I just took a look at the girls and I noticed this.

What is very strange is that the plant was 100% A ok 24 hours ago.
We transplanted the plant from a 2L pot to a 5 gallon pot yesterday. Into a soil mix that several other plants have. The other plants are doing very good.

The problem only affects the middle growth area. The old fan leafs are unaffected as well as the new growth.

The one interesting thing I did to this plant wasâ?¦ I mixed up some rooting hormone is pHâ??ed water and fed the two plants I repotted last night.

Theory 1:
This is a calcium Def.
Calcium is involved in building root walls. So this plant was on the verg of a Ca Def. and I forced it to grow a bunch of roots in the last 24 hours and it started eating itâ??s self.
-I donâ??t think itâ??s Ca

2â??

K def.
It looks more like a K def, but K is a mobile Nute. So it would be affecting the bottom of the plant. So I guess itâ??s not K

My plan:
-Run some pHed water though the soil and find the soil pH.
-Give the plant some light nutes as this cannot be a burn.

Thoughs?

i would say more a ph problem if the soil wasnt mixed really good, id start there anyhow.

i'll keep that in mind,

Also notice the curling of the leaf blades. And the droop the entire plant has.

ok Some good news The problem as far as I can see hasn't progressed over night.

I think its a def from rapid root growth so i gave her 150ml of nutes mixed with 100mL of water. a nice light feeding.

I attached a picture of the plant the night I transplanted.
This picture was taken about 40 hour ago,
And the pictures in the first post were taken 12 hours ago

no change since then

thoughts?

transplant shock, it should get better in a day or two...

hope so, never had that b4. then again i've never had this strain b4, it's BC big bang (big bud X dynamite)

I dont think it's a soil problem because another plant was transplanted into the same soil and is doing very well

I would like to read about transplant shock if you know any sites that are good.

thanks

i can't find a pic, but that's how my sage mom looked when i repotted her (accidently ripped off some roots :() i'm hoping you see a grand improvement in a day or two...

Ya she's doing well. Grown two sets of leafs since the transplant 3 days ago. I find my plants don't stall with a transplant but grow faster right after.

I usually transplant at night and the next day they've often grown an inch or two. I've just got some kinky plants who like it a little rough

thanks for the help
