Tragedy of a Plant, but can she make it?

Hey guys. I’m almost embarrassed to post this but I’m trying to learn from my mistakes.

I’ve done a few grows in the past but never ran into any issues (maybe beginners luck, even tho I’m pretty much still a beginner).

I got this Bruce banner#5 as a clone. Needless to say she went thru a wave of different stresses. From not being under an adequate light to getting infested with spider mite to then being put outside starting to flower then being brought back inside and suffering from what I think is nutrient lockout to revegging. Terrible I know but it’s a learning experience for me and I feel terribly about what I put her thru.

Do you Guys think she can make it to be a healthy plant again? She was actually doing amazingly outside, she looked the best and healthy af than she had ever did while inside.

She’s currently in ffof, and now getting plain phd water with some epsom salt in today’s watering after a flush a few days ago because runoff was around 4.8.


Currently under a maxsisun pb1000 110w from wall draw.

all thoughts and criticism are welcome.

Right when I brung her back inside

Your runoff is really low... Or was - you mentioned flushing.

The pictures look like two different times. FFOF is trash so I can't help you there. When you flushed you probably stripped all the nutrients out of it.


SHE'S doing better outside perhaps the conditions are more ideal. All you need to worry is watering. Bringing her inside you must watch your environment. Nature will not walk itself into your grow room.

1) She looks overwatered and deficient. Let her dry
2) if you're not using any cal/mag - google it. Maybe the stems are purple from genetics though. Are you feeding any nutrients?
3) Your lights may not be sufficient. are you under 12/12

Thanks for replying.

when I flushed a few days ago I checked the runoff after flushing and it was brought up to 5.9. I Wanted to wait for it to get really dry again and flush again but I ended up giving a light watering today with epsom salt and dolomite lime which i Forgot to mention above. I let the dolomite lime and epsom salt sit in a bucket with an air stone for 48 hours~. I’m considering buying some calmag until my homemade calmag is ready for use.
Light schedule is currently on 20/4. And the light I’m using should be sufficient as it’s in a 2x2 tent now. I also have a bag seed going in the same tent only a few weeks old but that ones praying and looking pretty healthy.

As far a nutes for BB5, I’ve never given it any nutes. I’m certain the nutes that were in the ffof are depleted because she’s been in that pot since mid August. Initially when I first transplanted i
Could see that i overwatered and then it looked like it got nitrogen toxcicity

Would be ideal to feed her and keep an eye on the new growth,
