Grim's first Grow !

Acoustic - I've been thinking on this for several days lol, thanks for the reply.

As for the lack of light, I don't think it could be because I was keeping a 250 watt HPS CLOSE to them for 24/0. I think in fact, they might have been getting too much light so I moved it away a little bit.

I do know they were definitely overwatered a little bit so I've been staving off of it and letting the pots dry out, which the soil is actually feeling pretty dry which is nice to know.

All of the new growth looks fantastic.
I think what's happening, is since it was basically forced into flowering right off the bat, the stress is taking it's toll and it's dropping it's first set of real leaves. I'm hoping it survives, like I said, all new growth looks great.

Has anyone tried Dutch Master Reverse?

Well then..

today the sickly plant's pot was pretty dry so I decided to water it.

I decided to bend down and smell the soil, just to check and see if it was fresh.

It smells like mildew.

Fantastic.

What to do now? I have no idea, going to do some research on root rot complications.

$#%@ That'll teach me to overwater.

-3 points for overwatering to begin with.

-3 points for having my lights so close to the soil.

It's all an experience, right?

Keep looking up info and you'll be OK everything is right at ur fingertips.... Yea just make sure the soil is completely dry at the bottom before you water

1 out of 3 of my runties is actually perking up a little. Which is suprising considering the abuse it's been through.

Anyways, as for the soil I'm going to dillute half a capful of bleach in a gallon of water and see if that won't at least kill all of the bacteria.

Everything else is looking mighty fine. I started germing a few more today..
you know, now that I have a better idea of wtf is going on.

<3

What up Grim... Im right along with you on the first timer experience here... but Buk, Mand, Latewood, Harv, Puff and others keep my ass in line so i dont over-do anything... they are kind of the Professors of Pot. haha. Anyways Grim, consider repotting to some new FRESH soil and put a thin layer of garden gravel in the bottom with a little sand, that will prevent sitting water in the bottom of your pots. ;) Smart to germinate a few more, it can only help you not hurt you :D Hope i could help, and if u have any questions just holla homie... later on :)

Stay UP :rasta:

Awesome - Thanks Acoustic :cool:
I actually have a layer at the bottom of this pot, it drains excellent it's just that I was giving my plants a bit too much "love" in the beginning.

The plant isn't really drooping all that much, it's just that the lower leaves are dying off :o

A little purple on the stems, but it's sister who's flourishing has the same tinge and doesn't seem to mind it at all. :D

-The sick plant is growing FASTER than the healthy one! :confused:

Yeah, I definitely think there are some people here who know their stuff. I won't name any names, but you know who you are and I appreciate all of the help in every shape and form :stoned:

Pics?

Pics.

Here comes the handicapped plant:

A few shots of the vibrant one:

Update: Yeah.. that mildew smell, well I might have been smelling the plants. I'm a dumbass, I know. I'll keep you posted.

Or the yeast.

What are some tell-tale signs of root rot?
