hello, so i came home from work last night. checked on my girls and fount that my 2nd best plant looked like it had been starved of water for WEEKS, plant was completely limp even the 1/2 thick stem was flexible. i checked the moisture even tho i had watered 2 days befor and it was fine, then i noticed the soil was sticky and kinda shiny. instantly i knew what it was, my bottle yeast and sugar for co2(nearly 2 weeks old so it was ready to be changed and therefor had alot of alchohol) had been tipped by my fan into the pot... so my plant got wattered with about 20 oz of alchohol yeast and sugar.i flushed it good, let water run threw the soil for a good 15 mins, misted the leaves, and now what can i do? anything? think she'll survive? she's a few weeks into flowering, somewhere between 2 and 4, closer to the start of 3 i think
thanx

she will be stunted for few days at least before any improvement shows...marijuana is pretty resilient. i have never dealt w/ that first hand though so i could be way off

oh dang... Yeast is a living organism and could seriously affect your plants microbes in the root zone. It might be screwed. You could flush but I doubt seriously that it would help; yeast is a very hardy organism.

yeah dude sounds rough

you gave your plant a yeast infection! Yuck!'

try some over the counter cream, wipe it on the leaves, and you should be fine.

no but seriously, just flush em and hope for the best man, sorry for your loss

well its final, she's dead.... but she made it so far... a fan chopping her in 1/2 fan dying and temps hitting 120 degrees, think i could make any use of her? she has about 25 buds about the size of your little finger nail. lots of trichomes but not fully formed, about 20% don't have the mushroom shape yet, only the stalks, the rest are small and clear. think its worth using for anything? iso or butane extract maybe? i don't think i'd want to smoke the actual buds because of the yeast and how early it is. any advise would be a big help. thanx

Is she really dead? Just grow her till she gives up...so you know you didn't.
Good Luck!

ok so. NEVER EVER LET YEAST/SUGAR FOR CO2 FALL IN YOUR SOIL.....

tried smoking a few of the buds. tasted TERRIBLE... iso hash, smelled like the yeast/sugar combo for co2. said screw it and junked it all. oh well
