Dead for good ? I did the mistake yesterday of dig...

masterpickle2started grow question 3 years ago

Dead for good ? I did the mistake yesterday of digging her out to check (she was easy to dig out since she had no roots). I did another mistake, i cut the tip that had a a darker color (I tought maybe it was root rot) Now it is in this state. Is it time to give up ?

Solved

Leaves. Curl down

Idk where ppl hear autos don't like to be uppotted. If done right and not disturbing root structure uppotting makes for stronger roots. So the whole not transplanting autos is a myth. Autos don't like newbies messing with the root growth. Uppotting is perfectly fine. But taking a seedling and uprooting her is a no no. You should not mess with the root structure unless it's root bound. Transplanting should be seamless and your hands should only be touching the outside of the substrate and place it straight into a hole and fold the soil over it. As for this plant. Give it 2 more days, she might take hold again? How did you place her back into the substrate? Did you punch a pen down and place the roots down into the substrate or did you just place it back into a hole? If so, she's root bound and strangling herself.

Oh dear... autoflowers do NOT like to be transplanted/disturbed in any way... and cutting off a part of the root? Yeah, mate... I think you need to give up on this one as she's suffered too much stress and her rhythm is gone... Pop another seed and make sure you're putting it into the pot she's going to finish in... don't do ANYTHING to her aside from making sure she's got plenty of humidity around her for the first week or so (don't even water her as her roots won't be developed enough to take it on - for the first week they usually only get water via humidity and it's easy to "drown" them)... Take a look at my diaries for Blackberry Moonrocks if you want some guidance/ideas.... Good luck!

Hey Masterpickle2, She looks that way because indeed there might be no roots left so she cant get water, when she can't get water the leafs will look like that. You should't had digged her up because in my believe, the little root she had, was cut off. Also you have given her to much water on daily bases i gues, you should only give her water when your soil gets dry like i said before. In the previous question a grower told you to water her again, but when i look at your picture, you already did so he didn't help you with the solution. Since you don't have budget for another seed, it doesn't hurt to see what will happen in the comming days. Please don't make your soil more wet then it already is. Sometimes because of that, your roots can like rot away and disapear what could have happend. At least you learned more now about the first weeks of growing. There are some Breeders or websites that give away free seeds thought, you should take a look :) I hope to see you arround again :)
