HEAT!

Thanks â?? Iâ??m needing a little encouragement. Very tired of smoking dead leavesâ?¦. Still keep a little geto-bud around for company but my throat canâ??t take much more of tops and leaves.- i need my on bud. Can as little lite as leaving the door open a nite or 2 keep em from buding? If so will they eventually flower if I am more careful? 110 days (in buckets) and no buds is gona send me back to the HOOD. . The Hydro germinated (59) ago 15 day @ 12/12 (but likely left door open a few times also. Still no exact sexing.

Added Fan today.... Still need 2 duct somewhere

A little misleading. The room is 80F at dirt level. The top o the plants in buckets are 8~10â?� from lamp and the Hydro is right in front â??â?�@ 45deg angel.

StinkyAttic, you have been consistently helpful during my first grow. The hydro plants are doing well with sizable buds. The (4) original plant started in 5 gal buckets were growing and budding perfect until a few days ago when (3~4) turned brown and died. I dug down and explored root system. About 25% down the roots were large and appeared healthy â?? 30~40% there appeared to be no roots at all. Bottom 50% of bucket had many very fine / small roots that appeared detached from plant. Things I know I did that were BADâ?¦
1. I moved the plants nearly daily to gain access to hydro
2. I watered to often hopping to overcome heat problem
3. Typically I used tap water without lowering PH or depleting chlorine.
Just has to be root tot. I had plenty of drainage holes but believe I killed them anyway.
Whatdoyouthin?
BTW â?? u in USA? I ask for a specific reason.

Yeah I'm in the States.
Your reasons for root rot include the REAL culprit, which is overwatering. Moving the plants is fine for them, don't worry. And I have never used anything BUT untreated tap water!!! Overwatering plus heat= GREAT conditions for mold to grow.
Nextt ime you see that problem strting, try drilling the sides of the buckets fulla holes to let more oxygen in. I have never used hydrogen peroxide, but it IS a possibility to treat root rot. Also, Serenade fungicide used as a drench could help if it is not too far along. If a plant is showing signs of root rot, another thing to do is get it into a spot where it is not getting the full blast of your big lights, because it is not able to suck up moisture fast enough to replace that lost by transpiration.

thanks again...

StinkyAttic,
Do u see anything on attached that concern you. Some buds look perfect som look like they are not sure what they are yet. Then the total dead vegitation is concerning. Lastly is Bud1 ready to harvest? thanks again

Yikes, they ALL look scorched. Those curled-under leaves aren't good.
As for ready to harvest, between the flash and not being able to see the trichs, it's impossible to say. You have to look at the hairs, and then at the trichs to pin it down. But the hairs DO darken prematurely under heat stress conditions.

Although mine are ok i think that my 2 suffered with heat stress cos all the other 6 died and they looked just like the first pictures on the thread ,but as said prev in thread i added a normal 4" household fan just extracting out of the grow room itself and it seems to help, it gets it down about 8 to 10 degs i reckon ,but if it gets to hot i open my roll up door and although i waste light they def didn,t slow down at all.:smokin:

I imagine those plants have several issue's HEAT,OVER-NUTE,OVER-WATER,PH,and SEVERAL DEFICIENCIES DO TO NUTE LOCK-OUT.

but other than that......:)
