I have 3 auto bubba growimg in 75-81 degree temps depending on lights being on or off. Averaging 50% humidity. Its in soil. My biggest healthiest one literally just died? In less than 24 hours of perfect condition. The other two still look perfectly fine. I watered them yesterday morning and took photos right before bed last night. All was well when i woke up but when I got home from work it was just limp and lifeless!! Is there any way to save this auto?!?!?! First pic is of all of them last night, its the biggest one. Second photo is of the plant now 20190630_190739.jpg 20190701_174144.jpg 20190701_174157_HDR.jpg

I don't think she's dead. Very unhappy, but not dead.

I could be wrong tho.

It looks like you supercropped? Could it just be stress from training?

Ive never even attempted training trimmin fiming cropping, NOTHING! I have completely left them alone to do their own thing as this is my girst grow and wanted to avoid the stress

This is the only thing i could think!! I went 5 days between watering this last time tho so idk. I transplanted the roots are still white and arent mushy tho. I dont really know how root rot would look?
5 days - probably not from overwatering unless the water's not draining...

What brand of soil are you using?

Have you checked the pH? I think I see a lot of mulch/bark which can get acidic as it decomposes.

I recommend using good soil like FoxFarm. It's high quality and has never disappointed.

Whatever it is, I don't think you're going to save the first one. The stem has a sort of rotten look where it's folded, not just on the top but the little branches on the bottom, too. If it's soil related, you may want to repot in different soil and rinse the root ball with ph balanced water on the other 2...

I recommend photoperiod plants instead of autos. The clock is running on this one. Transplanting autos usually sets them back. Good luck.

Im using some organic potting soil. I believe like natures care organic potting soil? Or something. I honestly dont know the PH. I just dont understand how it can go from so healthy to so bad sooo fast.

If you look closely you can see that the soil has dried out to the point where it has shrunk down from the sides of the pot. Water the poor thing.
I watered it yesterday morning and the soil is still wet all throughout it. All ive read is the knuckle test method.. Is this not accurate? The leaves feel very moist, flimsy, very soft like little effort would rip them right up.

Ya the knuckle test method works. What is your humidity?

That's exactly what wilting from lack of water feels like until the plant has dried out to the point where it's unrecoverable. Water it until there's runoff then stop. That's how much water she needs if you're going to go days between watering.

I would take them out of that soil...rinse them in some ph’d water... and let them recover in something hempy style...she dying and very seriously doubt it will just bounce back by just leaving it alone...

I rarely see a stem totally fall over unless she dying... does look like a root problem...
Leaning pretty hard... I wouldn’t just watch it.. the clock is ticking on them autos...

If nothing else prop it up!!!
If that all happen over night.. after watering... it has to be logging... maybe take the light off it...

Looks like mine plants after a fail cloning!!jm2c

Ya how does the soil feel? I couldn't go 5 days without watering, but it would be nice.
The soil is wet all throughout it. It was fine before i watered it, it was fine after i watered it, it was fine this morning (24 hours after watering). Ive been going by the finger test method. I have since repotted it and when taking it out all of the soil was comoletely moist. It stayed solid and didnt really fall apart at all.
