GF tried to kill my plants (also question abount heavy branches)

First major grow, no real issues until now. (400 WT LED, using FF soils and the common 3 set nutes)
So I went out of state for a week and had my GF water my pants, they only needed watering 2 times, nutes once, and she somehow managed to royally fuck them up in that one time even after explaining to her how much nutes to use and even her reading the bottles.
My Gorilla Glue managed to take the majority of the damage, but all of them got a little bit.
My question is, I have already defoliated all the yellow/burned leaves, which was a ton of them, should I flush for a week or so, or just continue on and use less nutes for a while?


Also have a ZSkittlesxAmnesia that has had major issues with branches bending/falling, I have the whole plant held by stakes atm, but there are some little branches that are hanging badly. Should I try and stake them as best as I can too, or should I just cut the little ones off and call them a lose?

Wow

I figured it should not be hard to add 6 tablespoons of nutes to a 2 gallon water can and mix...almost no clue how this managed to happen, especially to the 2 largest/oldest plants. The only thing I can think is maybe she overwatered them with the nute mixture so they got more nutes than normal.
In hindsight I should of just had her water them with plain water while I was gone.

Oh well :/


Any tips on my plant that's trying to kill itself with it's little weak branches lmao?

Here's what it all looked like before I left a week or so ago.

Think either ride it out or flush and then start with some more nutrients but either way cut them or wait it out

Maybe might take longer to mature but don't quote me on that but I just let it ride it out you're this far

There's your first mistake. Automatic fertigation can keep your pants wet while on leave.

So did your gf not follow your instructions...? Or...?

This is my first "real grow" other than a teenage attempt that turned out ok over a decade ago.
I'd like to go with auto watering at some point (being able to do the root stem drips is nice to not have to move anything) but that's a future project thing.

I didn't plan on cutting early atm, as from what I understand that plant in particular only has 2-4 weeks or so until it's done completely. I can wait for that, just wondering if a week flush would be a good idea vs just doing light nutes for a while. I already water every other time with plain water.

Can you move it outside I just flush it and then start with some yeah I'm saying a little nutes and just let it ride it out when all I was saying is being burned it may take a little extra time being to mature

But if the burn has stopped since it's happened but I bet it will keep going as you more you water it in because there's probably a bunch of nudes maybe she added too much

I have no idea, I went over it with her before I left and on the phone before she did it all. It's easy AF, just add 3 tbs of each per gallon of water, then water them all until they are "full"/the bags start leaking a little.
Like I said above in the OP, only thing I can think of is that she watered the 2 biggest ones more than normal, which I tend to do myself and told her was fine, and maybe they just got more water/nutes than normal. Or possibly some nutes were settled to the bottom of the watering can and got in there.
Either way, sucks, now that plant is missing pretty much all it's good fan leaves for the last few weeks of flower.

Thanks for the replys and advice!
I'll probably wait until tonight and pull it outside and flush it with 2 gallons or so of plain water and then just under nute it for a week or 2, that sounds like a good plan.

It's not your girlfriends fault so if you yelled at her you should go buy her some flowers and say you're sorry. You would have been better off just having her water them with plain water and not expect her to mix up the nutrients. They would have been just fine for a week.

I'd just give them plain water and skip any flushing.

It is what it is. All you can do is turn the page and finish the book.

I agree. Definitely too many nudes on the pants


Gona be honest, that's kinda fucked up on her part. Straight neglect. But, i bet she doesn't have any trouble smoking your shit? Sorry bro.
