I know them plastic containers take forever to dry back thats why i ask and on the board above i see run off numbers is that on that plant 5.9 ph is low needs to be 6.5 ph

Hopefully they start taking nutes from the soil soon, they gettin a bit hungry looking. They should take off soon.

That was the first reading moments after transplanting. The PH should have stabilized in the last couple days but won’t know till I can water again

That very well could have come from the rockwool and retained water In it. Rockwool is a form of hydro and would be 5.6-6.0 most likely . A couple waterings should see the soil ph coming thru.

Day 7: Installed the new AC Infinity AI controller. Thing is super sweet. You just enter a preferred VPD and it programs everything. Selling the 69 pro on eBay for cheap if anyone wants it.

Day 8:

Not sure how things are going. Only 1 looks like it’s doing super well, but the tips are turning. Another has leaves starting to curl up. Another looks extremely hungry, and the last is ok but still droopy.

They are still moist, but is there any emergency feeding I should do? Or should I just chill?

Have you checked runoff? I swear they look hungry, but FFOF should have plenty of nutes for 4-6 weeks. Unless it’s too hot. Do you know how to do a slurry or check runoff? The twisty leaves on one could be ph out of line, runoff will tell us that too. Is there a chance you have watered them too often, they should be dried out in soil before watering.

I’ve only watered once when I transplanted. I’m assuming the roots are just having trouble getting out of the rockwool.

Is there a way to check runoff without watering?

A slurry, but you could only check the media around the rockwool, if the roots aren’t well out of the rockwool, they probably are hungry as there’s no feed in the rockwool. Next watering, give them a light feed of around 300 ppm or .6 EC, applied right around the stem. That will give them a bit to eat as the nutes will absorb in the rockwool. Once the roots get out into the soil, they will uptake nutes fine, but I’d like to see you check runoff just to make sure ph is ok. I can tell you, they were probably getting around 5.6 in the rockwool, soil needs 6.5, so may take the roots getting out into the soil to get going.

Slurry was 6.5, 0.7 Ec.

Gave the worst one a little feed at 300ppm, 6.5. Only 8 oz of water.

Cool, now let it dry back some and we’ll see if it greens up. Won’t take but a few days to tell.
