I have 6 medical plants that I transplanted Monday. 4 were in 1 gallon pots, and 2 were in 2 gallon pots. All 6 went into 7 gallon grow bags with vermifire potting soil with 10 percent perlite added. Vermifire has a fair amount of perlite already. I use 2 600 watt MH reflector hoods, room is cooled with portable AC. Temp range with lights on is 72-84. I have one small hot spot that gets to 88 for about 1-2 hours during 18 hour light cycle. Checked with soil meter today and soil has dried out to mostly dry and wet on bottom 1/4 of pot so I don't think they are over watered. My room has a venting fan which I don't use this time of year because it draws in extremely hot air from garage. This is a closed grow for temp reasons. Garage is unisulated. Temps run 80-90 in garage this time of year. I use 2 oscillating fans also. Here are picks of my plants. Plan on vegi them for 24 more days plants are 2 Big Blue Cheese, 3 THC Bombs and 1 White Widow. Any advice is welcome. Plants have looked droopy to me for 48 hours.

If the droop came on right after the transplant I would think it is related. Not uncommon to get an overwatered look after transplant to significantly larger pot if it was fully wetted at transplant.

I was wondering if that was just transplant shock, but I wasn't sure.

Yes it can happen from transplanting..shock..and it can also happen when they get to much nitrogen aswell ..is there nutrients in the soil already..if so what's the ec ..should be on the bag...or you feeding veg nutes to them...your leaves are very dark green if they have a glossy shine to them there getting to much nitrogen...just my thought happy growing.

This soil is pretty hot and does have a lot of nitrogen. If they get too much do I wait it out, or do I need to flush? I would think flushing would give plant more nitrogen. Not sure if I need to do anything.

My plants are getting even more dark green then before and getting more curled. Starting to really worry. Could this kill whole crop? Will I lose all the leaves? Seeing one plant with nutrient burn, others all look the same with toxicity. Maybe I risk transplanting to a low nutrient soil?
