First plant. Next time i will do a journal only found out about them recently!

About 2 Months old this plant is and i've been feeding it 10/10/10 it's whole life every other watering.
transplanted it from dixie cup to i think 3/4 gallon i'm not too sure but i cut the pot a little.

just added vigoro 15-30-15 bold blooms and within 1 day it started to go DOWNhill.

EDIT: Sorry about your neck breaking..

just flushed with some rock salt seeing as i didn't have any epsom and then added the 10/10/10 plant food.

I'm scared i've lost her. is there any hope?

thanks and i guess this is my introduction as well!

possibly too much feeding ( maybe not right nutes ) and possible transplant shock

And then there's the Rock Salt issue.
NTS, Plants do not like Sodium chloride !


If you can still see chunks of the salt, pick it off and flush the crap outta that girl.
And it still may be too late, but IMHO that's what I'd do.

Dude, maybe to late.
But, there is always hope.
You added Rock Salt etc. Not good.
You can try flushing again....But, I don't think it is going to help.
At this point if your desperate. Might want to consider doing something drastic.

Change the Soil.
I would fill a bucket with water, pull the plant from it's pot, submerge roots in water and gently wash off old soil.
Transplant into new soil, Water and put her in a corner overnight. Next day toss her back under the lights., No Nutes.
Then Wait for the best.

That's what I would do.

Good Luck

ROCK SALT!? WTF!

It's okay you're new. Plant will recover, get new soil (with no added nutrients) transplant it, feed it water when needed and allow it 1-2 weeks to recover. Should return to normal soon. Start at 1/4th strength nutrients after the plant has recovered and work your way up.

Looks like over watering.
Should of changed all the soil.
Did you flush?
Take some clones they still might make it.
Go back to veg to allow recovery time.
Get the sitting water out from under her.
Let the soil dry out a little to promote root growth.
When u water dont over do it.
After top 2-3 inch of soil dry then water with only 6.2-6.5 ph water
2-3 days later water with 1/4 strength veg nutes. also 6.2-6.5 after added nutes.
If she comes back 1/4 strength bloom nutes first then up.

Good Luck

So are you... welcome to RIU ;)

I have to admit that by looking at OPs original pics, I couldn't tell with 100% certainty whether part of the problem was over or under watering. In some areas, where the leaves looked full and were droopy but pointing back to the main stalk, it appeared over-watered. But the overall look of the plant appears like the leaves are just hanging there dead-like, which signifies under-water.

Either way, in this case, I'd be listening to Ringsixty, newb or not.

While your ladies are hopefully recovering read up on how to grow buddy! Your plants are gonna need allot more attention when they start to flower, and need different nutes to boot. Do you know how to sex
the plants?

You don't want to waste your time growing boys do you? Read read read!

That plant looks shot. You are wasting your time/electric. That plant will never yield anything. Start something new a.s.a.p.! You took the picture right after you watered. That plant looks wilted/hanging as if the soil was underwatered/bone dry. Are you letting the soil dry out to much between waterings?

so many people and advice i wish i could answer you all but thats alot of time!!!

anyway yes Na-Cl and marijuana don't mix.

I've got 4 new babies going now :) going the fox farm ocean soil because i hear it's great and the im going to be on their nute schedule that someone posted on these forums i think. there is way more to growing than anyone can imagine until they actually start their first!!

i'm reading but i learn best by experience and failures make you better ! it sucks to see something to beautiful die but this just makes room for something newer and better!

thanks for all the help you guys are truly amazing!
