject poison into the leaves thus creating the curling, most effective on new growth.

Here is a good pic I stole of Broadmites, lil fuckers can't be seen by the naked eye.

after my transplants 48 hrs later they are still both a bit droopy gazja420 u got any advice about transplanting you can give ?

How do you go about diagnosing this issue? I have a microscope if that helps.
Although mine are more drooping and not folding inwards now I have added some more heat.

Yeah, mine are fairly droopy still but I think that is due to a lack of Nitrogen now after I miss diagnosed and flushed them last week.
I also believe my grow room was also a bit cold, so added a bit more heat so hopefully that helps them.
I will keep you updated and see if they recover.

if it was broad mites using a scope you would see the little fuckers…

I don't seem to have them, thank fuck for that! aha.

Hopefully the improved drainage, temperature and feed will help them perk up over the next few days!

So 3 days after transplants and my babies are looking happy again i am quite amazed with DNA genetics reserve privada seeds they are growing soo fast! they are also some of the most robust plant growth i have ever seen.

If plant leaves looks like a "claw" and plant can also get dark green at any rate you have nitrogen - remedy: flush for one week (re-think you cal-mag,ect use). Remember once noticed you are all ready 2 weeks late in fixing the issue

Just on a note, their doing perfectly fine now and 2 weeks into flowering.
My issue was the PH being too high, and the nights being too cold.
After lowering slightly and adding a heater in the night time the plants were healthy in a matter of days.
Thanks for all the help!

funny one of mine is getting super droopy and it is not a watering issue so i am troubleshooting thinking it may be a cal mag def because i am using LED or it is a copper def(very unlikely) i just find it strange that i am having deficiency issues using Subs super soil.
