what did I do to them?

[kupt]

I transplated these girls yesterday and gave them a shot of 20/20/20. mixed as per the label and woke up with them looking like this:

also the larger leaves had tiny little white dots on them.

Did I kill them?

Cant tell from the pics, they look descent, I would recommend using half strength first and slowly go up in ppm intill you notice overfeeding or nute burn and back off a tad and go from there. It would help if we knew the type of ferts you used, sounds like a general fert possibly mirical grow or similar, definitely go with half strength atleast till they grow up a bit.

I thought purple stems was a sign of bad news?

 

[burns1n209]

Not necessarily, but also doesnt mean its dead, It can revive with proper care. Some purple plants have purple stems.

I think he's talking about the old Nursery Business stand by, Peter's 20-20-20. Flush, then follow Burn1's instructions. If you've got white dots, check closely for mites. Good luck. -granger

ok, I tossed that 20/20/20 and am on the hunt for maxibloom. I think next time I'm going to go with the KISS method and coco (I believe that's the system).

On a side note: I can't believe How hooked I am on this. I personally don't smoke that often (only when my back flares up really bad). I HATE popping perks and T3's. My family doctor had me on all sorts of muscle relaxers, pain pills, etc. I was waking up and popping 4-5 pills a day just to get started. Not anymore, it's all I can think about! I am being retrained because of my injury and while in school all I can think about are my babies. I come home and just watch. I'll be watching TV or studying and say.... Ok one more time, then just stare at them. Do I have problems?

 

[burns1n209]

No problems, perfectly normal, very addicting. Sounds like your on the right track maxibloom in coco is damn near fool proff. Good luck and happy growing

I think no problems too ... actually seems perfectly normal because it's the growing that's addictive not cannabis!

don't give up on soil ... just stop looking at it as if it's merely the stuff you stand yr plant up in!

in soil, NEVER EVER feed straight after transplant. most soils are amended. that is, farmers have all the good soil and the manufacturer has added ferts so's things will grow in his muck. so you often get mineral imbalances when you add ferts too soon.

and if you use brand name ferts make sure they have added 'trace elements'.

oh yeah ... and have you checked the pH of yr soil? 6.5 is wot yr looking for. soil test kits at hardware store.

if yr plants go wobbly in the next few days just water them ...
