Shock?!?

I have two plants in flowing now. The one in question just got transplanted from it tub to a 5 gal bucket to conserve space in the grow room. The day after the transplant the plant's leaves started to dull in spots and dry up as you can see in the pictures. My first thought was nutrients so we flushed and replaced and readjusted the pH to 5.5ish. I waited a day but there were no signs of her getting healthier so I took down the reflector in the grow room because I thought maybe she was getting too much light. She is under a 600 hps but a couple more days and she still looks like she wants to kill herself. My guess now is shock but it's been 5 days since the move and she is still tettering that line. Can you help?NCM_0183.jpgNCM_0185.jpgNCM_0187.jpg

how close are they to the light?
whats the temperature surrounding the plant?
whats the temperature of the water? and when you flush did you match the temperature to the original?
5.5 seems low, 5.8 should be the at 5.5 you locked out Phosphorus...
correct your ph back to 5.8

Was thinking the same thing, if you're in soil 5.5ph is way too low, for hydro you should be at 5.8.
 
Light is about a foot above tops and temp stays between 80-85 during day and 70-75 at night. Damn, I think you are right about the water temp. The new water temp did not match the old, it was at least 20 degrees off on the colder side. I'm gonna look into that. Any idea how long it may take the plant to readjust?

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully it'll be a one time mistake.

No its not the water temp its crap soil poor transplanting technique.
sereniy9590 is using water buckets, so no soil there. get your water temp to like 22C-24C try not to get to high or you will start to kill the roots.

correct your ph to 5.8
