Ok I posted this in my other thread but got not response so figured id have better luck this way:
So I recently transplanted to larger pots
And I have a friend who gave me 3 1 month old plants he claimed to be "jamaican red hair", which Im not sure if thats even a real strain, let alone that this guy would have it...
My little seedlings seem to be doing fine since the transplant, but his 3 are very droopy...and when he gave them to me they had what looked like fert burn on the leaves and told me he had mixed miracle grow fert in with there dirt
fucking moron
anyways....so I kinda flushed them....but I am scared of killing them, considering they were just stressed through transplanting and dont seem very strong right now...any advice?

Don't flush miracle grow, the nutes are time release and the more water they get the more nutes they release. Flushing miracle grow makes the nutes in the soil stronger not weaker like most quality soils. I'ld say your best bet now is to either repot very carefully if they are small enough trying to get rid of as much of the soil they are in now, or even better just leave them be and see if they come back. Spray N Grow may work as well to bring some vigor back.

well I repotted them when he gave them to me...he had them in big gulp cups, hahahahahaha
But when I repotted them I tried to knock off as much of the fert he had them in as possible...most of it came off the roots, although I didnt pry at any of it for fear of damaging the roots
I put them into a 50/50 mix of Perlite and coconut fiber...have been watering them, but carefully, they are under 6 26w 6500k cfls, and the seedlings that I have planted with them in the same type of soil and conditions are doing great....but the other 3 plants started drooping as soon as I potted them and have just been getting worse since...if I can find some AA batteries Ill take some pics

idk, im sure you can buy some kind of plant medication, like a pick me up, that saves dying plants, just call a garden store, and ask if they have anything like that, just say, oh well i have um this plant, i dont know what it is, i bought 3 of them at wal mart, they are tropical, and i wanted them to get bigger, so i put them in bigger planters, and now they are dying?

thats what i would do.

good luck though
