I had to leave home for a couple of days, and left my trusted flatmate with a bottle of fertilized water and instruction to water the plant using HALF the water in the bottle. Long story short, the plant received approx. 1 liter of fert water instead of half.

And I come back to the thing you can see on the pics. :eek:

It started flowering 9 days ago and was fine then ;/
Is this overwatering? Nute burn? A reminder not to ever, ever, ever leave a plant under the care of your flatmate?

Is there actually any hope of recovery for this plant?
Thanks in advance for all help and any tips.

so, no ideas? the plant is still deteriorating, PH was at about 5, raised it to normal levels, but that still did not help.

hi babe do not despair this happened to me a few years ago simply repot in a slightly larger pot and continue to water as normal also a little nutrient will help i used ionic soil grow 7ml per litre water it has a ph of 5.5-6.2 also a little rock wool in the soil will help with extra moisture

in my oppinion it is severe nute burn.. I would start with flushing the soil completely, repot and add some dolomite lime to your soil. keep the ph around 6.5. I would start there... repot as well but wait a day after you flush it to try and help heal those roots etc... Just my oppinion and that is all. Good luck

moral of the story.....dont trust flatmates with plants :)

my flatmate keeps leaving the light in the growroom on and uses the dryer too much (plants in the laundry) which has sent my plant mouldy lol, he has been banned form the laundry :)

Flushed the soil, but I think the plant didn't make it. It's now nicely dry and yellow with only a bit of green here and there. Ah well, it was my first one anyway, and I learned a lot from it.

We will rebuild! ;]
