I just hate having to stop what I'm doing to clean off a pair of snips, better to toss them aside and grab a fresh pair, then clean 'em at the end for a big o' ball of scissor hash

And I gotta have plenty for 'guests' too

late night rant from me.

i stuck 12 of my best mothers into boxes, into the very back corner of a uhaul truck, and they sat there for 5+ days with no light and no air circulation, with temps down to 25 degrees on my trip across the west from portland to denver through idaho, utah, and wyoming.

i finally got them out of their box while it was snowing after unpacking the entire truck and to my amazement, they not only survived but they looked great. not a single wilted leaf or yellowing top. it was as if they spent a few minutes in there.

those 12 moms then sat for four days with only two common household lamps giving them 26 combined watts of CFL light while i unpacked all our stuff and got around to building the veg room.

they took off after getting their full light and nutes again. there was so much new growth that i was able to clone them and throw them into flower well ahead of when i expected to, as i thought they'd need much longer to recover from their traumatic move.

and now those little cunts have decided to rebel. maybe it is transplant shock, maybe it is the 58 degree temps in my garage thanks to this sudden snow and cold spell. but they are drooping harder than i've ever seen them do. i've never seen transplant or cold shock like this before in similar or worse conditions.

maybe it's the thin air and altitude they don't like. but i'm gonna be real worried if they don't start looking much better, and soon.

goddamn selectively resilient plants. driving me crazy.

rant over.

Damn, shitty luck man. (in the end) that's pretty amazing about the move though. Shit even if I let air circulation stay on and just killed my lights for 5 days, I'm betting my girls would be in a bad way. Surprised the moisture in the pots didn't freeze at 25 degrees.

Could it be anything else other than the temps? Big change in RH?

I'm betting the dry climate definitely has something to do with their pissy attitudes. Low humidity is something I battle, as well (not as bad as CO), being up @ 4500 elevation in (CA). Never dips below 25% in moms closet, but it's enough to dick with them when i vent in from outdoors. It's just so weird how your girls can truck through something crazy like a 3500 mile trip, smile at ya, and then turn right around, and wilt when they find their new home. I'm sure, after a week or two, they'll rebound.

yep, big change in RH from portland to denver. but it's 30% RH out there now, and it was the same in their new veg room. i'm trying not to freak out but i need this crop. moving was costly and set me back a month or two or three as far as new crops go.

if it was not late night, i might have jibber jabbered my stress instead. but it is late night. thus the cove.

My current flower room (soon to be my veg room) is built outta OSB and is in my garage. RH stays at around 45%. My veg tent is on the second floor of my house and it's like 30 in there. Even when I'm pulling nice fresh air in from outside.When my girls were veggin in the room in the garage in the beginning of the grow, they were growing a hell of a lot quicker than the girls I have veggin in that low RH tent right now.

it's a droop, not a wilt. they are still turgid and all. some curling too. maybe their PH got changed too fast with the new soil. maybe it's just a shitty batch of soil.

currently stressing for the rebound.

I'm sure Canna, Meta, and others will agree - it's killer to have you come through, man.

Ah. Curling? Ph could very well be to blame.

when was the transplant? Did you change soil or just up-pot?
