New Grower Need Help

Hey Everyone. I have some concerns about a few of my plants. I re transplanted them to bigger pots around the 18th or 19th and a few days later noticed a laundry list of problem. Got some advice from a few members here on what the issue may have been or was.
So what I ended up doing was pulling all the plants out of the medium they were in. Which was Miracle Grow. Low and behold the MG was saturated with water. In turn soaking the nutes and frying my plant. No where near enough perlite and drains were blocked.

I went with the HF& OF 60/40 or close with some added perlite. Dipped each plants roots in clean water and re re transplanted them Saturday. I only water each plant with roughly 24 oz maybe a bit more. A few were drooping and the soil was dry Monday so I watered about the same. But Monday I noticed a few plants were looking light green. Lime green even neon green.

I have added no food period to these plants since they went into the new soil Saturday. And I was advised that due to the nutes that may have remained in the roots after the wash.

I can’t feed them today if that were an option. Because I watered them today. And I don’t want to overwater.

Ph is around 6.20.
Soil is HF&OF
2 Marshydro 2000
No ppm but I assume it’s fairly low.
No food other the what is in the soil.

Thanx in advance.

Foliar sprayed right at lights out. So now it’s a waiting game. Seem like through out all the issues I’ve dealt with they are still growing. I topped 2 slow pokes yesterday and they seem to be growing out fast. Thanx for all the advice.

What size pot were you in & what size pot did you transplant into? Because If you transplanted into FFOF & FFHF, you shouldn’t need to feed for at least a couple weeks. Plain water should get you through a few weeks after transplant.

Then, after a few weeks, you have a couple options. Top dress with some amendments like dr earth or start bottle feeding with nutrients/salts

Hope you had some epson salt or langbeinite in that foliar feed you just did, cuz that should put you back on track

I went from 1 gallons to 5 gallons. Then I pulled them out of the 5 gallons and changed soil and put them back in the same 5 gallon pots. I may look into the Dr Earth but as on now I have plenty of liquid nutes. Which I heard is better for coco verses soil but can still be used. Thanx for the advice.

Have you every sprayed with langbeinite, and at what ratio?
Click to expand...

Never sprayed with langbeinite cuz I have the solution grade langbeinite from down to earth which is immediately available so, I see the results super fast anyway. I once had a lime green plant start to turn back green in the matter of minutes & then within 12 hours is was back to a nice lush green. I was in the garden for part of the time & literally saw changes before my eyes!

What I like about the langbeinite is it is already in a perfect ratio of K:Mg:S & all these nutrients have direct relationships with each other ie Mg antagonizes K & S which means the more of one you feed the more you will have to feed of the others because they decrease the availability of eachother

@PadawanWarrior BTW, I usually use a fat 1/2tsp once a week of the solution grade langbeinite. But I am not gardening with amendments, I am using highly soluble & available organic nutrients such as hydrolyzed soy bean aminos, soluble corn steep powder & other various KNF inputs. BTW the corn steep power kicks ass. It also plays off KNF in that they ferment corn steep into a liquor & then somehow turn it into a power that is 100% water soluble & immediately available with the ratio of 7-6-4. Also did I mention non-GMO:) Also, your favorite place to shop, Buildasoil, is now carrying their products. I’m no joke about to be ordering 50lbs

Not all is soluble so you are top dressing a bit too.

That sounds like a good additive is there something other than bpk that it provides
