hey all, this is my first time growing and writing on here..i went away for about 2 days, kept the lights on, and i came back to both of my plants pretty wilted and underwatered..one died for sure but im thinking i might be able to bring the other back to life, what do you think? ive watered it and its just sitting in the sun.

so this is what it looks like now after a few days, the stem has straightened back up and seems to be growing new leaves all the way up the stalk, and ive also put it into a bigger pot. just want to know if there's anything more i can do to make it recover faster/better? any tips would be great...also, it seems as though it's starting to flower?!

Sorry to say, but that thing is FUBAR...

Best advise for you and your plant... start reading every sticky in the basic growing and indoor growing sections, and then some more...:thumbsup:

Best thing you could have done is not cut off all the leaves, not transplanted right away. You should have the soil up to the brim and then it will compact slowly so that only about 1 inch of the pot is showing, looks like you have 3-4 inches. NOT A GOOD IDEA, but you can let her fill out then just dump more soil under her instead of going to a bigger pot.

Looks like there were more problems than under watering. Some good advice, get some soil that will hold moisture. Sandier shit won't do, I use MG and love it. Clones love it too. But find some soil that works best with you.

But cutting the leaves off is probably the worst thing you could have done at this point in time. IMO

I didn't cut the leaves off, a lot of them fell off cause they were dead or crispy haha...however, any places where there were leaves are being replaced by new leaves growing in. im using schultz potting soil with peat moss, perlite and lime for pH balance and its been working well thus far. here's just a pic to show what it used to look like....but anyway i have faith and hope it'll grow back but i know it will take some time

Well sorry, but you didn't mention that!! You sure fooled me! HAHA.

Oh, I forgot adding nutes turns your leaves yellow, my bad.

I figured I'd post a few pics to show how nicely it's recuperating! :dance: I was thinking of putting it into flowering soon but I'm not too sure..probably will wait a couple more weeks

Good idea, as it may not be mature enough to flower yet, but looking at the beginning pics to now, they are looking WONDERFUL compared to the before shots! :thumbsup: Great job in bringing them back from near death!:thumbsup::jointsmile:

Thanks guys can't wait til it grows up nice and big :D got myself a few more babies growing too! the initial leaves look fat so I'm assuming they're indicas..have no idea what the strain is since it's all bag seed. but we'll see!

glad she's perking up for ya :thumbsup: ... she looks to be a hybrid, so far ... leaf width is about 50/50, at this point ... watch out for 'over-loving' your plants, they generally do pretty well without our 'enthusiastic fertilizing, etc.' ... the best time to switch to flowering, is after the stems start alternating, usually after the 5th or 6th set of branches ... this alternating, indicates maturity, and will make a significant difference, regarding yield, etc.. :smokin:

ok so, I should start a grow log or something but I can't help but to post pics! Recently moved our main lady into flowering :thumbsup: some of the leaves are yellowing though, I'm assuming it's cause the pot is getting too small since that's what happened last time before a pot transplant. will try and move it into a bigger pot soon... she's already got lots of hairs pokin out :D
