Hi everyone, i've been reading a lot of threads lately, but finally decided to personally ask a question dor my situation. I recently wanted to experiment with dwc and decided to take one of my mothers from soil and transplant it to dwc 5 gallon bucket. She was the bigger mother and looked beautiful and was growing quick. I'm about 7 weeks from sprout with her. I transplanted roughly about 10 days ago. She wilted at first from shock I'm assuming and stood back up the next day. The second day after her posture was back to normal with some wilted fan leaves. I thought it would cure itself back to normal after a few days, but then I noticed yellowing of fan leaves. A lot of little yellow spots. Then one leaf turned real bright yellow-green. That leaf then died. This occurred over a 3 or 4 day span. I looked up deficiencies and narrowed it down to a few. Finally I clicked on a link to root rot by accident and decided, oh well let me just read about it. I think it is root rot but it doesn't help that I am color blind so I can't tell if the roots are browning or cream colored. I can tell they are a little bit slimy. I need some serious advice as I think if its something bad Im catching it kinda early. Any thoughts/ advice/ opinions are welcomed. First real grow being serious about everything. I have been putting h2o2 in the Rez every day for the past 3 or 4 days.

She will have to develop some new roots. You should already be able to see the new ones coming in.
Keep an eye on the new growth. You may continue to see some yellowing of old leaves until it get the
new roots going good.

It's sacrificing those fan leaves until the root system can develop enough to support the plant. You won't see
much new growth up top for a while.

I think as long as everything is ph'd and you don't go into overdrive with the nutrients, as stated above by oldman60 you won't see anything up top until the roots system comes in, I am pretty sure what you are seeing on the roots it that they are adjusting from soil to hydro and you have new growth in the roots coming out of the basket and the others are the ones that are being replace by the new ones. It is adapting to it's new and shocking environment and doing well giver her a week, Peace OG.

Looks like new roots are coming in fine to me. Some zone in your water would be helpful. Go light with the nutes
until you start seeing new growth up top.

Re: Helpo! Problems with soil to dwc transplant with mother
I use fox farm big bloom, grow big hydroponic, and tiger bloom(not yet but I have it along with cha Ching) how much of grow big and big bloom should I use on her when she needs it? Before transplant she was doing great at half strength of both from directions on bottle.

This is hydro will let oldman60 answer, but I would guess not having the soil there to buffer anything I would error on more like a 1/4 strength per gallon or so depending on res size. Go slow they will respond, OG

Re: Helpo! Problems with soil to dwc transplant with mother
Ok and your sure there's no way it's a calcium, nitrogen, or anything else deficiency ?
Just let it be and she will pick herself right back up with time? And just a random question, is dwc gonna grow her bigger and faster than in soil when fully healthy again? Thanks everyone, real helpful. I have been freaking out about her past couple days. Good thing I registered to 420mag
