Plants doing bad!!

Grow gurus...

Please help!! After transplanting my 4 females and putting them into their new home (new grow box) they are turning bad fast.

I will buy a PH meter tonight and see if it is soil PH, though I have no reason to believe this is the case. They actually started to turn bad before moving them. I am pretty sure I burnt them with nutes last week. Maybe the transplanting was the 1-2 punch. I have flushed twice. Now I am waiting for the roots to dry out some, as I am sure they have too much moisture.

They are under 3 150w HPS with 70w HPS the sides and 5 42w CFLs across the back below the canopy, or at least they would be if there was still a "canopy."

My plan at this point is to keep a close eye on them. I will check them at about 3am this morning for temp and humidity. Maybe the heater I am using is not keeping up and they are getting cold, or maybe it is getting tyhem too hot. I do not suspect this is the case, but I will check this AM.

At this point I am shotting in the dark. I have no idea other than the combined stress of the changes over the last few days. Thoughts????!!!

I would do what your doing. Keep away from nuts for awhile. Don't over heat.
A great way to help heal sick plants is aspirin !.5 per gallon ( non-coated) with a small amount of liquid soap... 1 drop per gallon ( the soap will keep it on the leafs).
Spray them and water the roots too. There is an acid in the aspirin that will help. Honest

I will get some asprin in the morning and give it a shot. I was shocked this morning to see them doing worse. I would back the CFLs back down, but they do better on the side with the CFLs. I suspect they like the exact 2700k light, as the HPS is more like 2100.

they look fried. sorry. um, flush, but they look overwatered also.??? pray? sorry. i wish them my best. i'm sure they will pull thru.

I may have overwatered them when I transplanted them. I plan to give them nothing for a day or two and watch them close with the water meter.

I do think they will recover. Oddly, as bad as they are doing they are still putting on new growth.

Im going to agree with the overwater, That coupled with a new enviornment that they have to adjust to. Wait for it to use more of the water you gave it then start introducing balanced clean water to be safe. Nothing bad happens from plain old water from my experience so it really cant hurt.

So, based on what you have all shared this is how I think it went down.

I switched to 12/12 and changed to bloom booster. As a result I burnt the shit out of them. To recover I tried flush them twice which gave them way too much water. I then replanted them again, and watered them again. Can you say stupid with a capitial "S!"

I am going to leave them alone until my water meter says they are dry. I have 5 clones from them. I suspect they will recover in a couple of days. I will send an update and let you all know.

Thank you for the input.

BTW:.. on another note, my paranoid GF just flushed a bag of smoke because a cop car went by with the lights on... See why I have to grow!!

The two most common errors are too much fertilizer and too much water. Happens all the time.

On the girl friend ... have you guyz been smoking Cindy-99 by any chance? *lol*

I know... I read it every day right here, and still did it myself!!!

Nah... she is just young and a little wild. Kind of hard to fault her for either. Considering all the good she can pitch it for sport. God knows I have put up with much worse over the years. If I can just teach her to hold it over the toilet until somone knocks on the door.
