I think I have another theory what was happening to my plants. Me being a newbie, I simply had no idea when it was time to transplant my plants. I decided to transplant all my plants into 3 gallon grow bags today so me and my buddy went down to Home Depot and picked up a a bag of Miracle Gro organic soil and some perlite as I wanted to transplant one of the plants already in soil, into soil. I also wanted to try putting one of my other plants in soil just to see if there is a difference.
As we pulled the first plant out of the solo cups, I quickly began to understand what I was dealing with...The roots were at the bottom wrapping around big time......every single one of my plants needed a serious transplant.
So right now I have 3 in straight coco, two in a coco / soil / perlite mix and one in soil / perlite.
I am hoping this makes them happy. Will post pics later
