I would guess the "wilting" is from the transplanting shock. They'll be fine.

I don't think you can go from soil to hydro. Soil has bacteria that will infect the hydro system. I saw a post where Zandor explained it better. If they come back then you might have a chance. Change water alot to start with.

Thank's alot Turtle ,and Loc,But Zandor if your out there please shed some advice.

You should take cuttings from your best plants and grow those in the hydro or just use the hydro kit for flowering

[Garden Knowm]

big bud.... plants have different kinds of roots.... there are soil roots and there are hydro roots.. and there are even aeroponic roots... (these are not the official names)

anyway... plants that are switched from soil to hydro or vice versa are severly challenged because they don't have the proper roots to uptake water and nutrients..

if you have to switch again in the future,... try using a wilt spray on your plants... this will give them a fighting chance..

if you look at the roots closley, you will see what I am talking about..

i love you

and FYI... Big Bud.. and don't tell anybody this.....
Turtle is Zandor's mentaly retarded alter ego!!!

keep that between us.. ok

i love ou

Thank's Easy Roller .Should i chunk these plant's because they dont seem to be recovering

[Easy Roller]

Like "Garden 'The Body' Knowm" state the plant has a root type ..or roots which have adjusted to a particular environment...so suddenly changing the environment and pH will shock a plant..PERHAPS to the point of no return!


How long have they been in there[ since xmas day?] Are they truly dead?.....They may bounce back but the shock may 'stunt' any future growth....I'd start again with clones and flower them...take clones and start them in rockwool and flower them under HPS 2-3 weeks after in the hydro...what type of system is it?

[BigBudDaddy08]

Thanks alot Knowm i posted befor i read your thread sorry.And just now seeing the big mistake i made

[Zandor]

Big daddy I think they have told you what you need to know.

You may want to try to clone them now just in case.
