Help!
My 3 plants are wilting and dying! It's across all three plants and mostly attacking the new growth; I'm new at this and don't know what I'm doing wrong, but my best guess is it's either over-watering/root rot or I accidentally nute burned them.
I can't isolate it since I had just transplanted the two smaller plants, started using a new hose with shower head, instead of hand watering, and started using an insecticide soap and neem, peppermint mix.

Any help from the tgr pot gurus would be a life saver!
Tia

Word. Normally I'd stay up till about 4am in a ADD trance doing tons of research and studying up, but raising a 5 month old has cramped my style. Lol

^thats pretty much how we roll. We don't water till they are droopy. Yield goes down but it's some nice reefer.

I've heard people talking about pinching/crushing the stem at the base but I've never down it. Thoughts?

Thanks again, Bobby; If shocking plants makes for potent buds then this shit is going to be cripple. Lol

STEEP- Ya, training plants is important to increasing yield. I've FIM'd my plants

Wrt crushing stems: crushing is another way to break apical dominance to train your girls to grow bushier. You would crush where you would normally prune. Crushing the main stem at the base would just stunt the entire plant.

The idea is that damaging the stem will encourage the plant to act as if its been topped but that crush damage will heal and you wont lose part of the plant that you normally would by topping or fim-ing.

Doctor...! I had no idea!

It's called Supercropping. Typically done by hobby growers as it is not very viable for large operations.

I have never subscribed to the "stressing your plant is good" way of thinking though. You usually end up with longer maturation or a hermie.



MPPG: It looks like you are experiencing PH induced nutrient lock out.

Thanks Bobby!

I was going to flush them good tomorrow with water and let them dry out out.
I got the neem oil and soap to address the pest.

Can the wilted leaves be saved or should I trim them once the plants stabilize some?

I'd test the water run off and see what the PH is.

Are you feeding them or relying on your soil mix to do that?

Havn't checked the runoff ph, but the well water comes in between 6.2-6.8

Nute lock out was my early concern on the larger plant, since it's long been showing stubborn signs of yellowing towards the bottom of the plant. I stick the nutes (botanicare veg pro) to them, and also mixed some horse manure in the large one as well, so I was immediately concerned that I used manure that was too fresh and hot, but that doesn't really explain why it happened to all three plants at the same time.

The water PH seems high to me. I ran PH around 5.8 but I used Coco and synthetic nutrients.

You've got a lot of stuff going on in your soil. Hard to tell what it is but Id be willing to bet the water is a common denominator.

[berko]

interesting idea, i take it this is with clones?

No, any kind of start. Crushing kind of occupies the middle ground between topping and low stress training.

FIM trim worked this year for me; lots of 7 and 8 tops.

Yeah, those 100mg's are a fuzzy little surprise if you've only done 10's.
