hey guys i just transfered three of my random bagseed plants into hempy bucket out of the aerogarden. When making these small hemp bukets out of the red cups i used superglue and epoxy to hold the screen in place. Why are the leaves white? Could it be becuase i put the water directly on the leaves when water and the light burned them, or does it look like something more serious like i put too many nutes in? Thanks!

Hmmm, not looking to good.
These little guys don't need any nutes for now. #3 and #2 pic looks like nute burn.
They also look over watered. White papery leaves drooping down is a sign of overwatering.
Lift those lights a bit and let the perlite dry out a little before you water again.
What is the PH of the water your using? How often have you been watering?
Edit: and get that water out of that tray, that's not helping.

the plant looks even worse now, even after i flushed it with distilled water...what do i do?
Stop watering. Flushing. Misting. Anything that involves water!
Let them dry out some.
What's the PH of that water you're flushing with?
Hopefully they come good.

Edit:
Oh yeh, and where are the stems?
Looks like you've buried them to deep.
Not a good combination to keep them so wet and have no visible stem. Stem rot, like you get with clones, when you keep the rock wool to wet, could be also creeping in here.
Consider it a learning experience if they don't make it.
Can you drag a bit of perlite away from the stem to check out what it looks like? Take a pic?

heres a picture of the roots, could it be becuase when i transfered the plant into the rockwool (which i ripped in half so it could find its way to the bottom easier) that the plant had a hard time grasping onto the rockwool so that mayb its roots were bare?

i.e like mayb i shouldnt have ripped the rockwool cube in half cause that way it made it hard for the plant to grasp onto something?
Sorry to see that man.
I don't think you should have used the rockwool at all.
Straight into the perlite would have been fine.
You should leave at least half that stem sticking above ground.
Rockwool was kept way to wet.
Those babies just rotted away.

so you think it was from overwatering? it never grew after i trasnfered it out of my aerogarden into the hempy bucket. also do you think thats what the white came from?
It was a combination of over watering, sandwiching the entire plant between over watered rock wool in a bed of over watered perlite.
It never grew because you suffocated the poor little bugger with the damp rock wool.
White is just the colour of watery death. I bet that pot smells like death.

Why did you transfer out of the aerogarden in the first place? Looks like it had the capabilities of growing.
