Newly planted clones are looking sick

outermind · #1 07-02-2008, 03:38 PM

Background:
I recently acquired a dozen clones fully rooted in rockwool. I have 6ea OGK & BK and they are 6-8" tall. I have no other background on the clones beyond that.

Problem:
Clones have been planted for 4 days and most are yellowing quite bad. 1 and 1 only has displayed a upwards curling of the fan leaves, and is looking much sicker than the rest. Am seeking any and all advice

Details:
Upon receiving them, I planted them in 4" jiffy pots in FoxFarm ocean forest. I did not remove the rockwool. They are under (1) 400w MH, which is ~24" away. Temp ranges between 74 - 78 F. Humidity steady at 40%. 1x daily watering w/ distilled water & superthrive. No nutrients at all. they have a fan blowing fresh air from an open window. no CO2.

.

Thanks in advance

I have the curling and yellow issues. I was told to try some super thrive. added 1/8 tsp to 1 gallon (1/2 the recommended dose) and watered. I just that today, ill keep you posted on what happens next. If any of you vets have any advice please help us out!!

They could be in shock from the transplanting. That is what super thrive is for stress. I hear of peeps giving super thrive all the time but i dnt agree with that. It may take a week or 2 for them to get better.

I was thinking transplant shock too. I have been watering w/ SuperThrive since I planted them, and will continue to do so.

Any other insight?

1 thing I left out of the original post is that my soil PH is 7.2

After checking out this page here:

Cannabis Nutrient and Deficiency Table

I am thinking I may have a Mg deficiency. I am going to try and add 1 tsp Epson Salt per Gallon to my H20 & Superthrive mix and see how that works. I also raised my 400w MH another 6" to 30" above the tops, just to be 100% sure they are not becoming stressed b/c of the light.

Ph of the H2O + Superthrive + Epson Salt mix is ~4.8

Wish me luck.... Still looking for advice
