Getting Really Nervous...

good luck in general, good job on your tie down and you may not have anything to worry about with the smell. some dont smell much at all unless they are disturbed. it is amazing how a plant reacts to being tied down. now that it is tied down that far you may be able to loosen it and tie it down a little farther.

I do need to re-tie it. We had a rather nasty storm last night and when I came out this morning, it was bent completely over. I thought I lost it. I still may. I propped her back up and we had great growing weather today so she perked mostly back up. I'm going to tie her up again though. Once in one direction lower and once how I had it but further up. That should take care of it.

As for any smell, maybe I'm just so used to weed smell, but I really don't notice that much of one. Granted, its not budding up yet and I'm sure that will change, but I'm hoping against hope I'll be ok.

Just a suggestion.. Gets some chicken wire and 4- 10foot pieces of Rebar.. drive the rebar around the plant and top the plants higher tops ... Place the chicken wire over the plant a bit lower than the top and GENTALLY bend the branches to stay under the wire.

This is called scrog and is generally done early but works fine to keep the buds low as they fill out ..

Heres a pic of my outdoor scrog grow and the ideas the same for you only your starting a bit late so ya gota have more hight..

Oh hell. I looked out my window this morning and saw my girl looked fine. I never thought twice about it until about 2 this afternoon and I noticed she was completely wilted. We've had a ton of rain here lately so I think this may be the reason. If it is, will it ever come back? Is it possibly something else? I have noticed over the last few days since it bent over, that there has been some yellowing of the lower leaf sets and several of the lower branches have been broken off. Like I said, it has been quite stormy the last week.

Any advice? You guys have been great so far. The pics here are how she looked today...

over watering

It looks even worse today. I think five straight days of torrential rain and wind really did a number on my girl. Is it still possible she can be saved? It's hard to imagine she could go from being considered a "monster" to shriveled up plant in so little time. I know I may have a lot of seemingly obvious questions, but this is my first almost successful outdoor grow and I am/was really looking forward to a healthy harvest.

Can it still happen? And if so, what will it take on my part to make it happen?

those plants look a little too droopy. usually droopy means its gonna die. unless its a night at night its sopposed to be droopy a lil

marijuana plants are very sensitive to being overwatered give it lots of sun maybee it will come back but it looks bad... real bad but next time put a tarp over them or grow ur plants in pots so u can take them inside if theres that much rain

[Mingles]

Point taken. She's basically dead now.I guess I learned a lesson about rain. I don't think there was anything I could have done. As much of a good idea a tarp would have been, that would have been way to conspicuous to the neighbors. What can you do when you get so much rain in that short of time? I mean, can't exactly suck the water back out at this point. I guess I'll have to get started on my indoor next and hope my bad luck doesn't extend to that. Thank you all for the replies. Unless someone out there knows of a miracle cure, this girl will be put to rest.

And she had so much promise.
