Never Recovered after Transplant

Transplanted over a week ago to 3 gallon pots with coco mixed with 25% perlite. They were in dixie cups for the first two and a half weeks and looked excellent until transplant.
New growth is curling now and bright yellow and older leaves seem to be losing color. It's hard to tell with the low quality pics unfortunately.

Feed ph'd 5.9-6.0. I didn't feed upon transplant and then realized that coco has no nutrients so I gave them a light feeding two days ago and that seemed to somewaht improve some of my plants. I have 9 total but 4 are in trouble

They were drooping initially after the transplant but some have since recovered. Others as you can see, seem to be getting paler and have been stunted.

Its day 29 since popping and normally they would be twice this size atleast...


PICS 3 & 4 are pre transplant...

next time give a splash of super thrive to counter the shock, my guess is you damaged the roots and or hairs while transplanting...

also chill out man, take a hit and chill, no need to fret over people not responding to your thread- thats just silly my man....

but superthrive on transplants and be as gentle as possible- dont even touch your roots, ever..

Superthrive is good if you have it if not. make sure to wait until your plant is almost root bound. then roll the cup between your hands so you can loosen the root mass. Then transplant into the new pot by covering the stem with dirt all the way to the first node. or to the second if the first one is puny. Then make sure your soil is wet enough by watering it right after you transplant. you could also spray some olivias hormone on the new soil to give it a boost

Yes but dont invest in "miracle" liquids until your learn the principles or your just setting yourself up for failure next plant problem you have. pay attention to watering and bury that stem down

I did give them superthrive like three days ago, It was over a week and a half and they are not recovering and I was told 10 days ago to chill out they will recover...

how much are you feeding them, they look kind of hungry. whats the pH of your run off? i dont use coco so i cant be too much help but, it looks as if you have a deficiency possibly due to a lock out. what are you feeding with?

nevermind... just seen someone else mentioned super-thrive.

that's always worked for me man.. I've used it every time I transplant (4 years worth) and I've had a 95% success rate using it.

Maybe you gave it too much Super-Thrive..?? Shits really potent man...

do you know how much you actually used? Did you measure how much you were putting in?

also, how much water did you use?

No I gave about two drops a gallon which I'm sure is fine. I guess time will tell. I'm feeding tommorow or tonight so I will make sure I get alot of runoff to try and equilibrate the ph in the medium

I agree with hoag, it's a watering issue...underwatering, which'll make them starve, and underfeeding, which'll obviously,lol make them do the same. Slow root development,(from underwatering) combined with starvation = slow growing plants.

Ok , the sickest one, seems pretty waterlogged, I don't know if I can save it. The rest ahave started recovering since the last feeding so perhaps it is underfeeding, I really thought it was overwatered for a long tie which is why I was watering every 3-4 days...
