First grow - all my plants are dying

Hi guys,

So I planted 4 plants, and 3 of them are now dead. The 4th seemed fine, but now its starting to display the same symptoms. Any idea whats wrong? See picture below.

Edit: I should add that all 4 plants were replanted, because the stem was too tall - some suggested it could be stress from that replanting, but the first 3 and the 4th in particular has developed several new leaves since, so i dont see how it could be stress.

U shouldn't have replanted. U got bad advice. My guess is you damaged the roots in the move. If you keep watering it may come back.

looks like heat stress or something

Yeah i fear the replanting was a bad idea as well. Have 3 planted and a fourth on the way if this one dies. No way i will replant this time.

Doubt its heat stress, the room is 24-26 degrees (75-79)

Did you have a smooth transplant? You know kept roots intact, undamaged and whatnot. Also how long ago was the transplant.

I just moved one seedling to a new pot as it was growing alongside another plant by mistake, must have dropped it in somehow, as i moved the dirt away and pulled the plant i heard a small snap and about 2mm of the root had broken at the bottom, I still planted it with plenty water and light and it continues to grow today, I hope your plant continues to grow like mine just make sure you have plenty water and if using cfl put the light 1-3 inches away from the plant, good luck

I thought the transplant went smooth, didnt take more than a few seconds per plant.

I cant set teh light 1-3 inces from the plants. The temperature is, as mentioned, 75-79 degrees, it will rise if i put the light closer.

If the pH in my water was too high, could that display the symptoms shown in the picture.

Thank you for your answers.

Not sure what lights your running. Im assuming CFL. You had mentioned about the temps and not getting closer... If thats the case ad a fan, or redirect your running fan so it goes across your light, thatll keep temps in check-ish. But thats not your problem right now. Id leave it go for a few days, note changes and what not. I think itll swing back. Ive had two rougher looking plants come back after about 1.5 - 2 weeks of shock.

Yes i am running a CFL lamp, and a HPS should i ever hit the flowering stage. I already have a fan pulling air out of the tent, and a fan blowing on the plants.
I hope it will bounce back, but the other 3 plants with the same symptons died, i fear this one will too - but i will leave it alone and hope for the best.

At this point thats really all you can do. Just hope its looking that way because its using ALL its resources creating a nice root structure.

Here to hoping it bounces back and takes off!!
