this here are grape ape plants, harvested about two weeks ago. thy were out doors, and i tried to transplant them into some 3g buckets. dug up as much root as i could, washed the old drit off and soaked roots for 15min in a five gallon bucket of water with super thrive. mixed some mircale grow soil i had with some black gold coco mix, threw some bat gano.....
.... threw them under a new t5 for about three days then switched to a 600w mh for about 5 days and boom. 3 dyeing plants. my best guess is too much light to soon. kind of dryed out feeling, and the color looks ugly compared to the pics in the begging.
Probably all the washing and soaking of the roots business that killed them off. Sucks man.
Obviously to much shock and stress..
generally bringing a plant indoor will stress it beyond your control ..
My guess is washing the roots did them in, roots are very sensitive, what you did is probably on the scale of a lung transplant.
I would have kept the root ball in original dirt and placed them in 5 gallon buckets then put new soil around the root ball. Water only untill new growth has started then begin adding nutes with high P in weak solution gradually increasing untill you have good vegitve growth then go to a high nitrogen nute.
I also think you used way too many nutes....you used superthrive, miracle grow(which has nutes in it already) and bat guano....that's quite a heavy dose especially after such a crazy transplant
Overferting an already stressed plant. Just the superthrive and PLAIN unferted soil would have been the way to go.
You had WAY to much ferts and your plant was more stressed than a hooker in church...YOu should of went half n half using the MG and Regular Plain Dirt As Stinky suggested, Soaking for 15mins in water could have shocked the plants enough...SO your plant was shocked, stressed, and over ferted!! Plus you were growing outdoors and tried to bring it in doors, and thats what probably set it off, but you were better off leaving it outdoors to finish up....I feel your pain but we learn from mistakes, trust me, i did..... Good Luck on the next grow and don't give up
+1 to SuperThrive only after high stress root work.
If those plants were UFC fighters they would have tapped out.
