Also...When I transplant, I remove the plant by holding the pot sideways, and tapping on the bottom, with my hand on top of the pot, making sure the plant doesn't fall out. The plant will be resting between your middle finger and your ring finger, as you tap on the bottom. Have the other pot ready,(soil in the bottom of the new pot) have your hands washed beforehand, for a nice quick transfer to the new pot. Then place the rootball in the new pot, fill in the edges with soil, water, and you're good to go. :)
 
na it will be fine... add a tad of normal dirt to top off the cup and water good but don't over do the watering... Put it out side for a few days if you can and don't worry to much about them bottom leafs as they will die anyway.. Miracle grow does work if you know how to use it. Very powerful stuff and most of the time you want to use 1/4 the recommended dose. Also you can crush some egg shells and mix it in with your dirt. This gives your plant good source of calcium as well. Good luck sir.

thanks bro,
it actually got worse. it wasnt this bad yesterday. im freaking out.

oh btw my box has not caught fire yet. lol i picked up some new clones, ima make a new journal, check me out
that could make it worse because they drink the water as you are flushing it causing them to take in more ferts ='s further burning

i test my ph with the little 3 drop kit,i try to get it on point at 6.5

this vanilla kush is also in the MG mix. and has no burn,has not gotten yellow leaves looks preety healthy to me.it is a little lighte on the green side but has not shown signs of any burn or droopy leaves and gets the SAME EXACT watering schedule,SAME EXACT water,same room,same lights everything is the same literally.

My guess is the diesel strain dont like all the nutes in the MG soil. Vanilla kush is doing alrite. in the kush pics you can see the perlite is a orangy color, i havent put fresh soil on the top of this one.

let me add both of these i started from seed.

Make sure when adjusting you PH you don't do it more then .5 at a time or you will shock your plant.. So if its off say 1.5 you will want to bring that up .5 per day until you get to where you want it to be...

I would say that flushing will usually work. I would as a first measure stay away from just straight transplanting right away because this can compound problems. I would do the following:

1. Have I PH'd my water correctly? If yes then 2. if no then repeat 1 :)
2. Is my medium a good medium (whether it be soil or coco (if coco I highly recommend canna coco which you can plant straight into without any problems or flushing)) if yes then flush with a gallon or two of PH'd water and then let dry out well, judge whether it is getting better.
3. At this stage I'm don't believe they need any nutes yet at all. If you did nute always start with a very very weak dosage and work your way up.
4. Don't over pamper them flush flush and leave to dry out quite a bit (not completely but remember this thing is a weed and can survive some brutal abuse)
5. Don't give up! This is a golden opportunity to learn something!

Peace n love to you!

Miracle Grow is like Cocaine. It may not be so bad, to give a Rock Star a little.... but throwing a whole key on the Guns N Roses, Motley Crue etc Tour Bus is NOT a good idea.

ok so you think ima say i have perlite and i dont? lol idk wats up with some ppl on this forum.

look at all that perlite :) lol i even put a layer of perlite at the bottom for good drainage.
Look at all that algae ! Don't use clear cups ! A layer of perlite at the bottom actually retains water it does'nt help drainage . Learned that one the hard way ! And read about on a University study .

try feeding the plant with day old tap water and dont adjust the ph so its a bit high mg soil can be acidic to certain strains just try it for a week and do not over feed the plant make sure your surface is crispy dry but not to dry to cause the plant to wilt

im sure i did it properlly. i mixed 3 cups of soil with 1 cup of perlite in a gabage bag and tossed it around eally good to get a even mix. i also threw a layer at the bottom to get good drainage, then mixed my bag of the soil/perlite i made into the cup.
Right ratio wrong perlite . Use at least #3 perlite .I used #4 .I,ll swear by it ,had no problems at all and fast drainage .

umm i dont think thats algae. thats sweat from the humidity inside the cup, the soil is not compressed all around the cup and causes it to sweat. i just went and checked and its for sure swet from the humidity not algae.

Are the cups tinted green? Either way, they should be covered with something. Aluminum foil will do the trick,(for example) and the darkness will allow the roots to fill the entire cup, rather than staying away from the edges, due to the light. More roots = more nute intake = bigger, healthier plant.

^Nah, doesn't matter, as long as the light isn't shining through. Also, you might want to look into foliar feeding, it'd help you alot, in situations like this. It'll keep them fed, even if there's a problem with your medium. They'll absorb whatever they are lacking, when it isn't available to them, otherwise. :)

Wow for one you suck at picking out what MG soil to use if you do resort to using MG, should have just went to walmart or wherever and got MG moisture control potting mix and been done with it. MG perlite was a big no no too... Just get most of what you can off with out damaging the roots and replant in something more suitable. Looks like you watered it pretty heavy which released to much MG nutes, I just water very very tiny amounts more often with my seedlings in MG until they put some size on to handle the nutes.

I hate when people do crap like this then blame the soil, if you pick the appropriate type and water correctly for that type (as most MG nutes are water release) it will turn out just fine I always use MG soil and never have these problems and have outstanding results more often than not. I have some easy ryder and diesel ryder seedlings in MG right now doing just fine.

using mg only feeds them n/p.k and thats it. none of the foods or soils have any other elements we need.
what i meant by not doing the perilite right is the layer at the bottom...turns to mush and will fuk it up. adding a layer at the bottom is a good idea but use something else like lava rock or them round ball deals for it.
by thew way look up all the law suits against that company for lying ion labels../they dont know what organic is. especialy if they tell you to mix it with ground dirt. and is meant to grow tomatoes not pot. not the right levels of elements of each. and is a bad source to begin with for thier nutes.
