Im new gowing N I have a few plants (6). I may be doing all of this wrong so thats where I need the help! I have 6 cfl lights one on each plant. My plants are on their 3rd layer of leafs. I just transferred them from their plastic cups to new bigger pots! I put them in MG soil( witch I read was bad after I transplanted them :( ) and they look to be all healthy except for one the leafs seem to be dropping downwards. I read it could be from over feeding it . If soo is there anyway I can recover it. And since I just transplanted them is there something I should do soo they are not to stressed out? Any info you have would be sooooo helpful!!
Thanks

For starters. Youll need more light. Rule of thumb for CFL's are 100 true watts per plant. Most CFL's your find at wally world etc are on 23w / 100w equivelent < do not listen to that. They are 23w. So you will need at least 4 per plant to keep it happy.

Soil grows are not my thing. But over watering is a huge problem with new growers. Too much love = Death. Im sure your plants are in shock from the transplant. And without pics a diagnosis is nearly impossible.

Drooping is commonly caused by stress to the plant. Besides the light and other advice above, I'd ask you to wait and see - these plants are highly resilient so you should be fine unless they dont perk up again within a day or 2 after the transplant.

I had a plant in stress for a week after i transplanted to DWC. Now shes going strong, it took all that time to get some rooting down... just my experience...
