Plants are drooping

[noobiebean]

Hi! Its been a couple of days since transplanting, and the plants are seeming to recover. I have been watering with aloe vera and seaweed a couple of days now. In a couple of days i'll have a fish protein fertilizer to cover the growing period before the biotabs kick in.

On the pictures you can see the plants are starting to perk back up, especially the Gorilla Zkittelz is recovering wel from topping.

Plants are taking off! fed them twice with fish-mix and hooked them up to the autopot reservoir, from now on it's only water!

Week 2 of flower, plants are doing amazing!
Hooked on the biotabs, they are super easy!

Hi everybody,

I am currently growing 2 photoperiod plants, my medium is coco with some perlite.
The first 2 feedings i used synthetic nutrients because i still had some left, but now I want to switch to a complete organic regiment.
I flushed the two plants with water ph'ed to 6.2, and that is when the plants started sagging. I'm thinking this was because i overwatered, but now even when the pots are dry, they are still drooping. I sprayed a compost tea (compost, worm castings, liquid seaweed and molasses) on them this morning, as well as on the top medium of the soil. (dilluted)
I was thinking the plants might not like the incremental ph changes, but i don't see how else i can make this work.
The plants were germinated in rockwool, then transplanted into coco.
I also topped the plants a couple of days ago which definitely didn't help with the stress.

The plan is to transplant them in a week or 2 into the autopots, with coco, perlite, worm castings, some mycorrhiza, and 2 biotabs.
I have some organic boosters for the plants health such as alg-a-mic (liquid seaweed) and acti vera (aloe vera based supplement.)
The strains are blue gelato 41 and gorilla zkittelz by barneys farm.


Thank you so much!

Be careful feeding them so often you can easily stunt them with over feeds, your p.h. is close to where it should be i would go down to 5.8 rain is 5.6 but all the way up to 6.0 you should be fine and as low as 5.5 ph.

I just transplanted the two plants into the autopots.
I used coco, perlite, worm castings, some potting soil and some mycorrhiza. I also pushed in 2 biotabs per pot.
I think the issue might have been that the plant was rootbound. on the pictures you can see the roots circle around!
I dusted the transplant with some mycorrhiza and watered with liquid seaweed. (PH 6.5)
Let's hope they bounce back!

Wow... those a very healthy for being as pact together as they are

Plants were harvested last week. Very happy with this grow. Unlike what many people told me at the beginning of this thread, I was able to grow with organic dry amendments in coco coir. The autopots are a dream, set it and forget it. All I had to do was watch them grow and pull some leaves every once in a while!

Good effort mate. Not many people manage to do the organic Coco thing. Generally falls to shit pretty quickly but you've just proved that it can indeed be done. Kudos bud. Tag me in your next grow and I'll follow along. Big Coco fan and wouldn't mind giving your way a go
