| | | i could be wrong, but im thinking pH
Im pretty sure this is something related to pH but wanted to get some more opinions before i start trying to play doctor.
this is my 1 of 4 bagseed plants that are all starting to look like this. yesterday it was just these 2 bottom leaves, now i come home today and the rest of the plant is drooping. and i know theyre not over or underwatered.
i dont know the current pH cuz i didnt bother to check since its only bagseed (i keep tabs on the nicer plants). i was going to start checking pH with the next watering but i guess its too late for that. |

How big a pot is that in? (2 gal, 4 gal?)
I would get 3 times the pot-size in water, PH it all to 6.6 (safe number) and then leach that plant, well. If it is a 4 gal pot, then you need 12 gal of clean, Ph'd water.
Be sure to check the PH (and the PPM if you have the tools) of the run-off water. There is a tutorial (of sorts) HERE.
Then, once it was ready to eat again, I would Ph every feeding.

they were JUST transplanted last night into 2 gal pots. i thought they were becoming rootbound (which they were just about anyway) since i saw the bottom leaves yellowing so i transplanted them. but like i said i came home today and things are worse.
they havent been fed yet and since they were just transplanted its clean soil from a new bag (Pro-mix)

Even though that soil is fresh, I'm still thinking a good flushing with PH'd water, let her dry out to where she needs water again and see how she is. It is either PH or Nute burn based on what I am seeing in the FAQ charts. A flush is a good place to start, but sadely is labor intensive.
Also, is the water chlorene free?

gave em all a good flush with pH balanced water last night. checked em this morning and theyre looking good again.
they should be good for almost a week with the water. after that i think ill try giving them a light feeding and take it from there.
thanks for the help guys and good luck with your own!

Cool! Good to hear they are happier now after a good bath.
That is a solution that can help fix many issues, and usualy the first thing I do with a soil plant that is not behaving well...
