HELP!!! Plants wiltting after transport into organic SOIL

OK Hi Guys Please HELP ME!!!:confused:

I have 8 plants I transported 2 of them yesterday to some organic soil i got from walmart. The soil is greensmix 100% organic blend 5. I add 5 cups soil for every 3 cups perlite then i watered and now they both our wilting very badly. I dont have a PH meter so im not sure on the ph. could i have over watered? to high or to low PH?

HELP I will post pics of the bag of soil i have and of the plants
when I get back from work....

most likely you just over watered if you just gave them a drink. they will recover. next time try giving them less and maybe more drainage. there going to need nutrients too i hope you got that covered.

dont wory about the ph....it all seems to turn out right...if your worried about it get ph strips

ummm, I would say that Ph is definitely something you should worry about. Not now because you plants do not seem to be showing any signs of PH problems but I would definitely recommend you get a Ph meter, not strips, for the future. Having the right water does so much good. Also, any organic soil you will get will usually need heavy ammendments because the amount of nutes it contains is usually very small and needs to be ammended. If you haven't already ammended your soil I suggest you run out and get some ammendments and use them for your next transplant (if you're doing one) or to make some teas to feed your babies.

Nothing organic would ever reach that high of numbers. Guano maxes out around 12. I suggest you check out the forums here and read as much as you can about organically growing.

If it is all possible, try going to a local gardening store, nursery, or hydroponics store and they will have a better selection of organic products.

Organics has lower NPK values than chemical fertilizers, always. I believe this is better because it is harder to burn your plants and plants do better, IMO, when you feed them more often on smaller dosages than gorging them at one time.
