my plants died overnight

nevaevagrewb4 · May 10, 2009

This is my first time growing anything other than common household. I have a blueberry and a fat bastard clone growing excellent for about 4 weeks. I used the prone ph/fertilizer tester and it kept saying ph from 6.0 to 6.4 various spots but my fertility kept saying too low so i added a 12-6-6 recommended by the tomato store guy. But after looking beautiful for about 3 days, now overnight they are droopy, necksbroken but still green. They look dead and my soil smells like strong pee. Can anyone help me? Can I bring them back some way? Did I just totally screw my babies?

stop wth neuts for about 2 weeks.....and if ur watering it more then once every 2-3 days then its probably over watering and if ur not then its under watered and stop watering it......and flush them.....bring that ph to 6.7 if there in soil as well

I'm new to this too but I'm gonna guess its nute burn. Maybe to much nitrogen. I would flush immediately.

nevaevagrewb4 · May 10, 2009

z4qqqbs, thanx. I did that. I was watering them everyday and with neuts. someone just told me that miracle grow isnt a good soil. Is it possible to switch soils or is that even a good idea? From the look of them, do you think I can bring these back or should I go back to the drawing board?

nevaevagrewb4 · May 10, 2009

but flushing them will keep the soil too moist won't it?

There's your problem. The Miracle Grow already has time-release ferts in it and every time you water, more nutes are released, plus you're adding more nutes with the water.

nevaevagrewb4 · May 10, 2009

I heard about fox farm soil. Is it a way I could switch them to a different soil like that?

Def a nute burn. Flush them out for the next 2 weeks for sure, and get that pH back up to around 6.7 Your soil is too acidic if it has a "pee" smell.

PS Flushing them means no nutes in your water!

If you want to stay cheap switch to hempy its straight Perlite or a vermculite mix you dont have to ph and its easy. This is my first https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/191189-unknown-strain-organic-hempy-bucket.html look it up it's a nice tech.

i'm going to try that new soil. is there a particular technique to changing them from one soil to a different one?

When it comes to watering any plant, doesn't matter if its cannabis or your grass lawn, water deeply and infrequently. Most plant need their roots to dry out enough to where the plant is not wilting, yet the soil is dry.

Nutrient burn is very easy to accomplish when using them in a soil grow with every watering. Dilution is very important for most fertilizers.

alright dude what is ur light set up and how did u get your lights...u want some foxfarm or anything in the genre.flush ur plants wit 3 gallons of water per 1 gallon of soil...water only when soil is dry 2/3 inchs deep.

nevaevagrewb4 · May 10, 2009

big ups for the advice ole budheavy. I didnt know that because I had heard that i cant give them too much water but I see that I was misinformed. Now i gotta see if I'm gonna be able to transfer out of this miracle grow and still let them live.

Saint0241 · May 10, 2009

dude go buy some foxfarm or any soil in that genre.they will sell it where u bought ur lights from,,flush ur plant wit 3 gal per 1 gal soil...and only water when 2/3 inchs deep in the soil is dry...good luck man.i feel those babbes pain

Saint0241 · May 10, 2009

oo n grab ur base of the stems n hold upside down n gently loosen the dirt till around the roots i meann like ur fuckin a girl wit glass as bones gently...n once u get most the dit loosend pull the pot off n remove anymore dirt around the roots dont expose roots to sun to long...

nevaevagrewb4 · May 10, 2009

i got them about 2 and a half feet under a 1000 watt metal halide with a smaller cheap home depot flourescent grow light about 6 inches from them. I got a 10" oscillating fan blowing on them but i didnt build a grow room . I kinda just got it set up in the basement which gets dark as pitch black at 12 noon once i cover the only 2 small windows i have. but i only have the 2 clones anyways because I'm new and want to see if I can learn from the pros and become productive. So I'll ask till I get good and I got big respect to you guys for your input.
