After transplant

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by flightlessfeather, Jan 26, 2015.

  1. Container: 3.5-4 gal
    Medium: coco coir
    Nutrients: general hydroponics
    Lights: 7, 5500k 23w cfl and 5, 23w cfl 2700k at 19,000 lumens
    Temp: 75
    Airflow is created by a small fan constantly blowing on the plant

    Woke up to this! Lower, older leaves turning yellow and dying. Younger leaves beginning to turn yellow at tips and edges. Oldest leaves are already dead still attached to the stem. This is 2 days after a transplant. I have watered only once yesterday because she was already partly dry before transplant. I have also foliar fed ph balanced water to help keep up the humidity.

    Help me save her please!!

    Note: I think i transplanted her wrong. . I seperated the coco from roots then sat roots inside bigger pot with coco.

  2. If you separated the roots from the medium before transplant, you've removed their structure and probably damaged some.  The sudden symptoms that look a bit like nute or pH burn are probably a result of problems happening with the roots.  Could be you've damaged some roots that have caused certain parts of the plant to dry up because it can't support them, and/or that the plant is using energy from some leaves to maintain itself and rebuild the root system.
     
    Unless you're telling us you shook out all of the coco medium and placed a lacey tangle of roots into a hole and covered them, it's probably best to leave it be and continue to give it pH balanced nutes and monitor it.  It's fresh neutral medium, there's not much to do but flush with pH balanced nutes.
    If you did shake out the roots pretty thoroughly, probably still best to leave it where it is than risk more damage, but more likely that it will be seriously damaged.
