So i recently transplanted some plants from 3-7 gal nc plastic pots, the medium was slightly moist but didnt feel wet enough for the plants. So i transplanted the plants and watered what i thought was a light watering. Well about half the plants are not taking the transplant well at all. They look overwatered, bottom branches sagging, start of yellowing and necrosis on the bottoms aswell and working its way up the plants a bit. I use a 2:1 ratio of Ocean Forest: Tupur coco for the medium. So my question is, is there anything i can do to save these? Debating on uprooting them and re-transplanting, but i feel like that may be some serious shock. The plants roots werent super developed either going from 3's to 7's and the ones with smaller root systems def seem more effected than the others. Was just planning on letting them dry out alot, but its been a good week since transplant and several of them are not getting better and the pots are not loosing much moisture. any help or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks yall and happy growing

FFOF goes great with 30% perlite, it allow it to drain real quick, and even the ad says it prevents nute burn and root compaction, if they havn't recovered in 24-48 hours repot with the perlite, even river sand is good ...good luck
ps consider dumping the coco, its holding too much water, now rather than later, or suffer constant nute issues later, as the coco will hold any excess nutes?

Yeah, I woulda not added in the coco either. That's your problem. I would go ahead and retransplant now. Either in straight FFOF or FFOF with perlite. I use it straight outta the bag and it's pretty much dummy proof like that
