can you remember overwatering them and letting them dry out before?

I use a few sacrificial chilli seeds. I germinate them in the topsoil and let them come up. they always burn !
the tips always singed by the nutes in the soil... this stops by precious MJ plant getting stunted . let them grow until they have burnt then go green, this is your green light to pull em and put your cannabis seed in.

So I have transplanted and gave them a 10% strong solution of food, and looks like they are bouncing back for the moment. The drooping leaves have responded and are now reaching up. I think the small cups before transplanting was part of the problem, my mix is fairly strong on the vermiculite side, and may hold water better than I think, I will monitor and know I won't need to water for a few days maybe even a week now, as they are in 2.5 gallon pots and look puny at the moment. Thanks again for all the help, I'm sure I will be back with more questions even though I hope and strive so that I won't

I think it's a ph issue. If you don't have a meter, get one. If you have meter, make sure it is calibrated. If you haven't fed them ANYTHING and there is nothing in your potting mix, that is your problem!

There is so much misinformation that gets spread about when to feed. If you are in a inert medium, like coco, promix, rockwool, anything without nutrients-you need to add fertilizer almost immediately. My first grow I listened to peoples advice on forums and didn't feed them for almost two weeks and that is exactly what happens. It starts to cannabilize itself. So if you haven't fed it anything, do so. Start low and slow.

If you don't have a ec/tds meter, GET ONE! If you can't then start at 1/8strength what the brand recommends for the first couple days, then increase to 1/4 strength by the second week. If they start responding well then you can try to push them further. You won't be able to accurately judge you feedings without the meter, but many people grow without one. I don't.

Sorry I didn't read to the end of the thread, I see you feed them at 10% and transplanted them. I think those were both good decisions.

Thanks I was always an outdoor guy and never had any issues like this. I started in pots outdoors and would then transplant to the ground. I am determined to figure out the indoor side as I'm sick of rippers.

Replant as you are doing and continue. Im sure they will be fine. Add SuperThrive to your water. Just one drop a gal

After the transplant they are rebounding nicely and faster than I thought. I also gave them that the feeding and seems they really liked that, so they are now on too a feeding schedule, that will be increased as they get bigger. Thanks for the help getting me out of the woods. I think my initial problem was with the cup size, and root amounts with the amount of vermiculite I am using. I would water and that night the cups were dry and very light. I have for sure learned a little already with much more to go I'm sure.

26 days into veg. They really rebounded but now I'm having problems with some clones that are yellowing quick. I will post a pic next post. So how do the seedlings look now, much better if you ask me.

Here are the pics of my clones I got. I used the same soil, same water, nutes are same but at 2 times as strong for the clones vs seedlings. I really don't want to loose them any thing I can do to help.

Any ideas I'm thinking PH issue and nute lock out.

Is it just the bottom leaves you're having a problem with? They might be touching your medium and getting wet? If so I wouldn't worry - just pull them off.

ah - yeah that doesn't look good. Have you checked the leaf diagnosis chart on here? Also - look into off gassing from PVC plastic, altho it looks more like nute burn.

so after doing a test I found that my nutes were dropping my PH to 4.8 from an 8. So that is why the clones got hit hard. The seeds the PH was closer as it was half strength. Now I have adjusted my PH for my water once I got a meter and have watered with a 6.3 PH water, I watered one till I got alot of runoff water and tested that and came up with 5.9. Is that to low and should I panic or just up my water PH a little till it balances out. Thanks to all so far you have all helped me with saving my medicine.

Keep watering with 6.5, soil will go stable in time. Trim the ladies and watch the new growth and it should be fine. Good to hear your ladies pulled through

Thanks Man that was my thoughts to, would it hurt to go to 6.7 for a couple waterings to balance a little quicker and stop the problem

Well they look much better now. Thank goodness for PH meter I am saved.
