WTF! Left the pump off!

[jgreenbeast]

Well to my surprise when I checked on my aero room this morning I see that I had left the pumps off! I had them off 4 mait. and must have forgotten them (that's what happens when u get in a hurry).
Enhow, its bn about 12-14 hours and plants look like shit 2nd wk flower,instead on 1min, 4 off, I put the pumps on 24/7 to see if I can get them to bounce back.

What u think is it @ a loss ( i hope not) It's my Super leomon haze so Im hopin I can nurse them back!

lol... it's also called a "raymond"

that's funny man.

I think your plants will probably come back. Do you have pictures? I've done it many times before and can probably tell you if they'll come back to life.

I switched from aero to ebb/flow, way more forgiving.

before maintenance, you should tie a string around your finger and make all the checks that everything is on and set.

Good luck! I hope you dont lose those plants.

yea no worries sir I have a friend thats does it on a regular basis and I think he lost one plant in the last 4 years of his grow chronicle . The string on the finger is simple genius and I will pass that on to my buddy how do you give rep+

i think this is why my name is "whatapothead" on here.... i've done this a couple times on my cloner.... sucks way more on the cloner since the plants are so weak..

i grow in a shop and on my door i wrote right on the thing ... "Pumps On??" seems to have helped... or i just hate waiting a month for roots...

gl man.

I would never want to test this fact but I was told that you have up to 24 hours before there are any problems.

 

[whatapothead]

alot of this depends on the system being used tho. if your roots are hitting the water and the water is oxygenated enough yeah you could go 24hrs...

Lost over half of the crop, 6 SLH r doing good while the remaining 8 r still debatable.
That sux but ohwell it happens, now Im gonna install a back up system on a cap timer in case of this or en other mistakes w/the pumps,
OH and as far as the system being used, its a DIY aero, just like the aerojet/aerogarden 6 channels @ 7 sites per.
