You gotta get your watering down better. Maybe if you got one of those stick in the pot hygrometers it might help. Some days are dryer than others and plant pots can dry out quicker, and when the weather is constantly wet the plant pots hold moisture longer. Some people go as far as weighing their plant pots for moisture :)

You need to give us more info.

Transplanted from? to where?
Did you thoroughly soak the destination pot?
What is the runoff ph from the original pot? What is the runoff ph of the destination pot before transplanting?
Are you using the same nute? same concentration?

You could have a nute lockout for any reason.

When transplanting, we have to minimize any differences between the source and the destination. As much as possible the source and destination should have the same composition and nute characteristics.

Well, I really think you have a ph issue from the transplant. And based from your NPK of 6-9-6 you might even have phosporus toxicity, at that amount, it could be interfering with zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) uptake. On top of that your plant could also have manganese toxicity and combined with iron defeciency will result to choloris.

If that's my plant, I would flush it and change my nute. The nute should be higher in Nitrogen and Potassium and lower in Phosphate.

If you went from a mix that was lower in nutrient value to a mix with a higher nutrient value then what you could be experiencing is nutrient burn from the sudden exposure when before there was very little, especially if you fertilized on top of it. If your new growth is looking o.k it probably isnt that huge of an issue but if the new tip top stuff is frying then it needs IMMEDIATE attention but until then its watchful waiting. Water with clean clear water for a couple rounds and let the plant catch up and settle into the horror lol. Dont chase the dragon by pouring copious amounts of water through your pot, you will swing from a toxicity issue to a deficiency issue and then your fucked. Of course these are only opinions and should only be taken as such.

Any 'correct' fertilizer would fix the problem. My suggestion though, read up on NPK, try to understand what's all about. In the long run that would help you using the right fertilizer instead of relying on labels.

Im not familiar with fox farm nute. Your choice could be 1) follow manufacturer direction 2) If its me (since I never follow manufacturer direction :mrgreen:), and based from those NPK labels, I would use 1 tsp of Grow Big + 1/2 a tsp of Big Bloom per gallon to start and go from there.

But flush it good first.

:peace:

Oh I see in your post now. You used Miracle grow 3 month time delay soil? Thats what Im seeing? And you fertilized also.? Ok... You are burning the crap out if it Im seeing this all correctly. Flush until the cows come home as its time delay and not going anywhere quickly. Add more nutes and see what happens. Again, ride the "fuck up storm" and stop worrying. It will all be o.k and dont think about measuring runoff as this is a "soil" myth only. Just dont fertilize anymore at least for a little bit until you get it really nailed down . Happy growing my man. Ignore all of this if I got it wrong in the beginning

hey I was wondering if there is any chance I can grow without a ph meter
If you don't mind losing plant vigor to nutrient uptake issues then sure. Without knowing your pH, it's like throwing a dart blindfolded - you might get a bullseye - but if you want a better chance, take off the blindfold.

A good meter is under $100 with all of the calibration and storage solutions. Calibrate it properly and regularly and follow the directions to care for it and it will most likely pay for itself by allowing you to avoid costly resource consuming mistakes.

Can this fox farm fix the problem
if your new to growing I wouldn't suggest that brand

id suggest the GH floranova for bloom and floragrow for veg
its a complete and balanced all in one fertilizer complete with fulvic, kelp, and aminos
the directions are good and they list everything proper on the label

does the miracle grow fertilizer contain slow release fertilizers?

does it say something like feeds for up to 12 weeks or whatever?

miracle grow would be my very last choice in soil... id like to say your ph is good cuz you purchased a decent bag soil that is already in a balanced PH range, but with the MG who knows man

theres absolutely some over fertilizing going on and some type of lockout or def,

find out what other soils are available to you and aks which is the better... fox farm makes good soil ... or maybe make your own

I use fox farm soil and fox farm nutes. If you do decide to go with it id highly suggest going atleast half strength maybe even a 1/4 the first feed. Tbh id check PH before i did anything else i saw you say you dont have a meter id say its worth the hassle to get one real quick if you care about that plant makin it to harvest. Next time go with a ph buffered soil like ff and it makes it a lot easier. Its a good brand of nutes though theyve done my plant justice. Good luck hope you get her happy again

lots of people have great success using them, for sure

but my opinion is theyre not the easiest or least complicated for someone newer to growing and having nutrient imbalances

if you grow in soil and you've grown enough to be able to see or anticipate what your plants are or will ask for theyre fine, if you speak the plant language if you will lol

but I wouldn't consider using them in a hydro set up... no offense

Light burn. The light was brighter where you transplanted them to, especially if it was LEDs. At least that's what it looks like, could be numerous things.
