You give unsound advice Xeonsis. Plants that young cannot tollerate the mid-summer, mid afternoon sun. Its to much. Direct morning and evening sun. Indirect mid day sun till they get bigger.either way the new soil will fix that problem. before i transplanted, a few of the leaves started doing the same but stopped right after. 2 days after doing another transplant to the smaller plant, the upper leaves started turner darker green and shimmering. as in the new soil that the roots had grown into was reaching the plant and helped it. the previous soil i had was very low in nutes like your previous setup was. the mg is golden.
my plant recovered from and went through even more crap and its growing inches a day now and sucking up tons of water, just give it a few days, probably up to 4 before you see any real signs since its still little. you do gotta get the light thing sorted out though, it needs tons of sunlight right now to heal and use the nutes.
Here is were it tumbled. No Xenosis I was not backing you up. "Your soil medium contains no nutes in it." "If anything use a nute free soil combo."if anything its probably nute deficiency coupled with possible harsh lighting/heat conditions. do you have records of the general humidity and temperatures the plants are in out-doors?
your soil medium combination has virtually no nutes in it. i wouldnt recommend using peat moss at all and keep the soil mix simple for now until you can weed out the problems.
if anything use a nute free soil combo just in a small container for until the plant grows its first set of real leaves, then transfer it into a larger pot with 20-10-10 as it starts looking for nitrogen at this point.
not seeing this tumbling, but perhaps i was not clear enough. seedlings can be grown in very low nute soil to the point where it hits the vegging stage, which happens to be pretty early on. this was the only point i was making there, and in fact you just backed me up again by reiterating what i said. the low nute soil is ok only for young young plants. the soil needs nutes for the plant to grow big and strong.Here is were it tumbled. No Xenosis I was not backing you up. "Your soil medium contains no nutes in it." "If anything use a nute free soil combo."
And busy as I am right now. But still going to break this one down. Post by post if needed. Or you could just both follow the link provided. Your call..... Because "trial" and "error" need not be options with the information at hand.
Your entire post says it all.if anything its probably nute deficiency coupled with possible harsh lighting/heat conditions. do you have records of the general humidity and temperatures the plants are in out-doors?

thanks?Your entire post says it all.
entirely agree, but sometimes people start before they have learned everything there is to learn, no?And first grows do not need to be trial and error. You can start on a solid foundation and get good results from the start if you do the homework. After that its just tuning in.
good to hear, pics would def be nice.little update.......plant is showing signs of growth so far, problems have not progressed......I would like to thank Xenosis for his support and VALUABLE information.......The next set of leaves are growing and things seem to be going well so far...I will post more tom...thank you
I use $9 12w t5's from home depot for germination and it's never been a problem.you need around 30k lumens worth of CFLs or equiv with t5's. lumen output should be marked on the bulbs. and you would want daylight bulbs for vegging and soft white bulbs for flowering if you get to that point and dont have a hps hid.
you wont see too much improvement in the existing leaves, but newer growth will be nice and green and the stem should bulk up.
how many? (roughly 1450-1600 lumens ea i believe)I use $9 12w t5's from home depot for germination and it's never been a problem.
I have a gorilla rack with one strip of 2 12w t5 bulbs screwed into the top of every shelf. 4 shelfs, a total of 8 lights with 2 bulbs each. then reptile heating pads with a beach towel sitting on each shelf that I only plug in during the winter. I have no idea how many lumens. A friend of mine up in Eureka cuts clones professionally (about 2-3k clones per month) and that's what he puts his in, so I just copied his system and it works fine for me. Never had a problem with it.how many? (roughly 1450-1600 lumens ea i believe)
nice sounds like a good setup.I have a gorilla rack with one strip of 2 12w t5 bulbs screwed into the top of every shelf. 4 shelfs, a total of 8 lights with 2 bulbs each. then reptile heating pads with a beach towel sitting on each shelf that I only plug in during the winter.

looks healthy, make sure you give it some good light.ok, so here is todays's update, my plant seems to doing good and growing.....
good news is i just got a bunch of seeds that i just put in paper towel to germinate!
THE GREAT NEWS: I am adopting this plant from my friend who i gave instructions on how to do it......check out the pics and give me your opinions!! thank you
great news. It looks healthy. Now just feed it water and don't mess with the roots!ok, so here is todays's update, my plant seems to doing good and growing.....
