Let me get right to it. My plant is about 1 and a half months old and after transplant and giving them a tiny bit of nutes the leaves started to droop and I noticed some browning in some of the leaf tips (some not all and minor)
I also noticed that half way up the main shoot the stem is starting to turn purplish red that extends to some of the branches to the leaf but the purple stops at the leaf. the leaf still looks healthy green. Also the leafs that are growing from the main shoot are droopy as well (is this normal?) The leafs are dry to the touch almost crispy, but I know that they have been watered properly. (I have this thing that measures moisture.) Lastly they are in MG soil that specializes in moisture controll. I need some help Please. I love my babies and I want them to be ok.

More Pics. I also heard that you can not flush MG soil becuase if it is nute burn flushing mg soil will only release more nutes. Advice needed. thanks.

You flushed Mg soil and your plants were fine?

I used Mg soil with time release in my first grow and flushed it a few times. Yes you can flush it out. Just remember when using Mg soil, chances are real good you may not need any nutes at all for the first 2 months. I used flowering nutes 2 months after transplant and burned my plant.

Can I use molasses without hurting the plant this early. If not when is it good to start using molasses?

will this plant be ok. what do you guys think. and when should I flush if needed. I just transplanted 2 days ago. I think she is just recovering from the stress of the transplant and I just gave her nutes yesterday. Thanks godspeed I will not use any more nutes on her till she gets older.

Be careful with adding nutes in mg soil best to let it dry up before you flush it again as you know its got time released moisture controlled ferts already in it so flushing whilst wet will only increase your probs.
Brown tips are from adding nutes to mg soil,not a good idea to do that for at least 6 weeks i would say

Thanks nat moon. I know that now. I added 7 drops of nutes to 1 gallon of water and it fuckin burnt my baby. I will throw that gallon away. Thanks. What do you think about the other problems. Drooping, purplish stems leading to the leafs. Is this normal from the stress?

Its probably nute burn,incorrect soil ph and the cold.
You need to maintain a warm temp during lights off.
If you know you live a bad water area invest in a water checking kit with ph metre.
I don't bother with this as i live in a soft water area so i cant help you with advice on this matter other than i know it is necessary depending on the area you live ins water quality.
The purple could also be caused by stress or lack of oxygen to the root systems
