First time posting for help andI could really use it! day 3 after transplant. leafs have continued to droop and url down into a claw. some burning on edges has appeared and some small holes have also burned through fan leaves. ph is 5.9 and stays between 5.7 and 6.2 there are 8 BC Big Bud clones that are well rooted into rockwool and transplanted into hydroton in net cups DWC style 2 days ago. water level is one centimeter below net cups. ppm was at 450 but i know that is too high so I lowered it to 360. Should I go lower for fresh clones? 400 watt led is 31in above net cups and on 20 on 4 off light schedule. using heavy 16 nutrients full line besides foliar spray. Any help is much appreciated and thank you in advance for any contributions. :ugeek:

You want the pH under 6.0, I aim for 5.8 so that could be part of it. If the roots aren't coming out of the bottom of the net pots you can either raise the water level a bit or top feed a few times per day until they do. Once the roots are in the nutrients they can probably take more food. Make sure that your buckets aren't getting too warm either...

Thank you SME I will keep ph below 6 and raise water level. Also looking into a water chiller.

I kept the ph at 5.8 and finally got 7/8 of them too root out but the burning continued and after replacing water they got really bad. Please help!
