{Insert Title Here} (Clever)

Obvious fail at topic title.

 

Anyway. Here are some pictures of my dying plants. Here's basically the issue. I have Pete's professional fertilizer/nutes as my nutrients which sucks I know (24-8-16) and I have no pH reader on hand. Yes that sucks. I'll give you some pictures. I think I might just be posting this topic for comments. I'm just pretty mad at my self that I transplanted three beautiful out of a great situation into an unprepared situation that I think is killing them. Oh yeah I finally got my 400W HPS/MH and it's up too. I even maintain the temperature well.

Where is a quick place to get nutrients offline or is there any store that would carry them locally? Also where can I get my hands on a pH reader locally (digital), or am I stuck ordering that offline as well? (Looks like I did come up with some questions) As always guys thank you so much for your input, you have no idea how much help this website has been.

How long will they be O.K. with just water. I can't get proper nutes for about a week. Also what kind of feeding times do you run?

[ijustdontcare]

with mine i only feed twice a day for 15 minutes i have the same system as u drip feed and drain im using 27 litre pots,. also are u just running a plug into the pot? if so id scrap that and run a ring feeder i had a prob with mine cause i run a plug straight into the pot and the water was drowning the roots, leaves sagged etc i changed to a ring within a few days was perfect..

What if i used like a bloom booster for flowers? I have a dissolvable nutrient with a high Phosphorus content. Edited October 24, 2008 by bmwswim5

are they still in veg or are u flowering them? at the moment i wouldn`t be using any fert or i would run minimal amount id say no for the booster. At the moment id just flush them for a day or two and just remix some nutes at the min amount and use that see if they come good n also how offen are u watering them

[ijustdontcare]

oh also it could still be shock aswell cause i noticed u said u broke some roots when transplanting, but from the looks of it everything u have is setup seems good temps, etc so if they dont come good id put it down to the water and nutes so see what happens also id wait to see if anyone else has ideas on this aswell Edited October 24, 2008 by ijustdontcare

I guess I will try with straight water for a couple of days. I have them on drippers now and will only water them twice a day. How long can a shock from transplanting last? I have been in veg for a while under the fluros but I figured I would try to veg under the MH for a week or so and then start on the HPS and flowering. Thanks for the help I was getting real close to scrapping this whole grow and waiting until I am truly prepared.

no there still alright far from dead.. it might be something as simple as just over watering them for all u know, id just run low nutes and keep it going under a mh plants i think it will come good. Ill keep my fingers crossed
