fucked up birthday can i smoke a plant only at 6 weeks flower

well its my birthday worked from 5 this morn to 7 30 pm got home finally. got my mail pipe came from fdd today good timin for birthday so this is good. now i go check my plant and she looks like shes beggin for here life. dead leaves all over looks like root rot
oh no panic time call local hydro store of course there closed so i dont think she will make it. im gonna assume she will be all but dead by time i get home tommorow. if she is do ya think i can dry her and smoke her? she is in her 6th week of flower. well im gonna open my package from FDD and put it to use my girl did get me some chem dog,n.lights, and something i never heard of santa maria kush. so im gonna smoke and try not to get to upset about the plant my first grow and i thought i was gonna make it the whole way. oh well live and learn

You can. Wont be nearly as potent but will get ya high anyway

i all ways smoke my cut off leaves

lets see a pic, i bet shes not dead.

no shes not dead yet but i dont know if she can pull through. im hopin she does. i can post a pic tommorow. lights are off now. but in the link below is a pic from yesterday she looks worse than that though that was yesterday mornin.

what have you done to help her? flush yet?

you'd be surprised how much abuse they can take, get us a current pic, in the pics from yesterday they looked fine to me, I doubt its a game over situation, they may look bad but they probally arent, the new pics would really help to confirm if thats accurate or not.

i didnt notice you said cant get any till tommorow at first, lol, I'll be around to check out the pics when you can get them.

yes i did flush but thats it i got home to late to make it to the hydro store to see if they had anything. and my lights go off at 830 so ill grab pics tommorow any tidbits of help would be welcome. thx all for checkin in and tryin to help

well how did you flush? did you use clearex or anything? did you give each pot at least 3 times the pot size in water?

just straight water and yes gave it well more than three times potsize i have no clearex this is my first grow is that what i want to pick up

nah...i would certainly do another flush tomorrow tho, are you ph'ing the water that you flush with?

no i just flushed with my water that i leave out its ph is 6.5

well im watchin for the new pics tomorrw

I don’t want to swerve the thread but I just have to ask a DWC question. I’ve done dirt for almost 4 decades and while I have read bits here and there about other types of growing I never paid all that much attention or thought it was all that worth me remembering so maybe I read it and just can’t remember … but the way a question/suggestion and then its reply were worded made me need to ask.

Being a dirt guy I understand dirt/pot flushing. That is simple and clear to me when it comes to dirt.

As I understand DWC the plants are suspended above a nutrient solution in a net and the roots of the plants are fully submerged in the nutrient-rich water below.

Unless I misread the original message I believe the question was about something being grown in a DWC system.

It was asked/suggested; “flush yet?” … “did you give each pot at least 3 times the pot size in water?” The basic reply was; “yes gave it well more than three times potsize.”

Would someone explain to this dirt dummy how you figure pot size when using a net with some matter in it to hold the plant that would if growing in soil would be where the above soil portion would begin, and the roots of the plant are fully submerged in a solution?

On what is the "pot" volume amount based to then know how much fresh clean water to provide that will be at least three times the "pot" volume amount?

Not having a clue how it is done my guess would have been that some percentage or ratio or amount of the fluid in the reservoir would have been replaced with fresh clean hopefully PH’d water and in steps end up with nothing but hopefully PH’d water, or at least very close to that with possibly some miracle juice you hydro people use and don’t tell us dirt-daubbers about for fear we might find a way to use it too.

I guess I should have just researched it but I thought possibly there might be a short simple answer like a net of a certain size would equate to a certain pot size or something short and easy someone could fill me in on.

If its detailed just tell me to research, I don’t want things to get any more sidetracked then a short simple answer.

well im not completely sure either but what i did was flush like a dirt bagger then put just straight water in the res for last nite when i get home today i plan to do again and refill res with nutes.

alright heres those pics help me if ya can please and thank you

I dont know too much about DWC and how it applies here... But that plant just looks thirsty. I dont see any other major problems really...

As i thought, you greatly overestimated the damage, you will lose some leaves but that plant is nowhere near dead and unsaveable. lets get into the details here, what and how much are you feeding, what are your temps at? anything else u can think of that would help us?

Man that thing will lose a bit of yield but is nowhere near dead. Looks like she could use lots of water, but I use soil so might be different for hydro.

You can definitely save her! SO have a happy birthday! haha...
