Help me help my girls!

A bit of background…started a handful of bohdi seeds as well as some f2s from syz, fast forward a few weeks I’ve got rhe females separated and the males are outside basking.

Things were fine, until recently I overwatered, then noticed once their health was declining I saw my light was not set to turn off but set to “1” instead so they got about 4 days worth of 24hr lighting when they came from 18/6.

They’ve been on 2 days of actual 18/6 and I think see some improvements. I will say that the first day after the corrected light situation, the plants were in clear solo cups and I swear I saw new roots growth after their first dark period in a few days. So I am hopeful and they don’t seem as droopy and seem to have a little more color back to them.

They’ve been since transplanted into 1gal pots with resued BAS 3.0 from my previous run. They were transplanted and watered with some recharge yesterday. Also under a 600W led, turned down to 2 on the dial.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome! I am a sponge and you

guys are the waterhose of info. Soak me zaddy

I would just give them a day or two and I’m sure they’ll recover.

It’s that soil or coco? They look a little hungry/yellow although it could just be the camera or light. If that’s coco I would give a day or two to settle in the new lighting schedule and then bump up to half strength nutes. If its soil I haven’t got a clue sorry.

Edit* just reread your post and Googled BAS 3.0. ok so they’re in soil. Maybe the colour is from not enough sleep.

If that’s dirt they are hungry.
Not seeing nute burn.
They look thirsty but you say they were over watered so that can’t be it.
Go get some fox farm happy frog.
Put them in that.
If it’s coco I am clueless as I use soil
They look like they are super hungry.

Good luck

you air-fried them in solo cups under strong 24h light. it’s gonna be a minute.
your soil looks like it’s half perlite. keep your watering can handy…
plants are very hungry. if they don’t look better in a few days give them a (feed) drench.

Yeah I’m gonna hit them with some food next watering. Just don’t want to over water again and prolong the recovery.

They’re stressed out… It’s not a nutrient issue. Plus if you’re in BAS 3.0 its their hottest soil they have you shouldn’t need anything but water for those littles. Just maintain good watering practices and other than that leave them alone and let them recover. It’s gonna take a while.

That 3.0 is a modified Coots recipe. It’s a good soil. You said it’s been reused, which is fine, even for small plants like what you have. When new, or if the soil has been sitting a long time, the peat will go hydrophobic. I say that because you soil looks WICKED DRY, especially since you watered it just the day before.

With living soil, you don’t want it to dry down completely, as doing so will kill any microbes that were living.

If you just transplanted, i would follow the advise others have suggested and let them acclimate. If you water and immediately runs out the bottom, add some saponin like yucca or quillaja. I would personally do a foliar spray of either seaweed, aloe or both. You could probably do a TM-7 or BIG-6 foliar if nothing works.

TLDNR: I believe the soil is hydrophobic… oh yes, add microbes too if you can.

Alright friends, I stuck my finger in the soil quite deep snd it was indeed dry. Fed and watered only have dr earth pure gold 2-2-2 on hand so followed directions with that.

Hoping they recover soon, will post updates here.

It’s re-used soil from a previous run, depleted of most nutrients. When j transplanted yesterday I did a small watering with recharge just around the transplant zone

Imo , they could use more water and more light.

Agter taking the advice of the thread, it seems that plants are on their way to recovery. The triple sunshine particularly seems to have responded the fastest to the adjustments.

They need to be watered. Pots should stay moist but not waterlogged. Never let them get as dry as that picture
Good luck

Check you PPFD from lights. Less light is better.

The soil has enough nutrients already.

The leaves are clawing down. The plant can’t feed. The root hairs died from over or underwatering I’m guessing.

Try and run the temp and humidity both around 80. That ought to get them going. I’d almost replant in new soil too if you’ve added anything.

Check PH when watering.

Check your VPD

Use bigger pots the roots are damaged that’s why they look deficient.

They don’t need much. Just the correct light, nutrients, and temp… that’s it. Don’t overthink it. You screw up the roots it’ll create all kinds of deficiencies.

How were you able to sex them? They look like they’re a week old
