ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S WRONG?

[stifnek]

So sorry people, having a panic! My little baby has been going great in the 6ins pot under the light until......I just transplanted it today, into a 3 gallon pot with a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom, and compost mixed 30% perlite the rest. Watered it with it's first 'feed'. A concentrated multi purpose liquid feed 7-7-7. I checked it a minute ago, (4 hours after transplanting) and it's all curled up on the left. You'll see. Leaves below are drooping down too! AAAHHHH!!

Can someone have a look and let me know whats occuring?
I'd REALLY appreciate some guidance.

Shock of being transplanted ? I don't know if I would have fed it so quickly either how strong of feed did you give it full dose ? Half Dose ?

that happened to one of my plants when i transplanted to...same leave to...itll stay like that for a while evtually when the leave grows out itll fix itself..

You have sent your plant into to some slight shock.

You never put your plant through 2 different kinds of shock in one go. If you transplant, you wait a week or so to let the plant recover from the move, THEN you feed. You transplanted it and fed it for it's first time, all at the same time.

Next time, transplant then wait a week, then feed. or, start feeding before you transplant it.

If the leaves start yellowing and browning at the tips within the week or so, you have overfed and you will need to flush. Hopefully you won't need to, but this is the most common mistake new growers make.

Good luck.

Ahhhh. Big sigh of relief. thanks everso much guys.
Think I'll just continue watering as normal for a week or so.

Thanks again.

[Nochowderforyou]

I suggest feed only 1/2 strength once a week, and if the plant shows any slight sings of a defiancy, then you can always boost it up. Overfeeding just slows things down and really mucks things up. Just don't overdo it.

Good luck.

I don't want to disapoint you, but your growing one plant that has a 50/50 chance it will turn male. When growing from seeds its best to grow a number of seeds so the odds are in your favour, no point vegging then flowering to find its a male.

I appreciate your input you lot, many thanks. I realise what you're saying, totally understand it. But I'm just hoping this one will be ok, it's the only one I managed to organise discretely if you know what I mean and it's a grapefruit seed from femaleseeds.nl. Fingers crossed. I've heard stories of some being male in female seed bags!
Cheers!

It's still good practice, it's easier to start with and you learn more. On top of that, a mature male isn't devoid of THC, it's just low.

Sure, but its a fucking disappointment if your only plant has big balls where you had high expectations of big buds.
