HELP! ASAP! DYING PLANTS!! WTF is wrong?!?!

[SayWord]

ok. no camera right now so no flix but u can scope my grow jurnal. four of the seven big plants. This morning they were lookin fine and dandy. i came home from work at 1am and theyre wilting beyond belief. i dont even know if its wilting. the leaves are all down and have all shrunk in size and just look like theyre bout to kick the bucket. so the only thing i could think to do was give them a big bucket of water and nutrients, even tho i gave them nutes two days ago.

the plants are like 7 weeks vegging. I fed and watered them 2 days ago. but the soil was pretty fuckin dry tonight. maybe theyre just super hungry and thirsty?? the pots are i dont know how many gallons but like 10 wide, maybe 10-12 inches high. the only other thing that i think it could be besides being hungry/thirsty is rootbound. if they dont perk up from this feeding i'll transplant tomorrow or day after. theyre under cfls, the temp is like 78.


please please any help. i'll check back in the morning.

prolly water

 

[SayWord]

what u mean? forgot to say i ph'd the water/food. oh shit, could it be because i put some lime juice in the water last time i fed them to make the ph go down a lil? would that make them look like shit already?

Some of my plants were like this last week, i know i dont under water/over water, these plants are well looked after, My plants are in flowering though, I could not for the lide of me find out what was wrong, plants looked great at lights out then when lights on came they looked horrific, Still dont know what was wrong. I just did as you did and gave em a good watering with nutes, also added some veg nutes for the nitrogen, Next light on they perled right up again.

no it needs more water

 

[max420thc]

pick the plant up in its container...if it is light..it needs water..your plants might be root bound a little..you will see a STALL in growth..if your container is to small..your roots will take up water from what is left of the soil..could be all root by now..id for sure transplant from a 10inch by ten inch pot...a 10 by 10 pot is less than a gallon of soil..just guessing...the larger the pot..the larger the plant can grow...good luck....

 

[SayWord]

thanks for the help guys. theyve improved since last night. still not 100% tho. thanks for all the tips. i'll transplant soon.

so is it because when i water the pots i divide like 1 gallon of water/nutes between seven pots? does each pot need more than thatu think?

 

[richjames]

Um, YA! As they get bigger they do drink more. I only have two small plants, in about the same size pots as urs an I go through half a gallon on them everytime i water. Do like max said and pickup the pots, water when they feel empty, and then when u water, do so slowly until u get a little bit of drainage, from the bottom of the pots. Do this evertime u water/feed.

you might want to look at getting a meter to see how moist the soil is.

it's either heat stress or lack of water/ or roots sitting in water and you better pray that it's not heat stress. i loss two females last week from heat stress it happen before but that time it was lack of water. if it's a lack of water they should look normal in a matter of hours. heat stress will last about 2 days before you'll know your plants are dead

 

[richjames]

Lol... dmn gotot all that talk about dead plants totally killed my buzz

its serious man. when it's heat stress there's virtually nothing you can do but pray. even after you adjust the temperatures it doesn't really make a difference at that point.

 

[richjames]

I know it's serious shit, I've had my bouts with temps just like any other guy. Hell, at one point when i first started my temps hit 104, and believe me I was prayin! Just liked the blunt response... funny in a sick sorta way i guess.

right before my plants died i had no exaust for my plants for about 3 hours and the temps swelled above 110

 

[richjames]

Thats shitty u lost em. I wass keepin a real close eye on mine anyway, they were still small, but tough enough to make it through. Since then, I've returned the favor to the plants, bought the girls a nice ac unit. temps stay between 73-76 nowdays

how much did it cost(if it's a portable one)? i mean the ducting i got is working well now that it's winter but summertime...

 

[richjames]

It was like $80 at home dpot. It's a portable zenith 5000btu. and it works great. Don't even gotta put water in it or nothin, just plug it in. Has kind of a thermostat knob on it so u can dial in the temps to whatever u want. I plugged mine into the same timer my light's on, best move i've made
