Transplanted with water that had not been ph'd is the only thing. No bugs or nute change. Temps stay around 75°F and rh is good

Not sure if that would do it or not. Perhaps the transplant shocked her???....I'm guess'n man. Sorry I don't have a clear cut answer. Hopefully someone will chime in with the answer. I'll keep looking in my buzzedness.

Bing and the light bulb when off in my head. I remember when I got back into doing DWC, I got some "spring water" from the local store thinking that's what I got last time and did well with. Only I ended up with a 2 week old 2 inch tall stunted flop of a plant. While my soil plants thrived. Read up a bit, swapped the water for pure distilled with proper nuts, and booms took off like a rocket.

How out of wack is the un ph'd water? I'm just thinking maybe that it caused multiple nutrient lock out....or what he ^^^^ said. Is it different water, or the same that you use just without phing it?

I would think if it was nutrient lock the older growth would be discoloring more. Least from what I've seen when I nut locked some of mine a time or two.

If the nutes are locked out the new growth won't have the building blocks they need to form properly......If the water source changed, that would explain it.

It's totally possible it could be a nut lock issue with the water change. It may just be a matter of time before it spreads to the older growth. When I had mine I was already into the flowering stages. So I really didn't get to see the effect on new growth, other then my dwc mishap.

Another way to put this is. It's like living on a healthy diet all your life then going to eat at truck stop, you're gonna have a bad poopie.

The water wasn't ph'd for the transplant she had a lock. I gave her ph'd tap after that hoping she'd get better. Recently i fed her nutes with super thrive
 
It's been awhile since my last post but here she's is. She's definitely gotten better. It's taken some time but she's growing a lot faster. I have her on Lucas formula now and she's feeding every two days. Some of the old leaves are still there, I've cut a few off. I'll post a little more frequently now that she's growing.
 
She's been in veg for awhile since the transplant stress. My buddy Vice City Grower thinks I should let her go and start another. It's my first grow and now she's actually growing. Anyway I'll let experience tell me what's best. Your thoughts??

From my experience a plan that has no problem is always better yield/quality wise then one that had nuts lock outs/got to dry even

Think diminishing returns it will still bud but it won't be as good as what it could of been your friend does have a point but your far enought into veg that I would just pop some more beans flower that girl and by the time she's done Youll have another one to throw into your enclosure also try to start an lst early on ud be suprised how well an even canopy will grow

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely take that into consideration. I guess I'm being stubborn because it's my first grow. On Vice City Grower's page his plant didn't go through anything bad and it's the same seed. I've learned a lot going through what I went through with mine and just want to see it do her thing.:bigjoint:
