Dying Plants After Rockwool to Neoprene Transplant

jnyce1320 · May 24, 2009

I have an aero setup for my autos. I first had them in rockwool cubes for a week but thought that the rockwool was holding to much water preventing roots to breathe so i transplanted them into the neoprene colars. Yes i also lost a few roots from stripping off the rockwool off the roots. Its been 3 days and now some of my plant leaves are curling down and stems look wrinkled and pinched from the colars on the bottom. I did add superthrive after transfer but still looks like it didnt help. Temps stay below 82 but i do have a problem keeping humidity above 38-40% even with humidifier because i have my air being exhausted contantly because of heat issues.
Should I just take this as a lost or will the plants perk back up after awhile?

I did the same thing. They stopped growing, pretty much, for about 11 days until they were piss poor looking and starting to yellow. Then I added 250PPM of nutes, against what everyone said, and within a day they were perked up and green, and within two they had doubled in size.

So, I'm going to suggest a low dose of nutes around 200PPM.

Oh, and it's more important to have a fan blowing on them and have the res cool than to keep them at that humidity. Scrap the humidifier - you don't need it to grow pot, especially aero.

Yea i think i should give them some nutes, im stoppin at the store later. Still waitin on my new hannah ph pen also, havnt been able to check ph in over a week.... If i dump the humidifier my humidity will drop to like 25%.... plants need atleast 40%

You prob shocked the crap out of emm... I would give them a low dose of nutes and try to nurse them back to health.

You dont need a humidifier. Just keep your res temps and keep your air flowing.

Ok i got my nutes and my hanna ph/temp meter came in. I opened the res. and looked at the water and theres slimy shit in there... I have no clue where its from, im going to clean out the res and put in clean water again, thats probly why my plants look so sick. Also the water temp was 76.9 and ph was 6.5 yes and i know the ph is high and should be 5.6 but not sure about the water temp. Anybody else have any input?

Yes i deff need to buy hygrozyme tommorow also, every surface water touched was slimy. I thougt my containters were dark enought but really they arent, light still penetrates thru.... another reason for the slime. Next res fill i will put heavy duty black garbage bags in the containter to help stop light penetration... also helps for quicker cleanups for not having to wash out containers.

Ok just checked on the babys this morning and i can already notice a difference some of them are perking right back up and i can tell a few wont make it. Res temp was 75.2deg and ph went up to 6.0. PPM is 370 only using liquid karma, cal-mag, superthrive and great white. Felt a little goo on the bottom of res again. Light really is getting in there so i have to find away to block off light to the roots also. I threw in a frozen half gallon carton of water in the res to keep temps down. Hoping for the best.

Use a little Supertrive that should work for the shock.

One thing is that my ppm jumped up, yesterday it was in the 370 range this morning it went up to 480, i stirred the water then it jumped to like 870!!! WTF somethin is deff growing in my rez. Ph went back up to 6.0, The frozen gallon carton of water i put in at 11 last night didnt even last till morining, water temp was 76.3 I gotta jump on this to light leakage asap.
