Are those your veg and bloom nutes?? I would use the 3-2-3 for this feed, but in the future you want something that favors N less (but still present) and P - K more when flowering...Uncle Ben says that something like 1-3-2 is ideal.

Looks like a nitrogen deficiency. When switching to bloom nutes a nitrogen deficiency usually will occur. Bloom nutes do not contain high levels of nitrogen like grow nutes do. Therfore plants use their reserves starting withe the bottom leaves. Which is why its yellow at the bottom and working its way up. Get some nitrogen to ur plants and u will be fine....
Right on. Some Fish Emulsion(1 tablespoon or so)per feeding for 2 or 3 weeks would help them finish strong......

So I think I found the problem last night.

I transplanted to a 7 litre pot, when I removed it from its current pot the coco disintegrated........zero new root growth in the 7 days it had been in the pot. Root ball is the same as when transplanted. The other plant that was transplanted on the same day has a nice fat root ball twice the size of the skunk.

If I feed it a root stimulator will it recover?

If you had transplanted into a vigger pot 7 dys ago and there has been no new root growth then its not root bound is it??

The transplant has shocked the roots nothin to do with roots bein choked up. Try some superthrive or ghe bio roots and it may trigger more growth

Ordered the hesi root complex, should be here tomorrow. Fingers crossed she will start to improve once I start this.

Man, this is what killed the bubblegum I started at the same time as this skunk......died after the first transplant.

You live and learn I suppose.

Hey quick question...when you transplanted, did you make sure to thoroughly water the soil that you were planting into before placing you lady in there? And after that, did you make sure to thoroughly water again? Not doing so can result in the symptoms you're describing...

I mixed the coco up fresh so it's pretty wet, put the plant in and then water until run off. I let the plants dry out before the actual transplant.

Does temp effect anything? I'm growing in the shed and with the crappy weather we've had so far this year the workspace doesn't get above 17c during the night. I'm guessing the water stored in the shed is colder than that and the coco does feel pretty cold when I'm mixing.

when you go from grow to flower you must keep using grow as well as bloom nutes , that way you dont stress the plant too much and it lets the plant stop using N at its own pace, instead of forcing it .. just my opinion mind....:shock:
switching from grow to bloom nutes wont stress nothing,you can use bloom nutes in veg and flower,theres very little difference.

yes ideally you want the water to be room temp,so slightly on the warm side.

Cold water will mess up your Ph a lot....and not good for the roots. I wish I could give you more advice than that but I don't know too much about coco and don't want to tell you the wrong thing!

No worries, I appreciate all the advice you've given. Hopefully she'll pick up once I get the root complex in her.....

Aye...and I still think she also has N deficiency so make sure to fert her in less than a week's time. Try watering with tepid water!

when using hesi nutes and coco medium...............5ml of tnt til week 2 or 3 of flower and bring in a small amount of pk from wk 3 .........use 1 teaspoon of epsom per gallon of feed, start this while still in veg through flower........ph 5.5-5.8...........i use 6.5-10 litre pots

Cheers Del, think I realised it was transplant shock a bit too late, only got some HESI Root Complex into her yesterday and shes not looking good.......hasnt grown much, buds looks OK (Creamy pistils everywhere) but 80 % of the leaves are yellow now.

Never mind, THC Bomb is looking pretty sweet, been in flower about a week id say, and have 3 seedlings that are around 3 weeks old and are starting to take off.

Def going to give the Skunk another go, think she would have been a beauty until I messed up.

Ill get it eventually.

if you have already pushed some nice ph'd tnt through her then leave her dry out a bit before you feed again.plenty of runoff will help.......ive never experienced transplant shock, cannabis can stand a lot of abuse and still bounce back..
