hellp ooh boy what did i do

my buddy uses extra dolomite as a top layer to help keep his PH balanced, it also breaks down over time into cal or mg i forget which one, but if you getting PH issues in that soil it is either too hot or hasn't cooked or your nutrients PH are too high or you can have a bacteria imbalance even that can make spikes in PH a lot of things can cause it to be honest the Dolomite is just simple and non very invasive way to effect PH, or so i was led to believe
\
ii guess run a google search dolomite and soil PH

Breaks down to both. Dolomite is a double carbonate composed of Calcium and Magnesium. However some dolomite deposits contain more Calcium Carbonate proportionally than Magnesium.
 
i use Canna CoCo, HP PRO MIX 50/50 mix for veg, firtst trasnfer gets all HP promix and i do well

heres plant that is 2 month veg and is in a ten gallon under a thousand Berry white

Well do you guys think from the pics theyll come threw... i have never messed any of my crop up this bad before really wish i didnt try hydro. today has now been 24 hrs in.soil the new hroth looks healthy n green.. but the older leaves still are dry and dead shoul i just pull them off or leave them to try amd heal
 
When they were in the hyrdo the medium was rockwool. when i noticed how bad they looks i planted them in.soil in hopes i can heal them with my knowledge with soil

You had them in rockwool and put them into soil? How did you do this? Rockwool cubes, slabs or crutons? Rockwool cubes and slabs do not uptake water very well through a medium like soil. What seems to happen if you plant a slab into soil the ph stratifies soil goes one direction and the rock goes the other causing major ph swings and then big issues.

I have to ask why? It is easier to flush the rockwool completely out and re-balance then what you have done. Next time try flushing really well then add 1/2 strength ph balanced nutes, your plants will never know they had a problem.

Good luck
 
Thy were only in rockwool cubes durin the time they were used for hydro like i said i tryed saving them by planting them in soil. they are not planted in soil with the rockwool they are planted in the soil jus roots stem and plant NO rockwool... baiscly i felt like i got to deep and i stoped the hydro and went to a soil medium and setupp.. i think the 9.1 ph.when.in.hydro caused a nute lockout.. so i planted them in soil put soil ph to 6.8. And flushed with bushdoc
!
 
This sounds like the issue. between the lockout you had before the transplant and the stress of the transplant is the reason for such distress. Keep the light a little ways away for now and try to let them recover before pounding the light to them again. Next time if you ever think you are having a problem(in rock) flush the shit out of the cube with balanced water then a light dose of nutes. within 24-36 hrs your girls will perk right back up.

A couple of good meters will pay for themselves on the first crop.

Hope they are O.K.

Clip completely dead leaves..try getting humidity up as roots may not be keeping up with the plant. A simple baggie works..remove after a couple days so they don't get too used to it. Wean off the baggie with holes or gradually moving it up.

Never had a issue with mold but im guessin it is. white lookin fluffy stuff what should i do get some air goin in there?
 
Bro hate to tell you this but that thing is fucked, your flogging a dead horse.

Also you thought that lime is applied on the leaves of plant so go back and do some more research.
 
I got it confused with a paste ive heard of that is applied to leaves ( idk bout cannabis ) then i realized what you wrote and new whatcha mean. im gonna give em a week no difference ima just throw em out no biggie...

Thank you for your time and advice man
 
Just let them beg and get established into the soil and they will be fine...
I started out trying hydro, but had to switch to soil after a few failed grows, and one super failed grow..Anyway after just a few days in soil they started looking like plants again, and mine were way way worse than yours look..so just let them be, and don't water til the pot gets feather light.
