Help! New Leaf Twisting

Mari420 · Apr 22, 2016

Today I changed the soil from miricle gro to ecoscraps. This morning the leaf was fine but now it's all droopy and twisted. When I transplanted it I gave it some more nutes. I just added another light and used some tin foil as a reflected. I also moved the plant to a smaller pot (solo cup) because the roots are so small What is going on?

Ditch the tin foil, creates direct beams of light that can burn a plant.. Think magnifying glass and tiny ants..

Plants prolly stressed from the move, and the added nutes im sure didn't help since miracle grow is already packed with nutes..

Water only for a week or so and see if she rebounds, re introduce nutes to her slowly when she recovers not full strength right away.

my opinion.

I just took the foil off like 10 minutes ago. It was really hot. I'm using 2 40w CFL lights and they are really hot so I moved them away some. The 2 23w lights aren't that hot but I can't find a way to get it directly on the plant so it's farther away. I put a quilt over my whole set up to keep my room from becoming all lit up, but I usually only have it up at night so I can sleep without being blinded by the lights. I might just try to get some black duct tape or something and put it around the gaps of the doors. Tonight/tomorrow I'm going to start plant a new one. It's been germinating for awhile now.

Even worse. Looks like over watered and heat stress. Maybe over fed too. I want to flush it out but I'm worried it'll drown. I've been having many problems with this plant so today I'm just starting over. Hopefully the next plant won't look like this one when it's 7-8 weeks old. My plan is to plant the seed. When it sprouts Im going to give it some nutes and then just water it. It will be going on 18-6 Just like the plant Now. Hopefully 126w will work for 2 plants.

Dont feed it anything, wait till its quite dry to pick up and then try feeding straight water. I dont think it needs nutes on its first feed in new shoes. The roots will go looking for them anyway
