lol, your funny. Theres no way to tell. But what I can tell you is go ahead and put it out of its misery. Its not going to yield anything, its more trouble than its worth, and not worth the risk. Trust me, you'll be very disappointed in the end with it. :twocents:
Awww, you can turn it around if you do your research. That plant is suffering from a nute imbalance and needs to be flushed and fertilized with the proper pH water and a VERY weak nute solution. It looks burnt.
That was not the news I wanted to hear. IS there any chance to save it? This thing is my baby. What type of nut solutions should I use? Any advice you can give me to help save my plant I will be forever grateful for. thanks!
Well the most I can tell you is that it looks like it's a Low Ryder but I could be wrong (even though I dunno any other plants that would be that small and flowering :p). Other than that listen to Stinky.
that is not a 3 week old plant...it is far older than that.
No, I took over from my friend growing it 3 weeks ago. he was growing it before me. well, I flushed my plant, what should I do now?
lol, it will all be a lost cause but if you feel like wasting you time. Flush with the bucket method, ( get a 5 gallon bucket filled with PH corrected water, submerge the entire pot into the bucket, until bubbles stop comming up, drain into another bucket, the more yellow, brownish color to the water that drains out the worse shape your in, do this until the water draining out is clear.) After you do this, let her recover for most likely about a week. Check you PH level. Post a photo up, then I'll tell you where to go from there. The biggest problem is that you got to happy with the nutes and now the soil is toxic with them and your plant cannot absorb any of them because shes locked up. That and not enough light. Like I said before, you'll still be very disappointed in the 'yield' more than likely it will be about 2 dimes worth dried and cured if that. But if nothing else you learned from you experience. By the way, any plant stressed and mistreated if it doesn't go herm will be around that size.
It looks tiny but old because it's stunted from abuse, not because it's necessarily lowryder.
A major cause of stunting in container-grown cannabis is
a) it was rootbound at some point in it's life or
b) your soil pH is all fuckulated or
c)it has been overwatered or your drainage sucks or your soil is too dense and clayey, therefore it has root rot or no O2 in the root zone and is ACTING like it's rootbound.
So go get yourself a gallon of distilled water, pour the whole thing through your plant, and save all the water that drains out the drain holes.
Test it for Ph. I bet it's going to come up low. That's what the plant looks like to me anyway.
When you figure out the pH, then you can fix the problem by watering it with pH adjusted water.
Meanwhile don't start fertilizing until you get that part straightened out.
Then you can use 1/4 strength nutes. Ones designed for cannabis are ideal, but if you're cheap you can use schultz bloom plus available at walmart and home depot. It's not the best, but then again, your plant is already kind of sad so trying to maximize yield is going to be a losing battle.
Write this one off as practice.
wow, thats almost EXACTLY what I posted!
thanks alot for all the advice guys. Its been flushed, now all I can do now is wait. Even if it is a pointless try, this is my first plant, and Ive gained alot of knowledge and experience from it. My next one wont suffer this ones failures...
I know seriously, weird, I was writing mine and they both popped up at the same time.... ooooh....Quote:

stinkyattic, I guess good growers think alike, huh?
darth don't pay any attention to stinkyattic. There are many people on this site that think just becuase they see a picture of a plant thats not in tip top condition that there is no hope for it. There are always multiple solutions to fix your problem no matter what the problem is usually. Besides, I like to think even if you get 4 bowls from the plant at least it's four bowls you didn't pay for right?Quote:

You might actually want to READ the post if you are going to criticize it.
I'm not one to name strains in VEG. or to name strains until the've properly budded. I'm 50/50 I know that plant. well. but i'm new here and not popping off until I see bud. If i'm right it's not a big feeder to start. Get an eye dropper if your mixing for one plant. Super high P for flower try ,MOAB or "Mother Of All Bloom" and sweet by botanicare. Be careful the first one is 1-52-34 so start light.
Sound like you got some good guys helping you. LISTEN to them and don't wander and this plant will be fine. I can't add shit peace.
i belive he'll get more than a dub off that plant :p
stinky my apologies I was referring to smoky mcpot 05, looked at the wrong name.
Hey, 50/50, that's better than I can do... Wanna come over and ID my bagseed ladies? Please? I want to give them names!! :DQuote:

I was kidding.
99.9% of the time you can't identify definitively in bud, either.
Sorry to break it to ya.
99.9% you don't know that strain. I'm at 50/50. 99.9% of people haven't drempt of the amount of weed I've personaly handled. Sorry to pull cocky, but you don't know my knowledge. I've grown that plant many times. I'm not 100% so I didn't say it. I so dislike "haters" like you. Just can't believe someone else knows something you don't. Your ego takes it so personaly. lol
wow getting into a cat fight on this thread since last time I checked. lol.
Evan if your so sure, what strain is it? And for the record, " not popping off until I see bud" I hope your talking about cured but because everyone knows how different buds look after being cured. Since you've handled so much weed, I'm sure you know this. By the way, StinkyAttic is right, its damn near impossible to tell what strain the buds came from.
Deftdrummer, I don't think that at all, but I know when a plant is past the recovery point. (true about the 4 bowls though) So whats your 'multiple solution' to fix his problem?
If Darthstoner keeps this thread up, we'll see who was right in the end.
Love and Peace EVERYBODY
I promise you I have no idea what that strain is.
100% I don't know that strain!
I've grown that plant too.
It's Cannabis.
Relax.
That plant is not showing its true form because it is sickly. So whatever it looks like is not what it is. It's stunted and burnt. So I wouldn't admit I'd grown that plant many times and be proud of it!!! It's a plant that everyone grows once... on their first grow. :p
I honestly believe that plant can actually recover. It is going to need extra veg time and isn't going to ever be PRETTY. But it will SURVIVE. Just as long as it knows how to love, I know it'll stay alive....Quote:

and yes air/jar cured.
No but more experience = more knowledge. That plant had no regular growth 'mister know it all' and I hate to break it to you but theres no way to tell the difference by looking at buds, (which earlier you posted just by looking at the buds on the plant still alive, so which is it?) because buds change so much especially after being cured. Stop wasting peoples time, the only person you're fooling is yourself.
Hey, evan1, stop with the BS. There is almost no way to tell what plant that is. It is very hard to I.D. plants at any point in their different growth stages. A few plants can be I.D.ed because they give off unique characteristics but most cannabis plants grow very similarly to each other. If I was to give you a big bag of buds all mixed together from different strains would you be able to tell me what strain each bud is from? Definetly Not! So stop with the B.S.
Happy Toking :rasta:
hey hey hey.. stop all the fighting... i can 100% id that strain... i am 100 percent positive that its an eggplant... so there!
But it is a testament to how much advice he's given on these boards. Next, the knowledge from personal experience that most species look pretty similar, I think it's safe to say that it would take a cannabis god to know what species that is.Quote:

I'm sure you could do a lot of good here, but as you may have seen, there's also a fair amount of bull.
Great point Graph, I like the way you think.
