HELP! First time grower, plants were doing well but growing slowly so i decided to change from potting mix soil to coco coir mix... they are in same size pots and wernt damaged during transplant but are in complete shock and seem to be dying. Not to mention the day after transplant was 43° ... the 1st 2 pics are the worst but the rest seem to just have a bit of sun burn... the last pic is probably the only one that looks like she might make it... is there anything i can do to help the others or is it lost cause?

That last pic looks like it was flowering, these are monster cropped clones I am guessing? If that is the case, could be why they were slow growing, the hormones hadn't fully swapped yet

That last pic zoomed in, looks like pistils turned brown? I don’t know anything about autos maybe that’s normal

Yeah the pistils were like a light green colour before i changed the medium but now they are all brown.. they are in complete shock! Don't know what i can do to save them ?

This was that same plant a week or two before transplant when i first noticed them

Are you sure those are not clones? They look like clones taken about the 3rd week of flower, well 2 of them do. The one looks like you should have left it in soil, fed it, letting it get sun.

Id start over, and not use the strain you used, nor the coco brand you used, or figure out the salt content, and get rid of it.
Plants also look burned up.

I like Promix BX myself. Im also not a slave to the garden, and can leave it a day, or 2 if I have to.

Also not a fan of Auto Flowering.

Id just as soon start some Mr Nice Super Silver Haze seeds, grow them for 1 week-10 days under 24 hours, and then switch to 12.
Then Id kill the males as they show.
They stretch like crazy in flower, and will produce a lot, and most will be done in 80 days, or less from seed in this method. Veg 10 days, flower 70. Or you can just grow them from 12 hours.

Jimihendrix1- i didn't see the transplant but pretty sure the coco mix came as a brick that needed to be broken down with water? So i guess so ?

Powertech- so do you think its worth watering them now?

Is there not anything to do to save any of them now?

For the time it would take/if they recover would probably be longer than just starting good/new seeds.

Coco generally needs to have the crap flushed out of it. My buddy flushed some out 5-6 times, 100+ gallons of water, and it still burned/killed the seedlings. We went back to Promix BX. We used Canna Coir. Not a fan.

Is that hay or wood? I would say there’s a good chance unless you pasteurized/sterilized it, it fucking with your ph or some shit. Maybe underwatered also, coco is really hard to overwater and you want to keep it saturated so the roots always have access to water and nutrients.
