Help over watering in soil.

Hello
I am growing in soil for the first time in years. I recently transplanted seven OG Raskal WIFI Aliens from solo cup to 2 gallon canvas pots in Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil.
I gave them almost a gallon of RO water when transplanting and three days later they look like their dying... I assume they got over watered?
Will these plants have a chance to bounce back or are they done?

Possible root disease that was coincident with the transplant. Or you fucked that transplant up bad.

The roots seemed fine. I cut the cups when removing them.. Soil seems very sensitive to watering. I did water the cups and then the 2 gallon containers maybe the double watering was too much. Either way this shit is wayy too sensitive for my taste... Considering back to hydro....

I'm desperately looking for a mom out of these seeds and would hate to lose these genetics. From experience, if I let them dry out a few more days and then water, can they bounce back and produce new growth?

Over watering does not make sense. If you put one gallon of water on 4 gallons of soil, that is likely close to the holding capacity of the soil. No way they would still have the curved leaf structure some 3 days later from lack of O2. They are not getting oxygen for some other reason and disease is all I can think of, assuming you didn't shred the root ball, which I'm guessing you didn't.

I didn't shred it. So what are my options? Trash em?

One gallon per plant (almost) btw.

I'm betting he watered in each plant with an entire gallon and drowned the shit out of them.

Nija'd.

So is there any remedy or fix? Next course of action? Wait and see? Thnx.

Was the soil used? A good dose of nitrogen should help...which normally wouldn't be a prob in ffof.

a good dose of nitrogen? are you kidding? those are not even uptaking nitrogen right now would surely end the game

That would likely produce a lot of run off which leached the soil removing nutes. And being RO you supplied no cal/mag so there would be little photosynthesis occurring in lower leaves. I'd get some cal/mag added on next watering and a low nute dose, see what happens. If you cut your soil with about 25% perlite next time, your soil will have better aeration, which makes everything easier.

give them another gallon of water, correct temps, rh, c02, air flow, and sit back. add another gallon when pots are light again, begin feeding when they are recovered. they did not get overwatered,,near impossible to do in those bags without constant flow.
do not flower until recovered.
plants got shocked somehow but will recover, as long as you cut those ugly old leaves off.
feed with a any system but FF, never use that soil or any of their products again, for best results.
use your grow formula at half at first, then full if they can take it, now flower, and use it some more even in flower. til about halfway through, maybe half and half even, then full bloom nutes according to directions

Thanks for the help.
I pulled one out and transplanted in to fresh FFOF in a 3 Gallon pot. Gave it a mist of water and thats it. The roots weren't brown but still stunted to the dimensions of the solocup. While the soil was dry on the outer edges of the bag it was still very wet in the core...

why the transplant? into the same dirt? thats a mess of shock man...

Looked for root rot really. Didnt see any so I'll wait on the rest.

Growing in dirt to sex moms. It was a cheaper starting cost. I will be going back to hydro very soon.

Don't water again until that soil dries out. Lift the plant while it's wet. When it's good and dry it should be a lot lighter, not quite half as light, but close to it.

Then start watering regularly again WITHOUT drowning them. Lay off the nutrients too until they recover decently. If you start feeding right away while they're shocked you'll do far more harm than good.
