HELP!!! Leaves curling! Need to revive rescued plant! Have Pics.!!

Basically, one of my friends called me up and asked them to save thier 2 week old plant. i picked it up last night and completely gutted out that clay like soil it had, (i also dipped the roots in water to clean em up a lil) after i planted it with some Miracle Grow Moisture Control, and is currently under a Flouro. He had it out side behind some plants and he hasnt watered it in 3 days because of his work schedule. Any recomendations on how i can revive it or any problems that u see? heres the pics.

Seems to be stretched..

Thats one sad plant. Needs lots of care. Good lighting to start with.

they look fine, sometimes they fold up towards the light




Anything I have said was fiction and is untrue.

can i have some more detailed help? lol

also it looks like ur giving them way too much water.. dont water but about every 2 days.. and wait till the topsoil is dry and crusty on the top.

the original owner said he doesnt water it to often and he wasnt really paying to much attention to it either.

just give it good light, water and some time, it should be ok.

since its only one plant im using currently a 18inch 15 watt fluorescent light bulb that gives 925 lumens. What do you recomend when it comes to fluorescent lighting that i should use for this plant?

Okay, so at the moment they are dealing with some shock/stress from the move and soil change, but they will survive. The light you are using is fine especially since they are young. Move the light so that it is about an inch away from the tops of your seedlings. The MG soil may cause some issues with them because they are pretty young for MG and it is some fairly strong soil. Since it is the moisture control version of MG watering should be infrenquent because overwatering occurs easily. MG often has too much nutes baked into the soil for a plant this young and can kill/over nute the palnts.

Is there any way that you can get some organic soil like Foxfarm or Sweet Earth? Because these soil mixes seem to work the best with younguns. If you can get another soil then give them a few days to rest and very gently transplant them into their new medium. Your babies should be fine if they could live in a more mild soil.

Hope this helps out the girls. Keep us posted. Smith
