HELP! Overwatered at 2 weeks flower

[Guest]

can I save this one?.....if so how?

its a MTF x BH (clone) that I have been flowering for 2 weeks.

ffof soil w/ aprox 33% perlite
ff big bloom
ff tiger bloom
ff marine quisine

all @ recommended, and (tried and true doses by me)

this is the sick "overwatered" one (glad its the only one)
this pic is the most embarassing picture I have EVER taken.




and here is its healthy sister (clone from the same mom, but wasnt overwatered)





How can I save it? the soil has been drying for the past 2 days, and I aerated/raked it real good w/ a fork, to help get some oxygen in there.

will it start to perk up when the soil dries out?...or is there something else I need to do?

thanks for the help guys

Hey yukon, I think you did pretty much all there is to do besides waiting for her to recover...Just make sure to be carefull with the fork, you dont want to damage the roots or anything...Keep the soil loose and aerated and you should see some signs of recovery in about a week, give or take a few days...Just my $.02...Good Luck

ya just wait it out nothing you can do now. theres going to be some stress but as long as you dont do it again every thing should be fine.

Man i hope u guys are right, and I hope it works out...a farmer losing 33% of his crop isn't real good ....especially on such a small/precise scale.

did you guys actually click on the pic to really see how bad it is?...I mean really... have any of u seen this bad of a problem be overcome?

I would also look at you're fert's. If you're soil is holding to many ppm.It can actually pull the water right out of you're plants through osmosis..An Area of higher concentration pulls from an area of lower concentration..You might actually need to Flush you're soil. That plant looks wilted more than Overwaterd.I really don't see how you could be over-watering at this stage of the game.

I . That plant looks wilted more than Overwaterd.I really don't see how you could be over-watering at this stage of the game.

that was my thought at first, but keep in mind that the plant is extremely LST'd....I pulled it down like i usually do by about 50% a week before flower...so your seeing 2 weeks of extreme LST ....followed by a nice recovery for a minute, followed by the problem.


here is a clone from the same mom taken the same time in the same exact grow conditions except for the overwater ....the overwatered clone was a much slower starter though.

 

[Skunkenstein]

Well,you know you're plants better than anyone..maybe you're some how cutting off flow or you snapped something in a main branch..with all that hard-core bondage you Do..Just givin you a ribbing...The only time I've ever experienced over-watering was with the Infamous Black Domina very early in veg. and her leaves liked to curl downward like a taco shell..and Oh what a Bitch she was..in every aspect.Good LUCK.!!!

yukon the same thing happend to me. i think i watered one of my plants twice (i musta been high). well anyways i was thinking that it was a goner but the next day it perked right back up after the soil dryed out. there was damage on a bunch of leafs but it wasnt to bad.

Looks like too much N as well. Check ph too if you haven't. Unless you badly overwatered, plants will not go from healthy to that so quickly.

I didnt "badly overwater" just once, but I may have been giving this one more than it needed on a regular basis for the past several waterings. It was def. the slowest clone to root, and had a much smaller rootball when I transplanted, so I'm guessing that may have contributed to the problem since I water it like I do the others.

The other 2 are in the exact same environment w/ the exact same feed, from the exact same mom.

I dont have a way to measure Ph or N levels....I never have checked, and I have never had a problem or reason to.

If it dies it will be a first, and i may have to look into some testing technology in the future, but I'm pretty sure It's my fault.

were on day 3 now of this one is still looking like death, so we'll see if she comes around.

thanks for the advice guys...I'll keep y posted.

 

[Guest]

it almost looks like its just really really hot.whats the temps in there?

 

[Guest]

Looks like root rot.......
Try some h2o2 treatments.
That will also give more o2 for the plant.

 

[Guest]

I keep the temps just under 80 F...if it gets any warmer than that then i kill one of my (3) 150 watt hps lights...the cab is always open and ventilated during lights on.

the others in there are fine, and its been the same scenario for Many Many grows....

maybe this one just didnt have the root system the others did to have the same water...still gonna dry it out and see.

what are "h2o2" treatments "legit user"

It looks underwaterd. But if you say its over then im sure your right. Would just ad water after the pot dries out. See how it does but i see others have suggested somethingelse to do so Good Luck Mate.

Hey Yukon , sorry to see your lady this way.. Ive over water too before. ive noticed ites easier to do when I dont putt any rocks in the bottom of the pots. Much Much better drain in case its water logged if thers some rocks in the bottom like 2 inches worth in a pot like that. But it def looks over waterd not under like above. under waterd the leavers would be a little crinkly..this sounds crazy ...shes already pretty starving for air, her roots.. so i would re-pot in dry soil , with the rocks in the bottom. ...good luck..

is the plants leafs in anyway soggy like they have been damaged by the water? I think if this occurs it is generally irreversible and the buts will rot on the plant. but it looks like its just suupperr soaked. let us know if she makes out ok

 

[Guest]

H202= hydrogen peroxide.
1 tsp per gall.

Take a rod or long screw driver and areate the pot by poking holes all the way to the bottom.
This will kill some roots but wont phase them and they will rebound much quicker.
I would punch at least 10-15 holes.
Don't water till the pot feels reallllly light.
Good luch bro.

It's funny but I can't seem to overwater mine now. They might droop a tad, but then I use a metal scewer {for shiss-ka-bobs} like Legit_User suggested and make air tunnels down to the bottom. That always perks them up.

Yukon, you might lose that bottom branch for sure.........wilted three days, it resembles my mother plant branches dying one by one...old age.....total wilt is what baffles me.............drooping, but wilting from overwatering like that is extreme.......I bet there is something else going on here.....my two cents bro.....peace

 

[Guest]

im gonna go stab the soil for a second in that pot....like i already have.

oh-well I'm pretty sure its done....this a first for me....I have never lost a plant beyond a tiny seedling or a bad cutting ....and this was a clone in flower....I'm humbled for the moment.

it may come around tho....i wont quit just yet.

Howdy man...

Was reading through your thread & thought I'd toss my hat in the ring & see if I could lend a hand..........cuz I just had a thought. You said you did LST on these girls. I've had an occasion to partially break a branch when doing lst & I tried to save it by splinting it. It worked somewhat........but, part of the branch didn't survive. All the leaves on the bad part drooped & looked just like like your plant. So, I was wondering if maybe you've got something pinched off. Try looking at the worst drooping part & follow it back to the main stem..........maybe a large branch has crimped on ya.

Good luck with your lady!
