Clone Transplant Help

speakheavy said:

Ok guys, I have 8 clones that have successfully rooted in my DIY aeroponic bucket things, but it seems after transplant a few leaves on them are yellowing and even falling off/dying.

I transplanted them into small foam cups with a coco/vermiculite 50 50 mix, and they're positioned the same distance from light as they were when inside the DIY buckets so I know they're getting the same amount of light that caused them to root. Any idea what might be going on? I've seen signs of new growth in a few but its veryyyy slow right now, and I watered through the cups with runoff the first day they were transplanted and since then the mix has been moist since so I've just left them to sit until it dries out a bit. I also spray the leaves with water every now and again but I don't make it a crazy routine, just anything to help

Should I be worried?

Edit: I transplanted 4 more into cups similar to the ones in photos shown below, making the total number of clones 12

I never use vermiculite for cannabis. Perilite provides better drainage . You got a drain in the bottoms of those cups?

Did you presoak the coco with nutrient solution before transplanting? Are you watering with plain water of nutes? Coco has nothing in it. Those clones are small but if they have roots they're going to need food.

It's not uncommon to lose a couple leaves on clones in the beginning.

you gotta ease up on the cat litter it holds cat piss

hence it can hold toxic levels of nutes

as the water vapes out or is consumed

just perlite is the 'Mans Choice'

after all nobody get just a little pregnant

good luck
