I'm thinking on vegging to fill the tent up...Depends on how long that takes, Im hoping for atleast 6 females but 9 would be ideal. I've just started lst as well. Atleast another 3 weeks of veg.

about half of my plants were drooping pretty bad today, I thought it could be due to rootbound and luckily today was transplant day. But it seems in combination with transplanting and being shocked from root bound they are still very droopy after about 6 hours of being in there new pots....It's my first time using coco and the plants were transplanted from dixie cups with pro mix soil to coco with perlite so that also could be a factor...

If they are not perky by tommorow morning then I am posting pictures because I can't afford to lose anymore plants.

Hey guys,

First big trouble of the grow....The drooping plants have now been in there transplanted pots of coco for two days and show no sign of regaining strength in the drooping leaves...A few of them adjusted fine but the other 6 are looking really bad...I need help. I was thinking it could be water logged but I squeezed the excess water out of the coco before potting...

I'll be posting pictures shortly.

Other news:

Just ordered from attitude for the first time.
I got:

3 x feminized Auto AK47xlowrider2
3 x feminized sweet seeds big devil auto
Freebies:
1 x Kalashnikova feminized
1 x Super Bud feminized
1 x Exodus Cheese feminized
1 x Super Sour OG feminized
1 x Grapefruit Krush feminized

These will be grown half indoor and half outdoor unless I can't revive my sick plants that I have vegging right now, in which case they will be entirely indoor.

Last Pic is pre transplant....As you can see the two that were already tranplanted are doing well...6 of them are still drooping after 48 hours...runn off was 6.5 but I fear they may be overwatered and don't want to flush again....Also, they were not really even watered, I just soaked the coco in ph'd water for a few hours before squeezing out the excess, mixing in 25% perlite and transplanting...I have no idea whats wrong but there are about 2 of them that look extremely close to death...

What's the point of posting pictures if nobody wants to help...

I bought some h202 today, only 3%, that's all I could find, so I might mix a bottle of it with a gallon of water and flush with it, I think the roots need more air, or perhaps the nutrients are getting sucked out of the leaves because I flushed the coco....

Not sure how much help I'll be. Not sure if you did or not. but I'd put a layer of perlite in the bottom of the container to help with water drainage. Check the moisture in your container with a soil meter. If you don't have one then GET ONE. You should water thoroughly til you see runoff, allow to dry out (approx. 1 week) then water again. Should be roughly 1/2-1 gallon each watering. Depending on container size. They actually look like they could use a good watering. Use cool/warm water to water with. Stick your finger in and see how wet it is if you don't have a meter.
And as far as vegging them until the room is full. they triple in size during flowering so they will get cramped and cause mold, pests, and lighting issues. So you might wanna flower when room is bout 3/4 full so it will be full when you are done. IMO. Keep up the good work bongsmilie

The coco seems fairly moist I watered a little with cal mag last night. I really don't know whats wrong, theres now two that are close to death...I don't know whether to try h202 on the roots or transplant to soil or feed...

They are still sickly so I decided to try a few things. I took the two droopiest and weakest that look like they may die. I uprooted one and soaked the rootball in a h202 solution before replanting, I was very gentle with it. The second one I flushed with ph 5.9 water with some organic iguana juice....But the ph came of at 7.0? Could this be my problem

i think 7 is fine. Some growers even say 7 as their number for weed. Wish i knew why or could help the only thing is that i think normally h202 should be like 1 to 5 or 10 to the water.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you are supposed to use h2o2 with Iguana Juice or with Organics period. For hydro I try to stay around 5.8 but I know with soil it's a little higher but I would still think 6.2-6.8

I haven't used the H202 with the iguana juice. I treated one planted that wasn't being fed with h202 and feed one with iguana juice, to test a few different situations that may be occuring. As of this morning, they are all still sickly looking

Day 27. Today is day 4 after transplant.
4/9 plants are doing well now.

The rest are still drooping but seem to be a little less droopy and there is one that is still extremely droopy and looks to be dying.

I feed 7/9 plants that seemed to be dry the first 3 inches or so deep in the coco.

Feedling was:

5 ml Flora micro
2 ml Cal Mag
Gallon of water

Ph'd to 6.0.

I'm hoping this will help the plants as it is the first nutrients introduced into the coco except for a very dilute cal mag feeding two days ago.

Flora micro bottle says 10ml/ gallon for full strength veg feeding and the calmag bottle says 5 ml/gallon for feeding so this is what I gaged my feeding off of

Here are pics from right before I turned the lights on. Sorry that they are sideways again. I still haven't figure out why they go that way when I transfer them. As you can see, some aer still droopy, Believe it or not the one in the grey bucket that is reallly droopy looks to be recovering , I uprooted her and dipped her root ball in H202 solution to wash away the soil and re trasnplanted back into the coco. Her leaves are still droopy but hava come up off the soil...
