Hi,

I recently transplanted a 3 week old plant I started from seed into a bubble bucket. After a couple of days the leaves are really drooping and the new growth leaves are dry and clawed.

The roots have not grown down into the water yet. I filled the water level a little higher so it was touching the net basket and the hydroton at the bottom. I have been circulating some water out of the bucket and into the net pod to try to feed it and keep it moist.

I am running a 400w MH about 2.5 feet away from the plant with a temperature of about 78 - 80 degrees with constant ventilation in my closet grow box. PH is 5.7.

I am currently just using the aerogarden nutes that came with it. I still have one plant in the aerogarden and it is doing really well. I plan to get GH Flora series with the lucas formula for the next time I flush.

Should I just wait it out and see if the plant perks back up? The roots will eventually find the water below? It it heat stress maybe I should back the light up a bit? Lower the temps?

Temp, knock it down a touch, like 70 75 , night 60 - 65.

After a transplant, they will take a week, to get back in gear. Have you tested the runoff, 7 should be OK, no higher.

Try that.

Runoff being the current PH?

Ya, and you know where the runoff is. That's where you will find, the true Ph balance.
