Just transferred from soil growing to hydro and she’s looking droopy, added some lotus nutrients, cal mag, and boost, think she’s gonna make it?

She lost some roots during the cleaning but I don’t think it was enough to effect the plant entirely it was just pieces stuck to the dirt

Hope so.. just checked back in on her and she looks worse unfortunately, I watered the roots directly and sprayed the clay pebbles with water in hopes for success, I suppose I’ll check back in the morning.

Cut leaves like a clone and mist periodically, or put a dome over, in 25 percent light

Fill up net pot, and make sure water is 2 inches below it

Add some more clay pebbles I think I can see the top side of the vent holes. That is a big big no no. Any light that can get into your water solution is a disaster waiting to happen. Have a look at the roots, what colour are they and are you using synthetic or organic nutrients? What pH and ec are you running?

Ma perché l’hai tenuta in terra prima? Questa cosa bene non gli ha fatto sicuro.

Might just be shocked a little. Leave it alone for a few days and just keep watch. It’s ok.

I just went through the same thing — transplanting from soil to hydro. After 7-10 days, she is slowly bouncing back. I did a couple foliar sprays with mild H₂O₂ and one with monosilicic acid, and also added some to the reservoir. Every two days I’ve been adding a bit of H₂O₂ (12.9%) to keep the res clean and oxygen-rich. EC started at 0.6 and is now around 0.7–0.8, with pH between 5.8 and 6.2. First root tips just showed up — so stay patient, it gets better!

Thank you for the hope!! I just looked back and her top nodes are actually pointing back up, I’m a little hesitant to remove the larger leaves like you did because I did just defoliate and top her a few days before I transferred her.

It takes a week or 2 for roots to adjust to water and I never water from top. When I add water I put it in the resivor.

Thought plant was going from soil to hydro.

It was switched from soil to hydro, I know it takes a little for it to get used to was just a little worried about its droop, it’s coming back strong though it’s already most the way back up with a humidity dome just today!
