ok well the back story on this can be long ill try to make it short....


got well numbers dont matter so lets just say enough 2-3ft plants just changign over houses... in the orginal they are beautiful some of the healthiest plants ive ever grown.... Just got the new house setup so i brought over 3/4 of the plants. Now this is all new new place new water etc.. etc...

Ok the first day i was dumb and left the heat on 60 for 12 hours... little cold... but shoudl be ok... first day i trasplanted 10 from 2-3gal buckets to 5 gal buckets.... 5 of the 10 trasplanted show a much yellowish color with the leafes clawed and rigid looking instead of flush and green one has already died another one is looking like it might it actually is drying out the fan leaves and they are getting crispy.

The viens are dark green and the rest of the leaf is a yellowish green and the new growth is very yellow in the middle this is all in a 3-4 day peroid everything i left at the other house is beautiful...


now all the other ones are find (so far) all got the same treatment all trasported the same... given same new water at 6.2ph strait water for the last 2 days..... now they are sitting under hps under 24 hour light (just going to do it for couple days then was switching to 12/12) maybe thats a issue??/


also thought just trasplant shock along with me trimming them up at the same time? im confused i got pictures on my phone but dont know how to get them on comp w/o my Msd adapter card... or paying 50.cent per picture to send..... any help will be appreciated....

You running soilless with a pH that low? Low temps + acid soil + lots of water makes for unhappy plants. I would also cut WAY back on your feed until you get the temps back up again. They can't uptake food or water correctly at low temps and will start acting pissy.

Get your pH up closer to 6.8, stabilize temps, and hold back on the water/feed.

it was only that cold for 12 hours of the first day temps are at a steady 72 degrees. I was always told for soil ph should be around 6.0 to 6.4 i do understand that promix is not soil and its peat moss... but i thought they performed the same when it comes to that....

these plants are 1 and 1/2 months old running at 6.2ph and were absolutely beautiful before i brought them over... maybe you can explain might just be what i was taught is wrong... i been all hydro before this....

thanks for any help SA i do appreciate it

is it possible that the dang floor is too cold? i know alot of people wont put them on a basement floor for this reason should i try to lift them ?

Getting them up off the floor is a very good plan. Used shipping pallets are great for this, and you can put a fan to blow under the plants and keep a nice amount of air flow going.

The pH range for soil centers at 6.7; the pH range for soilless centers around 6.4. Personally I treat promix like soil and feed soil nutes (Canna Terra) at around 6.9, not really checking though, since I re-pot every 4 weeks in promix, and it tends to sort itself out nicely. When I have fed lower, I find that the promix sours and becomes acidic very quickly.
