Captain We are taking water

Wow I dont think no words can describe the amount of rain I have gotten the past couple days. But man I just had to pull out my Lowryder out of 3feet of water. I had some waterboots that are knee high and those where submerged so i pretty much ended up having a wet nutsack and some very soaked plants. I only pulled out my diesel since its abuot a week from finishing... but will it being for it being under water i think she is doing good.
The question I have is I have a couple more plants outhere still vegging. I dont think I can go out there and save them and they are submerged. Do anyone think they will survive being underwater for long periods of time? like its serious the waterline is well above the pots. How long do you think I might have to move them to another location before they drown?

that arent gonna last long... roots will die from lack of oxygen and very likely rot... plant cant transpire and dies.. i think you missed your window of opportunity a few days ago.... sorry for the bad news

:/ yea 2morrow im going to try and make some kind of platform see if i can have them on there im hoping it isnt too late but yea they have been submerged for atleast 24hrs... They are so big too i was able to save the diesel i believe but im sure she got a good flushing for being submerged so long

well i hope it turns out ok for ya and that they spring back... good luck

I feel for ya. How did you let this happen? I would be doing whatever it takes to get them out and on higher ground. At least try to salvage them. Damn dude that sucks.

yea it sukz but since i cant get to them everyday and dont have a better spot to grow them at this moment but the rain is so unexprected and the amount too b/c i have been scouting round those woods over a year and well atleast last year there wasnt rising waters anywhere near that amount but hey what can you do.

First thing tommorow I am going out back there but I dont really wanna run the risk of getting bit or infected by something.
Swamp waters = water mocassins gators
but who knows I will see how brave i feel tommorrow morning. Hopefully it will be below knee level and i can effectively do something... anyone have any ideas of some kind of platform or something i can use to raise them?
My decision making ability should be pretty good tommorrow morning havent seen the Misses J in almost a week so Im hoping on a rainless night tonite see if it some water goes down

idk maybe oxygen is gettin through the water flow butt the current coulda swept ur plants away
dont risk ur life for plants that coulda got dragged away

no no im not worried about them gettin swepted away lucky enough no current but thats the bad part too stagnant water for too long for sure will kill them but im sure couple hours from now in the morning water will lower and I can maybe save them wish me luck!

For your platform, go to any large store like home depot lowes etc and ask them if you can have or buy one of those wooden platforms they use for forklifts. Or just 5 finger one from the back of any store they usually set them out. Then get a 4x4 and have them cut it into sections for you at home depot (its free). then nail the bitch together and bring a shovel and set the posts ATLEAST 12 inches into the ground. You could even stack rocks around the posts for extra stability. cheers

Thanks for the idea but went out there this morning and it hasnt gotten anybetter actually looks like it has gotten worse (felt like the water was above knees :/ .....so ive made some phone calls to a couple good buddies im hoping to be able to find them a good home by today im sure someone out there wants some beautiful ladies to add to their collection brighten up their garden.

Im glad i was able to salvage my diesel which was about to be done flowering this week. Reading that water curing thread yesterday also put me at ease since THC nonwater soluble she didnt get damaged as bad as it could have been if I had left that little girl out there longer

where u from lol

i would be in the swamp lands of fl

Sounds like you planted them in the everglades lol. Nah but did they survive?
