Overwatered seedlings/Reperk before H2O?

  1. I overwatered my seedlings it's my 3rd grow I do it every time because I get used to how quick they drink up water in flower so when I start my next grow I always water too much and too frequent forgetting it needs to be really dry before watering next. So my question is the ones I overwatered in soil have been droopy for maybe 3-4 days I transplanted them into dry soil and they are not as deathly droopy but I'm still not happy witht how they look lower leaves yellowing a little etc, So do I wait until they perk back up before watering for sure? Will they perk back up before they need water? They are drying out a bit from the bigger pot transplant into dry soil.
     
  2. Also do I remove the yellow leaves or let fall off on their own

  3. If In solo cups like 18 oz how many oz of wster should it get as seedlings....3 oz...4 oz?
     
  4. Transplanted to fox farm ocean forest In the 2 gallons thinking the new dry soil would help.
     
  5. One more thing....should I have sprayed the new soil right around where the root ball was? I left dry because they were already overwatered.
     
  6. understand plants need as much air as water always, always water by weight

    lift THINK: to water or not

    droopy due to lack of air, and or transplant shock if you suspect the latter, keep them in low light until recovered

    lower leaves yellow? - feed them
     
  7. keep the leaves use them as a control to recovery
     
  8. something went wrong sorry about that I have reported it
     
  9. please add 25% perlite FFOF is hot stuff the will suffer

    good luck
     
  10. Considering I already moved them from the solo cups should I risk agitating them again by removing the root ball and mixing perilite then putting back in fabric pot with new mix?
     
  11. Is there a chance they might be ok in the ocean forest .....I read people saying they had no issues with it even with seedlings
     
  12. potup is exactly that, simply invert the pot the falls out and insert into a prepped (60%ffof and 40%perlite)pot leave in the dark over night to avoid any transplant shock, extra perlite to remove any doubts

    good luck
     
  13. Update....so I didn't move the plants out of the soil again it would have been too much transplanting in just a couple days so I just pulled away some damp soil from the root ball to form a trench around it for drying purposes........got up this AM and 2 out of 4 are perked right back up and the other 2 are halfway there. They will all make it for sure. Will also leave in the ocean forest as it's not doing any harm to them.
     
  14. Glad I didn't listen to any of this advice. Plants all bounced back and are doing great in the ocean forest no nute burn whatsoever
