Thought I would throw this frequent problem I have out there and see if I can get any suggestions.
I veg in UC Pro Tubs for about two weeks before I transplant the plants into a 13 Gallon UC system.Plants take right off in the Pro Tubs! Ive been vegging like this for 2 years now!But evey time I Transplant the plants,they quit uptaking nutrients for 7 to 14 days. And they start to take nutrients from the leaves and show signs of deficiencies. I am trying to figure out how to shorten this transplant shock or if I am doing something that is making this happen.
In the tubs :
-I start at 50-80ppm(500 scale) by week 2 Im at 140ppm and uptaking 50ppm every day or two
-ph 5.6-6.2
-67degrees
-65-70%Humidity
-Florecent lights
-No co2
-And they grow great!
Then in say two weeks I move them into a UC12/13gal
-I drop the ppm back down to about 80ppm
-Ph stays in range
-70%humidity
-HPS lights raised all the way up and turned down to 600 watts and half of them unpluged 2400watts
-CO2 at 1100ppm (co2 is outside the room)
Might be as simple as not running the co2 for the first couple weeks after I transplant?
Any thoughts would be apreciated! Thank you!
Almost forgot , Here are some pics:
Pic#1: How the plants start looking after about 5 or 6 days after transplant
Pic #2: You can see the UC Pro Tubs at the right of the room
Pic #3: How big the roots are when I transplant (Roots stay healthy after transplant)
