secretmicrogrow420 · Apr 13, 2023

Hey guys in 04/03/2023 i purchased 2 pinnacle clones from purple city genetics

On 04/04/2023 i transplanted them into recipe 420 soil

These next pictures were taken on 04/13/2023
My plant looks like its slowly dying i dont know what too do

should i start feeding her fertilizer?

Shes so small with no roots so im scared too feed her fertilizer but at this point i dont know what too do

is this happening because her roots are in rockwool and im giving her only water? I have not given her any fertilizer i mean 0 so i know this isnt nutrient burn is she gonna die?

please help

Direct sunlight without hardening off first
Move to a shady spot for a week
Light feed is fine but avoid overwatering as roots establish themselves

They definitely need to be fed. And as said above get them to some weaker light for a while.

Thank you yes i was thinking maybe i was over watering her

and i will keep her in the shade for the next week right know its raining so i have her under a 240watt led light
Thank you for your input i hope she bounces back
Also im thinking about buying some cal mag it has nitrogen cal and mag so i was thinking since shes in soil a little cal mag might help

Thank you right know its raining so shes under a 240watt led light the next time i water her i will mix up a batch of fertilizer i was also thinking about buying cal mag because it has nitrogen calcium and magnesium and just watering her with that since shes allready in soil.

Better off with 1/4 strength feed of nutrients and hold off on the cal mag until they’re taking up nutrients well.

I'd also advise you to be very careful taking plants in and outside. It's a very easy way to bring pests indoors where they're harder to fight. You need to be keeping up with pest inspections very carefully if you plan on doing it. Less light and I'm betting it will bounce back quickly with the recommendations provided above as far as lightly feeding it. Once they're rooted well clones can be fed the same thing as full size vegging plants.

Hey firstcav thank you for your input i did notice some little bugs flying around inside of my closet last night thats probably from taking them outside also i hope my plant bounces back im scared of watering it with too much ferts because its in soil but im also scared of watering with no ferts cuz its got that rockwool cube and thats were the roots are right? Im in a bit of a pickle next time i buy a clone with rockwool ima plant it in coco coir i bet i wouldnt have had these issues if it was in coco

I used to use rockwool plugs for cloning and I put them in soil with no issues. The roots will come out of the rockwool and down into the soil quickly as long as you provide good soil moisture. I'm betting they just didn't get acclimatized the the sun before they got blasted by direct sunlight. It's a good idea to place them out in the shade for the first few days to a week so they can harden off to the tougher conditions of outdoor life. I put mine right by the trunk of a big tree in the yard on the leeward side of the wind for a few days and then start giving them small amounts of exposure to the sun in the late afternoon.
