I am leaning toward over fertilization. I hope you don't have the heater blowing directly on the plants.
Looks to me like too much Nitrogen.

Were I you, I'd ditch the Superthrive from your regimin and see how the plant(s) react. You soil is pre-fertilized, and I am doubtful that at this early stage you need ammendments or additives. Especially in mega-doses. (10 drops of Superthrive per gallon is a mega-dose)
Personally...I stopped using Superthrive a few years ago with no regrets. The only place it's ever been proven effective for cannabis, is in the mind(s) of cannabis gardeners. And since nobody knows the formula, what kind of residue are you smoking when you do use it? Will it interract with other meds you are taking? Regardless, it's an overdose. On your next watering day you'll likely want to flush with properly ph'd water. (let the soil dry between waterings, feedings, flushes...)

Thanx rusty , ive been hopein you was gonna comment i heard you the best there is ,. Should i be worried at this stage about them dieing? nothing seems to be going right for me ,. would you not think it could be stress from repotting and change of heat at night? i think is called wilting ??

It might be as simple as transplant shock, but...
If noticibly worse every day, do the flush. But once you start doing things back-to-back-to-back...stress will set-in and a diagnosis get's that much tougher. (overfertilizing, transplanting, changing the ambient enviornment, overwatering...) You'll want to avoid keeping the roots saturated, so if you can, hold off till the soil is ready for more moisture.
Mind me asking who it was that told you to add regular doses of 10 drops of Superthrive in addition to your pre-ferted soil? And this was every 3 days...?
You do realize that every time you water, nutrients are being released, right...?
Weezard
01-29-2011, 09:51 PM
was i advised wrong???
Yes, yes you were.
I've done side by side tests with superthrive.
It's a scam.
There was no significant difference at any reasonable dosage.
The concentration that was recommended to you can be toxic.
Looks like you were handed a fnord.:(
My advice?
First.
Patience. "Fix" one thing at a time, then wait to see if it's fixed.
And B.
Cease with the snake oil and listen to Rusty.:cool:
Aloha,

You do realize that every time you water, nutrients are being released, right...?Seems a bit warm in there. Try misting them and cover them with some type of plastic dome. Almost like they have transpired. Kinda like sweating all the moisture out of the leaf. That will make them droop. The yellowing is normal due to the plant using it's nitrogen reserve. That comes from no ferts at the moment. Mix you some Superthrive in a gallon jug. Put 10 drops with a dropper,in the water shake it up and water. That will help with stressing.Would'nt hurt to use some Pro-Tekt by Dyna Grow.

Thnx Rustsy, I will give a couple of day's if no change then i'll have no choice but to flush , and then hope everything will be ok , . The bigger leaves seem to be fine tho? , it's mainly all the new growth that have hooked,. Is the temps good , i have had 50% say its no problem and the other 50 say no its not , so i dnt know where i reall stand , in the day its mainly 80-83 rh 33% -5+ and during the night , 60-70 depending on weather outside rh 42% -5+,. And my ph going in is 6.7 coming out 5.7 , is this ok , ??

SuperThrive is a damn lie. Don't buy it or use it people. Do a little research first! If you want to do something along the lines of what SuperThrive claims to do then try a good kelp / seaweed / fish emulsion feed that you can put in the soil and/or spray on the foliage.

GaGrown is normally a solid gardener that you can trust to give good responses. Although 1 drop per gallon is 'normal' (if you use that 'snake-oil' stuff in the first place) I can't imagine him recommending 10 drops per gallon on purpose. I can't even imagine using that mega-dosage as a stand-alone nutrient.
Hopefully it was a typo. (perhaps he typed 10 instead of 1)
Try and keep day/night temps to within 15 to 20 degrees. Beyond that and you risk stressing them. Having said that, my summer temps often top 100 (inside my outdoor flowering shed) and can drop as low as 70 at night. Speaking of which...how long till summer...?
Old leaves are old news. But technically...your new growth is about to be the old growth. In other words...if your plants are on the mend, the next weeks growth will be the new growth, while your present new growth will be old. (comparitively) The new growth you see now will show the signs of stress till the day they die, but hopefully next weeks growth will stabilize and be fine. Have patience, but let us know if anything else happens. Preferably before it's too late.
Occationally I'll give my babies in the growth stage a 'mercy' spray to bump the humidity levels up, but it's not something I'd ever want use a humidifier or a humidity dome to alter. Hot and humid is a good enviornment to promote mold, algae and root rot issues.
During flowering cycle I aim for the lowest possible humidity level. Where I live (southwest desert) this means between 10% and 20% ambient humidity. (except during the monsoons) But the moisture in the pots after watering and feeding gives me an 'in the growroom' humidity level of about 40-50% maximum.

Hi rusty ! , i just checked on them and they look worse !! , they look shriveld and brittle and 1 leaf has chunks missing out of the side !!
Rusty Trichome
01-30-2011, 04:55 PM
Yeah. Soil looks dry enough to handle a good flush. At least a 1:1 ratio, but a 2:1 ratio would be better. (two times the pot's volume of properly ph'd water) If it's a 1 gallon pot, slowly run 2 gallons of properly ph'd water through it, one quart at a time. I add a quart, wait one minute, add a quart, wait...till done. Make sure your catch tray doesn't overflow all over the floor. Move any electrical cords. (or do the flush in a bathtub)
Don't expect miracles overnight, as nothing good ever happens overnight. :thumbsup:
Also, I do a maintenance flush every 1st of the month to flush-out all the built-up nutrients and salts. If you don't water to runoff, you should do the same. The stuff will build-up and can hit the plants like a ton of bricks.

Maybe it could be the heat in the tent? It's been going up n down , mainly because the weather out side has been ! and it's been 84c all day today , so i just put a extractor fan up in the loft and i attached a length of 4" ducting to the back of it and ran directly into the tent !! ,, ...

Let them heal, and next week look at the new growth. You have done all you can do at this point, unless you want to plant some 'just in case' back-ups.
Impatient gardeners cost themselves in effort, yield and quality. Try pretending you are a newbie, and keep it simple. Once you learn how to properly care for the ladies, THEN start looking into ways to supercharge your garden. You have pre-fertilized soil, water a ph test kit, and light. That is about all you need till it's time for flowering, when you'll want to start giving them some bloom nutrients. (start looking into it now though)

Its been going on since they have been in pot's two weeks now ! , i think we can rule out fresh air ,i have a extractor fan constantly feeding fresh air in to the tent at a large rate ! , the rh has been 64% with the lights on , but only since the i flushed them , before i did it was 25-35 ,. but it was still drooping like that b4 hand anways , But it only happens towards the end of the light session !!

Is your fan blowing air into the tent, or exhausting it out?
It is way better to run the fan as an exhaust and have a passive intake.

Hi Tikiroom, I have a 4" rihno carbon filter and fan for the exhaust , And a astractor fan outside with 4" ducking attached to it running directly into the tent ,so should be enough fresh air!

One last fan question. Do you leave the exhaust fan on during lights out?

Yes mate , i only leave the exhaust fan on all the time , everything else i turn off! I've got a felling the light is drying them out , maybe 600watts it to much ???

Well that's the only guess I had. (Had something similar happen to me and leaving exhaust on cured it.)
Best of luck to ya. :hippy:

Ok, you're getting fresh air. But do you have a circulation fan on 'em? If not, there will be 'dead spots' of stagnant air.
I'm just going to throw a few things out there and see what sticks-out with your answers...
There has to be a reason for this, but since you've OD'd em...this might just be a temporary step in it's healing process.
If you keep the soil oversaturated for a couple of days, the leaves can't transpire enough moisture compared to how much the roots are uptaking. After the droopiness, the yellowing and stunting starts. Keep your eyes open. I know you've been adjusting and flushing and such, but how long since the soil was allowed dry-out a bit?
Just to rule out the obvious...
How often are you watering?
When do you water?
How much water do you add?
What size pot?
Do you spray anything on them, or have you sprayed anything that would either overhydrate the foliage, or clog the stoma's which will prevent transpiration? (Stoma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoma)
And finally...a real long-shot. What brand of tent, where did you get it, and when did you get it? Just curious, because of the vinyl outgassing problems the past few years with some tents. But I'm pretty sure this problem has different indicators. (severe yellowing and neckrosis I believe, but am not 100% certain) There's a thread or two here somewhere regarding the issue.

Just to rule out the obvious...
How often are you watering?......in two weeks their had 3 waters 1 flush
When do you water?..... when lights are on
How much water do you add? ..... water until there is a run off
What size pot?....... 14ltr

Should be fine. Leave 'em be and let the soil dry. ;)
I know it's difficult getting advise that was less than accurate in your situation, and that it likely set you back a bit. But there is no way for you to accelerate the recovery process beyond what we've covered already. There is no miracle cure, watching them 24/7 won't help, and 'tinkering' with 'em is counter-productive. Perhaps instead of tinkering with 'em, you could read more.
Ten years ago this was a daily thing in most cannabis forums... "someone told me this" or "that guy said this was ok...and now my plants are dead." I know this is no consolation, but it could be worse...
Anyway, keep on keepin' on.
Good luck. :thumbsup:

If it's coming out 6.2 you shouldn't be too far off. That said, one of the most important things to get right is pH. Check the H2O going in (after adding any supplements) and coming out. And like RT said, leave them alone now and let them do their thing.
