Mah girl is sick!

[FenderSuper]

Meet Sam.What's wrong with Sam? She's a clone from an unknown source. Unknown strain. My wife did not do a good job of tending her (she brought it from a friend but again, no details) She is looking ill, but I'm too much of a newb to really tell. I think I did right, getting her into good soil, good, ph-tested water (48 hours in the bucket, so no chlorine) a pot large enough to hold her until my soil is cooked and the clones go into smartpots. This girl is the only clone I have, to date. When I transplanted, I removed as much of the rockwool as I could without harming the roots. I also snipped off dead leaves. The white on the soil is diatomaceous earth, to mangle critters.

To answer the following mandatory questions:

She's outdoors
Just started watering, probably every two days until she's stabilized. Wife over-watered.
Soil is straight Patio Plus but again, just started. Unknown soil before transplanting...had perlite in it
Young vegetative state.

She's a lot better than yesterday, more horizontal to the leaves. Photo was taken an hour ago. They're even more horizontal, now.

So, Bones, what's wrong with her?

Well doc, I agree with your diagnosis. If only plants could talk

Another issue may be water PH, which turned out to be high - between 7 and 8. The soil is much too moist yet, to add any more water, but I have some PH-balanced water; white vinegar brings it right down, three tablespoons in four gallons of PH8 water.

Welcome and happy growing. Can you take a closer pic of the top? Water ph should be around 6.0. Soil looks fine. She needs some calmag definitely her stem is all kinds of purple. This is most commonly a magnesium problem and the calcium helps with nute uptake. It kind of looks like it's flowering in the pic that's why I was asking for closer one. Thanks

She prematurely flowered before I got my grimy, dirty mitts on her. I'll get some cal mag. What would be the dose on a plant that small?

It looked like it was flowering. Read the bottle and use about 1/4 of what they recommend. Starting out slow with one that was not well before never hurts. As the purple goes away up the mix some gently until full strength. .

Was this an outdoor grow, from start up until now?
If you can control the hours of light you could re-veg her. That would take longer but you'd get a much bigger plant in the end.
