Hi everybody!


Chillin here on a sunday morning waiting for the gym to open and i have noticed that my lil guy has not improved over the past 48 hours. Heres the run down.

Transplanted from 2 gal to 5 gal 3 days ago. Watered on transplant day have not watered since then. (I watered the big guy yesterday he seems to be healthy!)

PH is around 5.5-6, temps are in the 70's and running 7ml/gal grow big, 14ml/gal big bloom.


Heres the sick guy :(




My healthy stinker





This is my first grow, i got these two larger plants from a buddy grower who says they are either blueberry mango or biggy smalls, what do you guys think?


Heres my setup:



And these lil guys, about 10 days old.



Thank for the help!

Ph should be 6.4 - 6.8 in soil , thats what your problem is, bring that ph up, use some dolomite lime or just flush a shitload of 6.8 water through the pot. Untill the runoff is 6.4 - 6.8


5.6-6 is for hydro.

I guess you could call this somewhat of a hijack of a thread but I'm asking a question for this guy as well as my own personal information. I know when you transplant trees you have to make sure that they are situated directionally the way they were when they were balled (i.e. East side of tree has to face due East). Would that be the same case with plants too?

Say what? It doesn't matter what the original exposure was or all ot the millions of transplants sold by commercial nurseries would have such instructions.

See Uncle Ben's thread for the full treatment. Your plants look exactly like what I ran into at that size -- turned out to be simple underwatering. Looks like you have a very similar plant/pot size ratio as me. On 18/6, I was watering everyday to keep up. Now on 12/12, they've cut back their water consumption a bit -- less heat from the lamp, primarily.

I thought my problem was pH at first, too. Occam's razor at work..

Ok, but would it help? Would it hinder?

Like I said, the original orientation of the light makes no difference botanically. Acclimation to light intensity is another issue, perhaps that is what they meant.

Bottom line, sounds like someone is trying to pass off a bunch of hocus pocus voodoo bullshit on you.

for sure, thanks for the tips.

took action this morning and deduced that they are underwatered, over fertilized and a little acidic. Watered today with no nutes and 5ml of PH up.
