hey guys I recently decided to switch from soil to hydro but I'd already taken the cuttings in soil and they were about 2 weeks rooted in small soil cups. Anyway they are now in a bubbler type hydroponic setup till I get my ebb and flow setup ready for them.
So plants are looking fine nute wise, nice green leaves but they are clearly suffering from massive transplant stress. I was pretty rough on the roots and they got switched to hydro at same time. Anyway nice bundle of roots poking out again but top of plant still badly stressed... ->
ie single bladed leaves, longer internode spacing(stretching) but most bothering and new to me is that no new nodes are beeing produced.
normally where a leaf comes out of the stem there will be a node for a new grow tip to emerge from. With a mature plant there will be a pistil either side too. Anyway my cuttings are producing a single leaf and inbetween that and the stem will be a bundle of 3 pistils instead of a grow tip surrounded by 2 pistils so the past 4 leaf internodes are never going to produce any grow tips/branches. I know this is plant stress due to switching to hydro, I just want to know how long for the plant to sort itself out if it will at all! I can't lose these genetics but without growing tips these plant will turn into useless runts. Alrready I can see my yield beeing affected if I have to flower this plant with half its branches missing
So please input from someone who has seen this plant stress symptom
