Hempy Not as Easy as it Looks, Apparently

I'm new at hempy but have not had any problems. I don't have a bubble cloner and have only used rockwool and jiffy pellets for cloning. I haven't killed anything yet except for a male and it's clones. I like to ph the water and use water with a bit of B1 or superthrive when transplanting. It may not be ideal but nothing had died and everything seems to be growing well. I've heard that you can't overwater with hempy as long as your drain works. I probably use way too much water and nutes but I've had no burn and no wiltiness. It's a pretty hearty plant.

Do you have a humidity dome? You could throw some clear cups over the plants to up the humidity a bit. That may help.

Good luck.

As for pouring in one spot, I try to water close to the stem until the roots hit the bottom. It's obvious when the roots hit the reservoir. ;) Here's a picture of a rootball from a 5 or 6 week old plant:

So after a thorough rinsing and a little time, my babies are doing just fine. There really isn't too much to hempy, but I kinda screwed up on a small but important step in the beginning by not rinsing all of that perlite dust out.

Yea I justr transplanted mine and I have 3 that are drooping pretty bad. No discolor or yellowing like yours but drooping pretty bad. They are in cubes... man I hate cubes so my guess they are over watered. Nutes were about 430... flora grow, flora micro and HG root excel.... as were there feeding from the clone shop. I am hoping for the best.

glad to see yours perking up brother.

Abit Late but this happens sometimes for me, after transplanting, its natural for a few days maybe 3-5 days it'll droop like its lacking, but its just adjusting to the new medium after a while it'll return to its healthy self. So for anyone still lurking there you go :D
