Please help me

[ginpie]

Hi to all,

I need help desperately. I have 6 different strains in my grow room and all were doing well until 2 days ago. While 4 of them are growing wonderfully 2 are dying. I don't know what could be wrong as I have been watering and caring the same for all of them. Could someone please advise what I could be doing wrong, and if at this point I can save these 2. Thank you so much in advance for you help.

Is your fan too close to your plants or blowing over your soil........maybe those two are drying out faster than the others being closest to your fan.......they look thirsty as hell!GL.peace

Hi Ginpie!

I remember your first threads here -- congrats on getting things going! As for this situation, I do hydro so I can't help a whole lot. However, one thing that jumps out at me is that you're growing 6 different strains but treating them all the same. Different strains have different needs, and even two plants of the same strain may have different needs. I'm growing two of the same strain, and one needs more nutes and water than the other.

B166ER420 might be right about those two needing more water if they're right next to the fan. Also, I do notice that you have a lot of yellowing leaves on some of the other plants, but one is green all the way through. I think you're going to have to tweak your routines a bit for each strain.

Good luck!

are those leaves floppy and lifeless feeling if so my guess would be under water give them some water

Thanks for your help. Actually the soil is a little too moist at the moment and I was thinking maybe could it be root rot. What do you think? By the ways the 2 that are in peril are both sativas and the others that are doing well are indicas. Could the sativas be more sensitive to light or cold or water, etc. They are both far from the fan.

 

[grorite]

what size pot are they and how long have they been in it could be root bound

 

[ginpie]

Quick questions, is it too late to try and clone to save the strains? Thanks

 

[ginpie]

Ten inch pot and they are not that big, so I don't think the roots are to tight.

Cold water?....bad for any....if ur soil is moist and plants look like that...and are determined to stay in that position def over watering.... try n push leaf up...if it springs bk down w quickness....over water....lifeless like grorite SD...under water....re pot....fresh soil bigger pot...immediately.

 

[thatboyis1uvakind]

Ha....those roots will shock u...pull em out n see....a plant that size def has filled up a 10inch pot

if you suspect its root rot you can check and see by lifting the roots out of the pots and checking on the color of them. Healthy roots are a nice white color, or at least a light tan. If you have dark brown or black areas of the roots than it is a fungas attacking them. This can be treated using a hydrogen peroxide flush. I've used the 28% h2o2 that I get at my hydro store and cut it 5 ml to a gal of water and flush the heck out of it. After flushing let the soil go almost dry befor rewatering again with a light nutriant solution. Over watering is the prime cause of this problem. You want the soil to be almost dry befor watering again. ( check by the weight of the pot, water is heavy!)
Cloning from a stressed plant is rarely successful. But I have done it on occasion to try and save the strain.

Just my 2 cents

Okay, that's def a clue -- your routine works well with indicas but not so well with sativas. Both Grorite and Thatboyis1uvakind usually give great advice, so I'd say follow it as you probably have nothing to lose.

And just fyi, blending indicas and sativas in a single grow may complicate matters down to the line, too, as they're going to grow at different rates and to different heights. You might have to alter your set up a bit in flower if the sativas shoot up close to the light but the indicas don't and are a lot lower. Even growing two different hybrids can be a challenge, depending on the genetic makeup.

Once you get this first grow out of the way and see which strains work best for your husband, you might want to grow one strain at a time. It's less complicated!

Best,

What he said^^

You are absolutely right, it is a challenge growing different strains and I am watching them constantly and having a wonderful time, and for sure I will pick only one or two the next time around. My son in law has checked the roots and they are black. So I guess we have root rot, so we are going to repot and let them dry out before watering again and keep our fingers crossed. Thanks for all your information.

 

[thatboyis1uvakind]

When u re pot mix 50% per lite w ur soil...its a must have...weed hates moist soil

 

[thatboyis1uvakind]

Once in the fresh soil water one good time to moisten n settle....then don't touch it for at least 3days....if Its gonna make it ull see a noticeable improvement in 3days time.

IMO the 2 droopy ones are crying and screaming out at the top of their nodes for you to water them, have you checked the PH and the temps of your water?? GW

DO NOT REPOT WITHOUT KILLING THAT FUNGAS!!!!!!!!!!!

If you do you will be just transfering the fungas to the new soil and pot!!!!!!!

Evenj if you dry the soil out, without treating to kill the fungas you will be fighting it all the way throight he grow. IT WONT WORK!!

You have to flush it with the h2o2, I say again YOU HAVE TO KILL THE FUNGAS!!! then you can go ahead and re- pot it.

You may have to do it a couple of times to be sure.
