transplant shock HELP

box · #1 (**permalink**) 02-27-2009, 11:20 PM

I have some seedlings that i tried to start in to shallow of pots. the roots clumped at the bottom, i moved them to bigger pots and have nursed them all into seemingly good health. they are green short, and are pretty odviously stunted from transplant shock. they are growing slowly, although they are only a few inches tall (3.5-5in) they have many many (5+ pairs) small (1.5 inch) leaves, and many nodes with just a few mm between them on the stem. they have been alive for a month and a half give or take. are they worth keeping alive? the last few days they have shown significant growth (for these slow motha suckas, not for regular plants, lol)
but they are growing noticeably. should i just toss em and try again or what? i dont have any more seeds so thats why i have kept these going for so long. first time grower. all advice is appreciated. Thanks -box

They very well may recover. Give them some time and see what happens. A shot of vitamin B-1 couldn't hurt. Even though you are trying to help, be sure not to over fertilize or over water.

they'll be fine man..

just give them water and raise your lights.. also give them a 4 or 6 hour dark period if you aren't already.
they'll be good as new man..
