Let me get right to it. My plant is about 1 and a half months old and after transplant and giving them a tiny bit of nutes the leaves started to droop and I noticed some browning in some of the leaf tips (some not all and minor)
I also noticed that half way up the main shoot the stem is starting to turn purplish red that extends to some of the branches to the leaf but the purple stops at the leaf. the leaf still looks healthy green. Also the leafs that are growing from the main shoot are droopy as well (is this normal?) The leafs are dry to the touch almost crispy, but I know that they have been watered properly. (I have this thing that measures moisture.) Lastly they are in MG soil that specializes in moisture controll. I need some help Please. I love my babies and I want them to be ok.

More Pics. I also heard that you can not flush MG soil becuase if it is nute burn flushing mg soil will only release more nutes. Advice needed. thanks.

I used Mg soil with time release in my first grow and flushed it a few times. Yes you can flush it out. Just remember when using Mg soil, chances are real good you may not need any nutes at all for the first 2 months. I used flowering nutes 2 months after transplant and burned my plant.
 
will this plant be ok. what do you guys think. and when should I flush if needed. I just transplanted 2 days ago. I think she is just recovering from the stress of the transplant and I just gave her nutes yesterday. Thanks godspeed I will not use any more nutes on her till she gets older.
 
Be careful with adding nutes in mg soil best to let it dry up before you flush it again as you know its got time released moisture controlled ferts already in it so flushing whilst wet will only increase your probs.
Brown tips are from adding nutes to mg soil,not a good idea to do that for at least 6 weeks i would say:blsmoke:
 
Thanks nat moon. I know that now. I added 7 drops of nutes to 1 gallon of water and it fuckin burnt my baby. I will throw that gallon away. Thanks. What do you think about the other problems. Drooping, purplish stems leading to the leafs. Is this normal from the stress?

Its probably nute burn,incorrect soil ph and the cold.
You need to maintain a warm temp during lights off.
If you know you live a bad water area invest in a water checking kit with ph metre.
I don't bother with this as i live in a soft water area so i cant help you with advice on this matter other than i know it is necessary depending on the area you live ins water quality.
The purple could also be caused by stress or lack of oxygen to the root systems:blsmoke:
 
They are growing in the laundry room. the temp is always ranging from 75-80 f. The ph of the water is 6.5 the ph of the soil is high at around 7.5. I have been trying to lower the ph in the soil slowly by just watering with ph'ed water with some vinegar. I have home made co2 in there 2 bottles and i have a fan blowing on the 24/7. I kept them on a 24/7 light cycle becuase by the time I bought a timer they were too old and I didn't want a Hermie. So Temp isn't a problem. mybe the ph of the soil. What do you think. below are some pics of the set up.

If my stems are turning purple due to lack of oxygen. how do i fix that problem

Oxygenate your water and squeeze the sides of your pot gently on a daily basis to loosen the soil and cause very small rips in fine root material which then branch of and form bigger and newer root systems:blsmoke:
 
The burn on the leaves are not too bad. does anyone know when and if I should flush. Should I be flushing on a regular basis.

Just don't feed it any more nutes for a couple of weeks at the least and water normally after you've flushed it through once after the medium has dried out.
Be careful in adding any nutes at any stage with mg soil add a 1/4 strength solution to start and see how it goes.
I wouldn't recommend even using that much for the first 6 weeks in mg soil:blsmoke:
