Reviving a dying cannabis plant involves several steps, including identifying the problem, adjusting watering practices, evaluating nutrient levels, pest and disease management, adjusting environmental conditions, pruning and trimming, providing support and TLC, and monitoring and adjusting. Nutrient deficiencies can cause cannabis plants to yellow when there is a shortage of nitrogen.
To save a dying cannabis plant, it is essential to keep it in a stress-free environment, not too hot or cold, and not too much moisture. To do this, analyze symptoms, watering schedule, feeding, and adjust fertilizers accordingly.
To revive a dying weed plant, fill the entire growing medium with water and allow about a quarter of the water to drain out. Repeat the finger test to determine the cause of the problem. If you made the same mistake as me, this will save your cannabis plants.
Before taking any action, study the symptoms closely and treat the cause, not the symptoms. Replant potted plants or remove outdoor plants and add sand or small rocks to the soil to improve drainage. Additionally, reduce the amount of watering.
In summary, identifying the problem, adjusting watering practices, evaluating nutrient levels, pest and disease management, pruning and trimming, providing support and TLC, and monitoring and adjusting are crucial steps to revive a dying cannabis plant. By following these steps, you can help your cannabis plant return to health and thrive.

What does a dying weed plant look like?
Yellowing or browning leaves indicate a marijuana plant in distress, while scent changes and visual symptoms suggest health issues and deficiencies. Immediate action on pests, mold, and pH balance is crucial for recovery. Visual symptoms, such as severe yellowing, browning, or necrosis of leaves, signal a plant’s need for help. Aromatic changes, such as a change in the plant’s natural aroma, can also indicate health issues. Trust your nose and investigate if something smells off to ensure the plant’s health.
Will my weed plant recover?
Despite the possibility of your cannabis plant dying, it’s possible to revive it with proper care and intervention. Identify the problem, such as nutrient deficiencies, overwatering, underwatering, pests, diseases, or environmental stressors, and carefully examine the plant, soil, and environmental conditions. Adjust watering practices, ensuring adequate hydration for overwatering and allowing the soil to dry out before watering again. Strike a balance to prevent both over and underwatering, and ensure the plant receives adequate hydration by watering thoroughly and consistently.
Can a dying weed plant be saved?
To save a dying cannabis plant, maintain a stress-free environment with the right temperature, humidity, light, and water levels. Prevention is better than cure, but in cannabis plants, prevention methods can double as treatments. Focus on specific plants and learn when to focus on them. Keeping weak females can waste time and space, and their susceptibility to pests and diseases may infect other plants. Growing strong plants saves time and effort, and improves yield.
Cultivating cannabis requires patience and persistence, but it doesn’t need to be too difficult. For everyday homegrowers, keeping the grow simple and straightforward can reduce stress and plant health. Keeping to growing solid, well-established cannabis varieties and not trying to grow too big with your garden is one of the best ways to prevent plants from dying.
How often should I water my weed plant?
Cannabis plants typically need watering every 2-3 days, while soil-grown plants require water at least once a day. To determine the frequency of watering, test the soil’s dryness with your finger and wait a day or two if it remains moist. As plants grow, observe the time it takes for the soil to dry between watering sessions. The frequency of watering depends on factors like plant size, growth stage, and environmental conditions like light source, humidity, and temperature. If the soil feels dry an inch deep and leaves appear droopy or slightly wilted, watering is likely. If the leaves become brittle and dry, consider increasing the frequency of watering sessions.
What does plant shock look like?
Transplant shock is a condition where plants are transplanted from one country to another, causing a sudden and severe change in the plant’s growth and development. The symptoms include wilting, leaf yellowing, leaf drop, and stunted growth. The wilting can be due to nutrient deficiency or reduced water uptake, while leaf drop is a natural defense mechanism. The plant may also exhibit slow or inhibited growth.
What does overwatering weed look like?
Overwatering cannabis plants can cause various symptoms, including wilting, yellowing leaves, edema, dropping leaves, root rot, slow growth, mold or algae growth, and poor soil aeration. Wilting occurs when the roots cannot function properly, leading to a lack of water being transported to the leaves. Yellowing leaves are often due to nutrient deficiencies caused by excess water flushing nutrients from the soil. Edema occurs when the roots absorb more water than the plant can use, causing blisters or lesions on the leaves.
Dropping leaves indicate overwatering, while root rot is a more advanced symptom with brown or black roots and a foul smell, potentially leading to plant death. Slow growth is also common due to the stressed root system’s inability to support normal development. Mold or algae growth is another sign of overwatering. To achieve the right watering balance, consider factors such as plant size, growing stage, and environmental conditions. Water until a small runoff water appears at the bottom of the pot, then stop.
What does a weed plant in shock look like?
Transplant shock in cannabis clones can manifest as leaf drooping, discoloration, or stunted growth. This is due to disrupted root function, causing the plants to struggle to absorb water. The drooping can start at the tips or edges and may spread if not addressed. Discoloration, often yellowing or browning, may spread if not addressed. If the clones don’t show expected growth after transplantation, it could be a sign of transplant shock, as the plants divert their energy to recovery. These signs indicate stress and potential damage to the plants.
How long does it take for weed plant to recover from shock?
Transplanting weed plants during the flowering stage can take up to a week for the plant to recover from the shock. It is best to do it during the vegetative stage for best results, as it takes a few days to a week for the plant to recover from the shock. The only exception is for heavily root-bound plants that need to be transplanted during flowering, which could have been avoided with an earlier transplant.
The degree of transplanting damage depends on the timing and gentleness of the transplantation. First, prepare a new larger pot with the desired planting mix. Water the plant thoroughly in its original small pot to ensure the soil and root ball stay together. Gently remove the plant from the original pot, backfill the remaining mix around the outside, and water it in. Keep in mind that the plant may droop for a few hours before bouncing back strong.
What does a weed plant need to stay alive?
Marijuana plants require rich, fertile soil, sun, and regular water, similar to tomatoes. They are not perennial in the north, so seeds must be purchased or saved annually. They prefer moderate airflow and require 3-5 gallons of water for mature plants. Marijuana takes a long time to grow, preferring warm temperatures of 75-80 degrees during vegetative state. When flowering, they prefer cooler temperatures. Indoor cultivation requires a good grow light system and a fan, with tutorials available online for various systems. Indoor grow lights and fans are essential for optimal growth.
What does a dehydrated weed plant look like?
Underwatering is a common issue in marijuana plants, which can occur due to poor soil holding water or high temperatures causing rapid water evaporation. Symptoms include limp, nearly dying plants, thin lateral roots, and dehydrated leaf color and posture. Monitoring soil water levels is crucial for early detection and prevention of issues like underwatering, overwatering, and root rot.
Marijuana plants require a wet-dry cycle for growth, and they suffocate if the soil is too moist for too long. To determine if the soil is dry, check the soil with a finger a few inches below. If it’s still moist, the plants don’t need to be watered yet. Check for sagging or yellow foliage and bone-dry soils deep within the container before watering.
These signs are similar to those experienced when plants outgrow their containers. If the plant has been growing rapidly recently, it may need to be transplanted. By identifying these signs, growers can better manage their plants and prevent potential issues.
Why is my weed plant wilting and turning brown?
Drooping leaves on cannabis plants can indicate various issues, such as watering too much, too little, or too frequently. If it’s related to water, the leaves may turn light green, yellow, or brown. If it’s not, it may be a sign of root rot, especially in hydroponic systems. Checking the roots themselves can also reveal slimy and brown appearances. Temperature issues may also be a concern, with symptoms like purple or yellow leaves and problematic bud development. To prevent and treat this, it’s essential to allow the substrate to dry out between waterings.
📹 They’re DEAD….Indoor WEED GROW Update‼️
Update: Week 7 FLOWER My Indoor WEED GROW As you can see in todays Indoor weed grow update, they’re dead and gone …
I got sick Friday wasn’t able to feed or care for my plants Saturday went to check yesterday (Sunday) 3/9 died. I was pretty bummed out but hearing your positivity about growing and it being part of the trial and error process definitely helped me pick my head up! I’m gonna finish these last 6 out and do it better next time! 🤞🏽
I’m so happy your keeping things honest! I do the same! Seeing everyone’s perfect garden grow even though their hiding all the problems is BS! Growers need to learn how to troubleshoot problems and those problems should be article’s too! So I’m so happy you did just that! I’ve been growing for years and I’m always learning something new indoors and out. Thanks so much for keeping it real! I’m personally fighting a bad Caterpillar problem outdoors this season. Unlike anything I’ve seen before. It started in my Saturday article with 1 tiny 1/4″ worm and now on Sunday I’ve found 5 on the same plant. Itty bitty tiny worms destroying the tops of all my Blueberry Muffins🐛😖🐛 but that’s the cards I was dealt this season. Keep being true! Love it! 🌳👊😁🌳🇺🇸
this exact same thing happened to me this year. It was 100% without a doubt heat stress, that is what killed one of mine then about a week later took the other one sorry, they just look exactly like mine and the temperature was exactly the same it hit mid to high 90s and toasted them stay strong dont give up. i didnt and will not! love that you stay open and honest so thank you keep it up
Use fabric pots from now on so the roots can breathe and don’t get all tangled or too hot. The roots will grow through the bottom of the fabric pots and naturally air prune from sticking out of the bottom of the pot. I promise you fabric pots are amazing all my plants almost died when I had them in plastic pots I transplanted them into fabric and literally 2 days later looked great again.
They look very dry. Maybe the combination of a broken ventilater/intake/exhaust and the high temperatures. They are still very smokable. This is just part of the learning process, which goes on as long as you grow anyway. One key is to take good notes and article of the grow. This makes it easier to nail down what was done differently or what happened.
Just finished my first grow. It was fine for months then DISASTER. Some had root rot, some were too dry. They all just died from a combination of issues but mostly environment. Its def a learning process and I learned a lot. To those thinking abt starting a grow, if you dont already have the ability to easily control the climate in ur grow area, be prepared for the added expenses. In my case, it looks like im going to need a portable ac for summer grows and a humidifier for winter. I already have a dehumidifier for summer. Controlling the amount of light, heat and humidity the plants are getting throughout the day is the hardest part. Im mostly upset that I did 10 plants at once for my first grow and none survived. Def going to do less next time until Im more experienced.
I’m in Stockton right down the way. I started my 4×4 in the garage. Thank God my wife allowed me to put my tent in our huge laundry room and I can say my plants since moving them out the heat have been taking off. Leaves have fully recovered. I run my AC on 73 degrees daily so it keeps the grow tent cool. I say definitely go inside where the temp is controlled for best results. And also I believe the plants love cool to medium warm temps. Wouldn’t have them in constant 85 plus temps
I stopped using the plastic pots and started using fabric pots and I never had that problem again. It’s easy to get root rot if your not getting enough oxygen and proper drainage. If you are going to continue using the plastic pots I would say to drill holes all around the pots. Do you check the PH and PPM of your run off occasionally? Easy to get nutrient lockout if you don’t. Your roots look good to me, so, I would suspect either a nutrient lockout situation or something is killing your good bacteria. I would have thoroughly flushed with chlorine free (filtered), properly PH’d water, then added mycorrhizae inoculant to the soil, followed by your normal feeding (PH 6.2 – 6.5). Before you showed the roots, my guess would have been heat stress and that the lights were too close. I try to keep my environment any where from 72 to 82 during veg, and 65 to 74 during flower. I would also get a PAR meter to check the values you are getting at the tops of your colas.
It’s your temp and RH. You have to get rid of that vent and hook directly to the duct. You can add a spliter in the attic and run 1 duct to garage 1 duct to tent. Keep the duct hooked to ceiling to the tent then down to the port. Good luck next time. Or buy a portable A/C. Don’t start a new run until you have Temps under control. Run your exhaust outside or in the attic.
I had something similar happen to me. I live in Central valley, Calif. When we got our 1st heatwaves I believe it was in may. My plant which would have been over a lb. dry, was about 2 weeks from finishing, dried out and died over a 2 day period. Not exactly sure why but I believe it was the sudden spike in temp. Mine is a garage grow. I’ve since installed an AC. I’m now more able to control the temp
check out Bill Ward and Lex Blazer, they both have good information . Seeds generally make a more hardy plant. You might try some Autoflowers like the grow Bill Ward did with Girl Scout Cookies extreme from ILGM . Have had good luck with them as well as autos from Growers Choice Seeds. I have a thermometer at the canopy level gets as high as 87, and another on the floor gets to 84 when the canopy is 87. but most of the day it runs at 83 and 77. Have a mars hydro tsw 3000 15 inches off the canopy at 100% power. its just a plant you can do it. Wish you and your family the best
New grower here….having an issue with wind burn about 4 weeks into the flowering stage. I was using 2 small simple fans on 5 plants. I noticed the plants farthest from the fans are just fine. The 2 that took direct air look like yours. I won’t use fans again. My grow room has a window. I’m hoping that will be enough airflow for future grows.
Did you happen to read the seed banks recommendations for this particular strain? Not root rot! That is heat death! My seeds come with recommendations to grow between 74* and 80* degrees Fahrenheit. So if you got up to 96…..Ouch. Im sorrry this happened to you. Its been a while since this happened but i just started perusal you & subbed. Careful with the heat. Very proud of you to put your pride aside and show this fail, WE ALL FAIL, JUST TRY AGAIN..
I have jus posted my first grow on my website and harvested. I’m very sorry about this. I grew in a 3 x 3 keeping temps between 68 and 78. It seems like heat did it your roots are fine but I’m not sure. I grew all organic with gaia green. Also those plants seem very defoliated its good to keep fan leaves on to notice deficiencies before they hit your buds. GL with your future grows!
If you haven’t figured it out yet it may have been a VPD issue (vapor pressure differential) essentially humidity and temperature need to line up to allow proper transpiration (leaf breathing/water exchange) had an issue here when winter hit, humidity in my house dropped to 50% and I still had my tent at summer temps (26°c) which works well with higher humidity, but with 50rh my leaves were getting crispy and cooked looked like a couple different deficiencies or lockout. Had to drop tent temperature to 20°c and they seem to be recovering. Need to add a humidity controller to my tent and throw my humidifier in there or manage to keep temps down which is probably not gonna happen with the wattage I’ll have running in flower. Good luck and I hope you figured it out, but if not give a read into vpd charts and see if you were out of the range?
so sorry for you, looking perfect then……………………… I am going through the same issue today!!!. 2-3 weeks to harvest, was looking perfect and “f^**#>k!!!” WT???? Some dead in 24 hrs. The rest today WHY?????? Nothing has changed!!!???!!! Do you let it completely die on the plant or pick it and let it sit for 4-5 days????? Thanks
I feel like it was some watering issues mixed with heat! The heat alone with healthy plants shouldn’t have done that. But as quickly as you say it happened I feel like it has something to do with under watering. You HAVE to be on point with your WATERINGS in flower. I would say you are (UNDER) watering personally. Get yourself a cheap lil $5 Green Scapes digital moisture meter. They work well. Sometimes just lifting pots is NOT as effective as people think. I have had times where I think a pot feels heavy and has water and yet there are some leaves wilting. Soo I pull out the moisture meter and low and behold the roots are as dry as a popcorn fart Wich equals ALL BAD, especially during the flowering stage. Just letting your plants dry out 1 single time in the flowering stage WILL effect your final weight GURANTEED!!! Soo if it happens several times or if you let it happen and don’t catch it quick in temps like you are running I would def say it’s more then possible that you could winde up with dead plants just like happened hear. But keep growing and try something new. Take some peoples advice and then give it another try girl 👍
Too Low humidity. and the fans were blowing directly on the plants. Plant Stomata closes when the humidity drops below 50-60%… Also, you go too long between waterings – because you have uneven growth on your root ball 3:16..maybe consider a portable AC for the garage. and you need CO2 if you’re gonna do indoors with high temps.
I’m in Las Vegas Nevada with Temps in 115°F don’t panic, here are two quick options that I have personally used in this situation 3% Hydro peroxide (1 to 3 parts water) this immediately adds oxygen to the roots as well as kills mold, fungus and root rott. Or Milk (1 to 3 parts water) this helps if they were Nutrient poisoned. I hope you didn’t trash the Girls they were doing soooooo well. Keep a good circulation of air for 3hrs after emergency treatment
I also been having similar problems for first time and I’m on 4th full grow. Plants have been going from perfectly green to yellow and crispy in a matter of a day or two. I was absolutely shocked when I checked them. And suddenly tragedy. Was the absolute strangest thing considering it’s never happened before in 4 grows to harvest. Funny enough my first grow was my best grow out of all 4. I’m somehow regressing in ability. Lol
It’s definitely heat issues. Those things are crispy critters 😅 optimum temps are anywhere from high 60’s to low 80”s 😭 especially down south in the summer time I don’t know anyone who’s growing indoors without a quality air conditioning system to drop that summer time heat. Also have your light on over night and have them off during the day to keep it as cool as possible 😊
My plant started so late to flower so I have small buds and it’s drying I have a different setting no grow tent or high tech gadgets like u have but it’s been growing now my plant wants to stop growing for me I’m just thinking bout throwing it out and start over but it took so long to grow I thought maybe almost lost it when I just had sunlight
My plant did the same exact thing at the same stage. My tent NOT HOT 70-77 degrees. Fox Farm potting soil was so excellent. And then just like yours, it’s leaves turned brown in spots, yellowed leaves, and buds are suffering. I was going to harvest in two-three weeks. I thought it was over nutrients (Tiger Bloom) but I didn’t really give a lot. Maybe half doses 7 drops in a 16.9oz bottle water size. Flushed soil anyway no help. Thought it was Phosphorus deficiency. Gave it some banana infused water. Then plant got really bad !. I have transplanted it to new soil. Gave it clean water under low light. We’ll see what happens. I think it’s dead tho. So I don’t think it was heat and under watering like most are saying to you. . Because mine was not hot and I perhaps over watered and my plant looks just like yours exactly . So I think it’s something with the nutrients or pH levels. My pH meter was reading 7.0. Was it accurate? I don’t really know. I also had pink/purple fan leaf stems. Did you?
Also temps should never be getting over 82° in the lights on phase. And shouldn’t get below 68° at lights out. I neglected to turn on my ac when it started to get hot and humid and bam. Next day got wrecked. Just praying they don’t have any botrytis from the high humidity and heat. Got two AC on now so I’m hoping the rest don’t need to be cut down early. Got about a week to go.
It probably was the heat since it in your garage from my personal experience…..is that a garage gets suuuper hot because it’s basically and enclosed porch it’s the same temp as outside or hotter depending on the size and what’s in your garage….. I use my garage as a game room and if I don’t keep the door to the house open with the ac on 63 it will get so hot you will want to die out there and I don’t have any kind of venting in my garage so try getting a stand up ac unit or turning your ac to the house down colder I have to keep mine at 63 just to keep my grow room that’s upstairs and over my garage at a good 73-80 degrees depending on how hot it is outside
So sad to hear about your girls but to my experience your pH of your runoff should tell you about everything that’s going on with your plant when your pH is not in the optimum range the plant will not up take the nutrients that it needs even if the right amount is in the soil not saying that’s your problem but most of the time the problem answer is right in your runoff I don’t know if the plant died overnight but I never seen a plant die overnight unless it’s been sabotage just food for thought good luck and remember trial-and-error makes the best Growers
I just finished my 1st grow and you are correct, IT’S A LEARNING EXPERIENCE! Do you keep a digital temp/humid gauge in your space with a wi-fi readout? Great way to keep a running record of the grow room environment. I think we could all use a bit more data to give you any helpful suggestions. 🙂 Luv your website!
My plants died kause of the heat, but you should’ve been able to bring your plant back. you may loose some product but there is a way. I think you should have a lot more air flow in that tent and try to fix your lil rig you already had . I think they all are just overheated Kause was he tents environment
Your ducting needs replacing- it’s not working with all the gaps. Get a humidifier and keep you temp 80-82f. Learn about vapour pressure defecit, that will allow you to master your environment. Get a small Air Conditioner and grab a environment controller for your grow room. Maybe also switch to coco, or coco soil mix. It happens to the best of us. Start some seeds or plant some clones while you research and sort out your environment this week, hit the ground running in 7 days. Peace.
Thats hot. And your losing terps at them high temps. Definitely need to fix that AC for sure. Edit: not root rot. And I love the fact that you’re honest enough to even post a article like this. Nobody shows their mess ups. I’d invest in a portable AC to pump cold air into it and try to keep it at 75°. At 96° man that’s hottt for an indoor grow. Definitely you’re environment. Clones will get you to flower faster than seeds. Love your website.
I am still new to the indoor cannabis grow scene myself, but have alot of experience with gardening flowers and vegetables. I honestly think it looks like underwatering and a heat/humidity issue? I know Some of my plants like it hotter than others! MAybe research your strains your growing a little and see what temps /humidity others have had good luck with? Just a suggestion!
This comment is for anybody growing inside of a grow tent thats in a garage. If you have the money the best investment you can make is a portable A/C unit. If your plants get too hot and dry they will literally feed on there self especially in flower. so make sure that you have proper air movement inside the tent also make sure that you exhaust all of the air inside the tent outside if possible. if you cannot afford an ac unit try keeping the garage door cracked and leave all of the bottom flaps open on the tent too pull fresh air in.
I think it was just heat and not watering enough temps should run 66-80 85 max or it can stun growth and burn leaves. And just for some tips for your next grow if you ever think it’s hot find the coolest place in your house and you can do your grow in there. Unfortunately my room is the hottest room but still manage to keep my temps below 28 c.
I know I’m two years late and you very well may have a totally different setup by now but just a couple issues I noticed in this one? You very well may need a new carbon filter but that really shouldn’t have been anything to do with this issue since that’s filtering the air going out not coming in and the neg air pressure keeps dust/particulates pretty well stuck to the filter anyhow. That fan is super dirty and is very likely blowing dust particles and who knows what else directly onto your girls. I think that normally they’d be able to handle it because I’ve personally had fan running just as dirty before it got cleaned and had no issues but my temps and humidity were fairly dialed in so the plants were likely able to fend off any illnesses. My guess is the heat and possibly your RH% levels which I don’t think you touched on here, were stressing out your girls and their immune systems just weren’t as strong as they could’ve been. Just a theory. I’m sure you’ve grown bigger and lovelier buds with much more success by now though so who cares, eh? Just some advice.
I guarantee if you hook up the air fow in and out. I could direct you what to do you could make a article walk around of your garage and i could point out where and how to have that air on point. do a article on your whole tent too inside and out. cuz like I said everything else on point. I had a friend who was growing in a grow tent in his garage just like you had same issue and now hes growing topp shelf cuz his air on point.
This exact SAME THING happened to me. It was my heat. Plus I found out my water was too acidic and my humidity was WAYYYY OFF! I had no air conditioning and my fan was dirty as well. Also try growing Auto flowers. They automatically flower and they take less time! So too much time want be fumbled on green thumb lessons (no offense or anything) Also anything in the 90’s are burning up those trichomes like melting butter. In one of my plants I also lacked potassium and my soil was also too acidic as well. (Soil testers, costly yet VERY worth it.) so yeah keep trying your doing a good job and yes we are all new going through the same thang. Lbs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂✌🏿
So Girly Ganja, here is what happened. Actually let me tell you the time I saw this and it will tell you exactly what happened. I had planes in 3 places. My furnace room, a tent in my furnace room and a 2×4 in my basement but away from the heat. Now in each place not many plants like 1 or 2 but the problem is VPD. Your VPD in veg is good at .85- 1.3. In flower closer to 1. The heat increased the VPD to a dangerous level and destroyed your roots. What’s happening in the soil is what’s happening above the ground. So the higher the heat the more humidity you need…but in flower if you can’t keep the temp under 79 degrees you will not produce quality bud. In veg perfect is like 80 degrees and 60% humidity. Look up a VPD chart. I know this was the problem because the tent in my furnace room plants didn’t do this bc it’s more humid in a tent. The tent in the basement not in the furnace area didn’t do this because that dry 15% humidity/75 degree heat didn’t kill them in my case. So everyone try to stay in the optimum range on a vapor pressure chart for you plants. It’s not related to watering as much as it’s related to humidity/heat ratio not being favorable. You can’t grow good bud under 40% humidity or over 60-65%, unless the plant is some landrace indica or sativa.
Thanks for sharing, I much rather watch articles on encountering problems than perfect grows…. I’m probably not experienced enough to give advice but I’d get a temp controller, it will kick on some AC or Heat (using the house ac vent might be insufficient, i have a window unit just for my garage) depending on the temps inside the garage keeping your tent environment stable is where I’d focus attention
Love your attitude…It’s all part of the learning experience that just about everyone will go through. Keep your head up and don’t stop, that AH HAAA moment will happen if you keep trying. I’m no expert but I have learned a lot in my 4 years. I still have much more to learn but I’m willing to share what I have learned from experience and other great growers that have helped me along the way. On another note, I always like to start from seed….longer veg time, but at least I know I’m not inviting any pests or disease into my grow room. Once it’s in there, it’s hell to get rid of. I only grow from clones that have been cut from my own plants that I know are pest and disease free.
I had 6 of the Acapulco Gold did the same . I was feeding all 6 from a timmed resevoir and 6 weeks into flower, wham, different as day and night. The one thing I could possibly blame it on was I used some bad notes in the res. When it fed them it got them all. Trouble is how do I find out if it was my nutes,, and which One? I’ve gone back to hand watering for the time being.
I could tell on the last article that the plant was sick. Everyone was saying hey girl that looks good. I was like wtf. Your temp needs to be around 72 during flowering, and the humidity needs to be around 50%. I can tell you’re not feeding it right, as well. Nutrients, PH levels, PPM levels, let me know what you feed them, and if you check the PH and PPM every time.
Wonder if it’s genetics, I took clones from a plant that had a deficiency then it bounced back and then had bounced back to the same deficiency. Sunset sherbet. The white widow plant feeding the same, same environment and all and it had massive cola’s and stayed green all the way to 12 week harvest 🤷🏼
Never happened to me indoor, but had happened yesterday outdoors to one of my plants that’s about also 7 weeks in flower. I’m from the Caribbean and this time year around it’s pretty rainy and when the sun comes out in-between its really hot and humid 70%+ .. I’m thinking in my case either 2 things could probably do that, drastic temperature and humidity changes.. or there was a disease of some sorth 🤔.
last article looked like they needed to be watered and then the lights kicked on at 96 degrees and fried them. next time i would just use bigger pots to buffer your watering habits, if you cant get in there everyday and they definitely look under feed. everything else looks on point. keep up the good fight 420
soooo sorry for your loss! lol but if you hit 90+ degrees I definitely think you roasted them. I don’t like to let my tent get over 87ish. Sometimes growing is about short term memory loss lol like you said, re-evaluate and come up with that battle plan! I also use a dryer vent duct to send A/C from my window unit to my tent. So you had the right idea of how to help regulate your temps. Kinda gotta keep it running tho /: gets a lil pricy
YOU NEED TO USE A PORABLE AC UNIT THAT HAS AC AND HEAT KEEP THE TEMPS AT 75F 80F IF YOU HAVE CO2 TANK ADN IF YOU ARE RUNNING LESS THEN 1000 WATT LIGHT THEN USE 66% LESS NUTRIENTS FOR 400 WATT IF YOU HAVE 600 WATTS USE 33% LESS NUTRIENTS AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PH AS WELL YOU WILL ALWAYS FAIL AT FIRST AND LEARN BY TRAIL AN ERROR
Temps & miswatering. Looks like they could have been saved, but I’m not mad at you for writing it off as experience. For future reference though, when this happens, the resulting product doesn’t have to be wasted: it can be used medicinally & other ways. Agriculture as a whole has been kolonized to be thought of as single-use, so everyone generally does. It doesn’t have to be that way for those who are receptive to Ancestral wisdom. I wouldn’t worry about anything too tough if I were you though because it looks like your Spirit is OPEN for alll the lessons that Goddess/MotherNature has to teach you: lessons BEYOND what your fave growing gurus COULD EVERRRRR…….. It’s gonna be a beautiful ride.
Ready Steady GOOOO organics!!!!! And this looks like small pots equals hotter roots then you over water typically, but it could be a nut lockout or PH fluctuation. I notice like 2 weeks ago summit wasnt right or it could of been a typical high soil PH or a cold temp in the tent but does look like root proplems. But ri ri go organics much easy and much better life for the plant feed the medium not the roots .(Cali green ) is a good start. But in future test soil PH and EC and what is your run off ppm ?and get FABRIC pots 20 litre minimum
I feel for you. I hate when stuff happens like this and all the hard work to get to this point in the grow feels like it is for nothing but it isn’t. You learn from each. I think it is your temps. Get a humidity/temps reader that records your levels on your phone. I also recommend a inkwell temp and humidity controllers to automatically control your environment. I went through exactly what you are going through until I made everything automated. So sorry this has happened to you.
Why you got to check out your nutrients then your light and then your water you got to pH your water and check your ppm’s in check with your feeding sometimes your soil is messed up there could be a lot of things that could be wrong cannabis needs to be like is perfect as it can be and that is hard 99% of people that grow fail like your website I hope to see you succeed good luck
my plants look worse than yours, but youre vent thing i googled cause im hgaving venting issues heat humidity, and a post on rollitup one comment says the following about ducting to your house vents, Few reasons not to do this..The obvious is if the filter fails then the smell will fill the house and vent outside. Second you may inadvertantly add moisture into your ducting which can cause mold, corrosion and dust build up which besides health reason bogs the system down costing you money and comfort. Another is adding this branch if not figured into the original units setup can cause air flow and pressure issues which may cause damage to the inside furnace a/c unit.I’m not sure if you run co2 but this would stop that option as the filter fan would need to run 24/7 making co2 fills impossible. Your also going to have temp flux in the system when the home unit kicks on as it will add draw to the filter line which could cause the fan to over run and burn the motor up. I would just not do it due to all the possible issues, rollitup post tittle is Possible to vent grow tent into A/C return ducting?
I see your grow you definitely need to feed more often and water more often your soil is alive feed the soil and the soil feed the plant the environment is key it hot and heat wave hit Cali so turn lights dimmers down all the way during hottest times i do I have marshydro or shut one off and also removal of the meanwell Drivers ballest dimmers will dramatically lower temperature and give more control of your room if you can pick up the pots as easy as I seen you do in other articles water and feed definitely you dryback way to long the soil need to be somewhat moist with a healthy amount of oxygen but you can still water few times in a day 500ml and let it dry and hit it again and again during hottest time plant will uptake more water and could drown it as well could also be issuse so I use hydroton in my soil also use bio char give soil oxygen and microbes Colonize on the hydroton which provides air in oxygen in soil and you can water and feed more often root zone temp is another thing to look into I got soil recipe I use organic start from beginning build up drought resistant and bug resistant stress resistant plants that are strong cell walls plants for maximum nutrient uptake and better yields
Hi Girly Ganja, here is a link to mars-hydro comparing the SP and the TS series of lights. mars-hydro.com/info/mars-hydro-sp-ts-quantum-board-series-what-is-the-difference.html . Quote “They both use new SMD chips, using low current to drive while with a lot of them to make sure the whole light output is high. They are both white color, sunlight full spectrum suitable for both veg and flower or all stage of your plants’ growing. They both put high PPE about 2.15umol/j, and they all with no fan design”. So the SP and TS lights are the same, except for that the SP series has a narrow light spread, is more intense, gets more penetration and produces more heat due to the heat sink. The SP is also waterproof. Nice. Okay, looking at the spec sheets of the SP3000 mars-hydro.com/led-grow-light/mars-sp-series-led-grow-light/buy-sp-3000-best-led-grow-lights-for-indoor-plants-sunlike-spectrum-with-ir-uv-for-2×5-mars-hydro-marshydro-led-grow-light-for-sale and the TSW2000 (which you had before, I believe) mars-hydro.com/led-grow-light/mars-ts-series-led-grow-light/mars-tsw-2000-led-full-spectrum-hydroponic-led-grow-light, you will see that they are both 300W, but the SP is meant for a 2 x 5 and the TSW is meant for a 4 x 4. So, essentially they are the same light, but the SP is more intense in a smaller space, and produces more heat. Your plants were looking good under the TSW2000. I’m wondering at what dimming setting you had it at? Hanging 2 x SP3000’s is like hanging 2 x TSW2000’s but with a more narrow, intense light.
BOTH PLANTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER 1-LIGHT THEY WERE DEAD AND YOUR TENT 99% EMPTY THEY ACTUALLY DIED FROM A COMBINATION OF TOO MUCH LIGHT AND HEAT- AND THE INABILITY TO SUPPORT THAT LEVEL OF EVAPORATION WITH OVER WATERED ROOTS AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT THE LEAVES SHRANK SO RAPIDLY AND COMPLETELY how could it be a filter?
I believe it’s a combination of things. One i think it’s temperature swings.. on her iG article her thermpro showed a 20 degree temperature swing.. not sure if that was all time or 24 hrs. She probably easily gets that garage to 78 degrees at night then all hell breaks out the next day at 96 degrees. Second I believe her plants slowly starved. week 6 and 7 plants usually suck up the most water and nutes. Her plants looks like a person with ocd flushed them several hundred times. Third her parameters were probably out of whack. On top of that’s there’s probably not even an oz of co2 in the garage. Air in that tent probably stagnant. …just have to do some more homework and figure it out.she fine as fuck to me that’s why I’m helping out.. damn I’m such a piece of shit… Typical male 🤷
Well when you don’t check your temps and water every week in a half you’re gonna have problems every time. It’s really not that hard. The flowering process is the most critical part. Then you can’t even narrow it down to what it is because you keep doin the same thing every year. And please don’t go wit seeds. That will be a waste of money. Before you get anymore plants gets your temps and humidity in order. Turn on the lights and leave it on for 24hrs. Come back the next day and see your averages. Cus right now you just wasting electricity and time.
Stop plucking them. Everytime you pluck something off you stressed them out. You can kill them that way. You probably pluck leaves every other day. Meaning she never had time to heal or grow. Now you just pluck all of them buds off. Get a razor and split the bottom. Tie it back together and water it.
