Thread: DWC transplant problem

Hey guys, I recently transplanted (4) 2-3 week old plants into hydroton 5 gallon DWCs. All from seed. Very good seed.

The 4th I transplanted a bit later then the rest.

The problem... The 4th is getting some crispy leaves and all are drooping. Its about 4 inches tall with about 2 real sets of leaves (8 total). Now, I did make a makeshift netpot (4" meant for soil) and I drilled about 30 holes in addition to the 10 prepunched in the bottom.

I am afraid to foilair the leaves because i want this Lady to root. Water level is high enough, nutes are general hydroponics grow and 2/3 strength. Lighting 300 HPS about 1.5-2ft and 120 of full spectrum floros.


BTW, the other 3 are exploding...will probably flower this or next week.

From your description, it sounds like the nutrient solution is to concentrated for this plant. Try a 1/3 or 25% strength sloution.
