HELP!
First pic and second last pic is pre transplant and the rest is after transplanting into coco from dixie cups filled with promix soil. I soaked the coco in warm water for an hour to expand; then rinsed it with cold water to get the temperature up in the medium.
I squeezed out the excess water because it was super damp. Mixed in 25% perlite and transplanted....They have been droopy and one is looking dead for the past three days...I added a little calmag last night....I checked the roots on the one that looks dead and they are still pretty white...
Runoff was 6.0.
Why take so many pictures sideways? I feel like I almost hurt my neck just to look.
Sounds like you are tripping out. Coco runoff pH is not accurate and should be ignored. You always use a 5.8 solution. Coco is inert, it does not contain food, so you need to feed the coco eventually. Just Cal-Mag isn't going to cut it. I'm not sure where you got your expansion instructions from but I don't think you did anything necessarily wrong that would be causing the problem you see now.
When you water always get at least 30% runoff with coco. For the time being, only water when the weight of the planter is <50% what it is when completely saturated. So... if it weighs 10lbs wet then wait for it to weigh about 4 pounds dry. Doesn't need to be exact.
The longer periods of "dryness" will help your roots grow outwards and keep them healthy.
They are probably just stressed out. I find that sometimes it takes about a week from transplant before I see growth return to normal vigor. Don't go stressing yourself out too. Stay the course, water and feed appropriately for your specific media and she'll recover soon enough.
