Am I just over watering?

I’ve also been in 5 gallon pots but am about to move to 10 gallon

For a healthy plant to go to full wilt so fast only a few scenarios exist -

You chopped its roots off.
The soil dried quick fast and past permanant wilting point.
You just planted it in pure horse shit or something so strong in nutrients the roots stopped absorbing anything.
You put a hair dryer on it.

Stuff like that.

Well, unless we have gremlins blow drying their hair in veg at night, none of those scenarios apply . Any other scenarios you can think of ?

That is definitely dampening off.

I would also suggest allowing the soil to dry.
You can also aerate the soil by perforating it with say a bamboo stick. This can help quickly provide the roots with oxygen.

Also, I understand peoples opinion of "it's too far gone to save"....However.

I have seen extremely sick plants recover and live. (i.e. like 1 leaf and the plant cam back)

Hope it recovers and you see a huge harvest!

Cheers

Awesome! Thank you for the encouragement! I’ll hold off on the autopsy for now and try your suggestions!

My problem (one of, lol ) is, I haven't figured out how to make an organic soil that can make it all the way through flower yet, so I wind up feeding salt based nutes after about week 4 of flower. Sorry to get off topic OP. I need to dial in my soil....I've been using Subcools recipe (RIP).

I'm also in a very humid location, so that makes a difference I imagine.

I agree that they could most definitely come back but you are running a fairly big operation. This knowledge is worth more than one plant imo. Good luck either my friend.

Others say damping off, i dont see much signs it was that and thats not normally so quick to wilt but really i cant say. It just looks like the plant lost its water quickly.

Well I was tied up all day and got to the farm to discover my employee had jumped the gun and destroyed the plants, so no autopsy I’m afraid. We’ve made changes to prevent over watering and will monitor. I’ll post back if more plants do this

Sinister actor in the mix I says, in previous reply. Maybe the employee is fuckin your shit up on purpose. Or possibly sheer ignorance.

Are you top dressing or feeding teas? I’m still in early flower, with my first organic grow, but I’ve been told that weekly top dressing and/or teas are important to keep the soil going through the entire grow. Pot size is also very important. I’ve been told you “may” be able to get away with 7 gal pots but a minimum of 10 gal pots is recommended.

I've flowered out in 3 to 5gal top dressing n teas no prob
