Just bought a mother plant for my first grow lol had it for 4 hours and its dying

BEFORE AND AFTER PIC. Im super noob, I bought the mother plant for 50 bucks told me its ready to bud lol!!!!!, Og kush, I was unable to do anything to the plant but put a little water into the pot, before I was late to work, my gf sent me these pics and now she is saying the leafs are dropping and getting yellow, Its still in the hydro rocks? pot? by the time i get off work it will be 10:30 pm, should i just throw it away lmao?

it maybe over watering or underwatering that can cause that to are u grow in soil how many times u water it

lol it's in hydroton, and doesn't look like you have a system to keep the roots moist 24/7.. + it's outside. So yea. your plant roots are dried out or somethin.

Hydroton doesnt hold moisture well so your plant needs to be watered 24/7 with oxygenated water but that doesn't mean filling the pot to the brim with water (which would drown your plant)

I want to put it in soil, but i was late to work, I just watered it once at 2:30pm, its 7:09pm now. at 10:30 I will put it in soil with mircle grow, prolly wait to water it in the morning since the soil im going to use is pretty moist, I live in palm springs ca, 110 outside and a lil windy so I had my girl put it inside where my house plants grow, Its weird the house came with plants which light passes through a dome in the ceiling. Tomorrow im planning on putting outside in direct sunlight for the whole day? sunrise at 6:00 am sunset at 8:00 pm. hope it doesnt flower lmao. GOD IM SO NOOB should of just been happy with my qp of OG KUSH lmao

it will survive, but u got work to do when you get home.

Thank you for the hope!!! prolly a noob question but its ok to have in direct sunlight for the whole day correct? its prolly about 3ft right now would you bud the lil sucker?or just let it grow!!! prolly get an 8th rofl! . oh oh oh and can I leave the little hydroton rocks in? hehehe prolly still has nutes from the shop still.

no... it won't make it through flowering if you don't give it nutes. If you wanna be cheap get some Miracle Grow Bloom booster for $5 for flowering (add 1 tsp per gallon. Water needs to be in PH range 5.5 - 6). Might need to add some Epsom salt for magnesium too. (1/4 tsp per gallon). Yea you can flower them outside around august/sept.

I suggest you do some reading haha.

about being cheap, i got about 50 bucks to invest heheeh. add this now or in aug/sept? its so fucking hot here its rediculous! aug/sept still above 80 degrees, But in augt/sept I would still have to do the 12/12 basically leave out for 12 hours in direct sunlight then put it in my garage which has no light coming through for 12 hours etc etc, to begin flowering. And i will begin reading in about................ right now... ty for all ur help!

You should be able to do it outdoors now if the plant was under 18/6 the whole time. I put mine outside a few weeks ago and they started flowering.. They're only getting like 9-10 hours of complete UNINTERRUPTED darkness. (uninterrupted is important because if you turn the lights on to admire them during the dark period you're gonna end up with hermaphrodite plants). Keep your plant somewhere that snails/catapillers won't get to them.

Does your plant have preflowers yet? I start the switch to the bloom nutrients when it has the preflowers and the new growth has white hairs.

But if not your plant is gonna need more nitrogen to keep it going. Miracle Grow All Purpose Plant food at (1 tsp per gallon) every other watering will do the job. Then switch to Miracle Grow Bloom Booster when it's flowering. You can get both of these for like $12.
So if you decide to only do this one grow you won't have wasted money on expensive nutes.

I ran into PH problems with tap water so I hope you have distilled water or a reverse osmosis filter.

wow anomlies you fucking rock! ty for all the info, hopefully I can grow better then the "strawberry cough" they sell at the shops for 150 an oz lol!

I think the best way to keep a new plant is to closely represent the conditions it was originally in as closely as possible. Than once you get her adjusted and she is staying alive and looking healthy you can change stuff. More likely than not, a plant that was growing in hydroton is used to a hydroponic system and therefore is likely grown indoors under HIDs. Check with the person you got the plant from and than transplant to soil if you like and after the plant is showing signs that she is adjusted again, than you can put her outside but you will have to "harden her off" by introducing her to the outdoors for breif periods. If you must plant outside I would recommend planting in a partially shaded area until she can handle direct sunlight and remain outdoors permanantly.

Maybe try some http://www.superthrive.com/ which is sold at most walmarts for about 12 dollars a small bottle. It's not a fertilizer or nutrient, so you can add it to your mix safely. A few drops goes a long way. I put these on a seedling that was looking sick and it's now my healthiest seedling.

leave it out in the sun, it will grow much bigger and flower when it naturally would which would give you the most bud and less of a hastle

had it in my dark ass garage all night, then at 8am or so, It looked like it came back to life, looked very green, leafs were standing up, When I put it in my big ceramic pot with mircle grow soil, about two bags, to fill up the pot, I then only put about 5-6 cups of water was scared to over water the bad boy, left it out in the sun, it was about 110 degrees out, with a gentle breeze, so from 9am-4pm it was outside in direct sunlight, now its droopie, yellow leafs, real dry leafs, I put it inside my house where my house plants grow, has a dome on top of the cieling for sunlight, looks like it dying pretty fast Could be the weather? not enough water? Im wondering if i leave in my house that it will get enough sun from the dome? its 79 degrees in my house always. Im going to buy a 5 gallon bucket cuz I cant really tell if it has enough water or not with this big ass ceramic pot lol. any help would be great! ty all

ps I wrote this without noticing the last two comments which would of helped me in the morning lol, I should of read those last two comment (>.<)

u should water it really good a couple days in a row if you have to. post more pics. ive completly saturated my plants and they are fine.

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 6 months ago I tried to grow ahahah and got a mother plant lmao. I was such a lil noob then, i ended up moving and left the plant. it actually started to bud outside lmao. now that im serious about growing i started off with clones i wish i had that mother plant still at veg state lol. shit would be awesome!

Lmao. @ Hydroton with no water, no system in the sun. Now thats a DIY hydro. would only be Funnier had you Filled the Bucket with water. and left it outside

one word: waffle

Miracle grow... I'm no scientist but even my mom told me not to use miracle grow (im in a medical state). I'm not sure why, but everyone I talk to says miracle grow is bad for marijuana plants, same with most posts I see on here about it. I'm surprised nobody caught it and mentioned this yet.

Also, 110 is way to hot for pot plants. They stop growing at like 90 r so degrees. Supposedly yu can got a bit higher temp wise if your adding carbon to the atmosphere.

I always try and encourage people who are doing it illegally to not bother unless they are doing it right. If you plant is 9 feet tall and gonna harvest with 4 pounds, its the same prison sentence as a little 9 inch plant thats probably gonna harvest a gram. Your best bet is to make a clone dome out of a trash bag. Get some small dixie cups or red party cups (I use bark plugs, but i have a feeling you dont have access to much) and fill them with some dirt. With the trash bag, make it so it wont fall down, like stand up a stick inside so its like a little tent and has room for your cups. Take several cuttings. Take more than you think you will need and cut the bottom of the stems form the cuttings into a "Y" thing, dont separate them yourself, just make the cut. Also, make the cuttings the end of branches and only cut about 2-3 nodes, maybe 4 if you reaaaaaly want, i go with 2-3. Stick the cups inside your tent and mist with a spray bottle, then stick the cuttings about an inch or so into the cups and re-mist. You could do it a little out of this order. Whatever you do though, take the cuttings when everything else is ready, less stress for them. Mist every 3-6 hours, whenever it starts seeming less humid. Use a clear bag if you can. They dont need a lot of light, just make sure they are getting some light, preferably 24hours. Don't use major lights though, cfls work amazing. Dont water the soil until you take them out of this bag in about 2 weeks. Grow whichever ones turn out well, if you can pop them out and look att here root structure and make sure they have some. The party cups may be to big, but its all about what you have, they will work if you need them to, but your likely gonna loose more than one clone, so make more than you need, don't be afraid, that plant you have is either gonna die, or produce like nothing with the stress its gonna be taking from all of this. You best bet is to do this, then keep the plant you have inside most of the day but bring it outside for a few hours every day. If it makes awesome, if not, then damn, you have clones to fall back on. Don't be afraid to take all of the plants stems for cuttings, your better off. After about a week or two of the couple hours a day, find a spot where there isnt real water issues and plant it. If you can, come water it every now and then. If you feel like it, till the land first, put in some good soil, just make sure its not visible form the air, cover up the new soil with dead leaves. dont leave shit laying around, you can spot a white cup on the forest floor from the sky easily.

Are you sure plants flower outside where you are? it sounds blazingly hot and some places dont get low enough light hours to flower, thats what auto flowers are for.

Btw, your friends a real dbag for selling you a hydro grown plant while you dont have any form of hydro setup.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!

You put it direct sun without hardening it off first, you will burn the shit out of it.

It has to get used to full sun.
