Lemon Skunk Ladies Need Serious Help

Hey everyone, I have 4 Lemon Skunk plants (origin unknown) that are not doing so good. They just started their 3rd week of flower yesterday. Last week the temp in my room went up to 90F one day from my duct work tearing open while I was asleep. Ever since then these ladies started too droop really bad. I did not think it was an over watering issue so I fed them a nice nute solution with the rest of my plants (master kush/blue cheese). Afterwards I thought it could be an over watering problem and I just watered them again...ugh. It's been a solid 5 days without giving them anything. I figured if it was over watering I should let them dry out real good. The pots are super light and it seems like I should feed them again, but they haven't changed at all. Here's some pics:



I know there is some light burn on one of the plants but that isn't a huge concern since that happened during veg, some 5 weeks ago. This droop has been the same for a good 8 days now with little to no change.

What does this look like to you? Do you think it can it be fixed? My next step to fixing was going to be a nice h202 solution to get some oxygen to the roots. If this is the right thing to do, how much h202 (3% drug store strength) should I add per gal of water??

+rep for any and all good help!!!

my eyes arent great but they dont look like they are going to die, in shock no doubt....id say carry on as you are...........

I would say a tad overfed, flush the pot that is dry and then feed with a light food solution...

Ah shit, forgot to mention that two days ago I looked under their pots (5gal warrior pots) and on the end of a few roots there was a tiny bit of white mold, which is what had me thinking about doing the h202 bath.

The lights are about to go off for the day but tonight I will try flushing and feeding them mildly with nutes. Would it hurt to throw some h202 in with the nute solution? If not, how much h202 per gal?

Much thanks for the quick replies fellas

are you sure it's mold? Good healthy roots are supposed to look white and fuzzy

Well I'm no mold expert but it was only on one or two roots of each plant, and just on the tip. When I wiped it with my finger it came off. That's why I say mold.

These warrior pots keep moisture near the roots with no good air movement.

hows the humidity in your room? especially when the lights go off? I had a problem in one of my flowering rooms that the humidity would jump to like 75-80% when the lights went off, had to throw a dehumidifier in there..

I have a 70 pint dehumidifier that I roll in during lights off but it stays in the 40's. 44-49% rH

give it a go see what happens

^^Give what a go? The h202 or the flush followed by a light nute solution?

Dubbz0r can you post a shot of what you believe is mould, and is it on the roots or at the stem?

Here's the thing...
Underneath these warrior pots there's a cone shape that points up. There are little slits to allow more air to the roots. Most of the pots have roots sticking out of those slits. Once the roots start to stick out and hit the air they dry up if I don't keep it moist. The few that weren't dried up had mold on them. It wasn't a huge amount or anything that freaked me out, but it is there.

Right now the lights are off and the rH is at 53% (never goes above 55%). I'll try to snap a pic before I flush tonight but don't expect to see much. It's underneath the pot so I'll have to find a way to hold the camera and the pot at the same time.

It sounds like the conical area under your warrior pot, was a highly humid area since it's surrounded by wet dirt with little airflow.
If you had fuzzy snow white roots sticking out, then the fuzz was just the feeder roots that actually absorb the nutrients/moisture.

If you've ever taken clones, when roots start to show they are covered in fuzzies.

Unless it really is mold and you're sure of it.

It's tough to say now. I haven't seen it since. I'm going to get something for the pots to sit on so air flows underneath better. Right now they're just sitting in their drain pans and there isn't much room for air to get up in there. Not sure why I didn't do this sooner...
