Will she survive? What else can I do to save her?

Introvertalentstarted grow question a year ago

Last time I had a question about my plant looking lifeless. So I decided to repot due to the old pot had no drainage. I know it's very risky but I had no choice. 6 days passed, I raised nutrients but she still looks lifeless, however at least she still grows 1 cm every day.

Solved

Leaves. Dropping off

Plant. Wilting

just to back up something -- if it can fit in through the roots, it's going into the plant. it is a semi-permeable membrane that is not selective beyond physical size of the molecule trying to enter. the only time "nitrogen" can't enter is if it is some source that needs to be first broken down my microbes before it can enter. the plant does not control the microbes. if it fits, it's going in... there is no selective procecss taking place except for physical limitation on size of the moelcule.. it's more like a sieve and not active transport. flushing is extremely harsh thing to do to a plant. always avoid it, if possible. with soil you want 50/50 drainage amendment - perlite/vermiculite et al. with coco you want 70/30 - it needs less because it holds less per volume. fertilization is like riding a bike. too many variables in soil. you have to learn that balance yourself. get a leaf chart and start making intelligent adjustments -- preferably a bit early before plant takes a nosedive. Looks like nitrogen deficiency. Maybe, pH is too low? Something to investigate, but usually ph issues come with more than 1 symptom coinciding. the droopiness could be related to irrigation habits but also other things too. so to water -- water entire substrate with no dry pockets. alittle runoff is fine. don't let it sit in runoff. Repeat when top 1" dries. Simple as that. How frequently you fertilize depends on how concenrated it is when you add it. every 3rd irrigation? every 2nd? just depends on personal choices. More frequent with proportionally lower concentrations generally results in faster growth rates, but also results in more effort from you.

just to clarify. roots 100% take in nitrogen in flower. Nitrogen is used throughout the while process of the plant, its why it is a main nutrient, they use lots of it. NPK. They also use lots of S,Ca,M as secondary mains. N is needed for all life stages, the plants do not just stop using it, that's pseudoscience growBro bullshit. Don't grow weed in a container that has no drainage if your new to things, lots can go wrong. The roots suffer, and things build up easily. Especially if your using liquid nutrients in a soilless medium. Soil can take a bit more abuse but still hurts yea in the long run. Honestly, go grab a hot poker/drill and burn/drill some holes into the bottom of that pot, also the other pot your using looks to be a fabric one. it drains just fine. so give them some feeds and flush out a lot of extra to make up for anything that might be buildup in the medium. Use or get a EC pen to help you find the sweet spot and Manage its PH using strips or another pen. Start a diary and keep tract of it all. and learn better for next run. one last not on watering. if you medium does not contain enough perlite it can compact and get supersaturated easy when doing these flushes then cause more issues. Most bag mixes do not contain enough. Good Luck!

I would drilled holes in the old planters so they could drain. Easier on them than transplanting a grown plant. Other than that, roots will regrow in some time, but may affect the entire grow. When in flower, 3 weeks of stacking flowers and 2 to 3 weeks of bulking and the remainder is ripening.

I would start by removing the dead or about to die leafs the plant have lot of problems she trying to heal her self and she doing flowers. Some calmag will help i think try to cover the buds with your hand and spray calmag on leafs when light is off

Couple of things, could of been a build up of nutes from previous potting causing a lockout. Could be pour drainage and it caused root rot. Could be a deficiency, looks like a nitrogen deficiency. That could come from just not enough nutes, or to many causing a lockout and it can't absorb them, or root rotten due to poor drainage and it can't absorb nutes. Regardless get a ppm ph meter and always check runoff. Get a container that allows for runoff at the bottom. Check it. If runoff is less then 200ppms then ppms you feed it, then it's deficient and needs more food. But if runoff is over 300ppms more then the ppms you feed it, then it's to much feed and its going to lock out, it will need a flush and restart. Regarding roots, adding a container to allow drainage will fix this issue, fabric pots or air pots allow the roots to self prune at the edge of pots, they won't get root bound by wrapping around and around.. also they allow them to get oxygen, finally they will allow runoff so you can check ppms. Do these things and you will learn what your problems are. Check them ppms and you'll see if your deficient or over and locking out. If neither check them roots and see if their brown and have any fungus rotten smell and you'll see you need more drainage. Hope I helped and explained clearly enough. Good luck

Look at your plant. The bottom is yellow and the top is greener than the bottom. The plant is moving its Nitrogen from the bottom to save the tops. At his stage of your plant cycle it’s called the Die-Back. The plant didn’t get enough Nitrogen during the stretch or barely enough to support it. The thing is that the roots don’t process Nitrogen at this stage anymore, they are only processing P and K. This is why adding Nitrogen doesn’t solve the problem… Keep in mind you didn’t make any error, but you learned something very important for the next crops. Just keep on growing and you will keep on learning 😉

@Robert thanks for your reply, do you think should I flush her?

I believe this is from a watering issue. I would guess you got some root rot from previous potter and no drainage holes. This could also be a build up of fertilizers in soil if you were adding nutes before. Drainage is important when adding nutes to rinse out old ones to avoid salt build up. This will cause nasty ph imbalances causing deficiency and toxicity signs at same time. The leaves won't repair themselves. Once they are damaged, it is there. That is all I can figure based on information.
