Getting Really Nervous...

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.

If my babies got in that situation I might grab a hose and try anyway.. Or call Teresa over... she can suck start a Harley..:thumbsup:

It's not the rain! You know that storm you said you had a few days ago that you thought damaged your plant? 10 to 1 it was that. Physical damage to her main stem, I'm betting. If you have your plant in a poorly drained pot, then yes, too much water can cause root rot, but when you're planting directly in the ground too much water will almost never be an issue. And overwatering will not do that much damage that fast either, and the damage will not look like that.

you guys are recommending he top, and it's already flowering....

what the hell is wrong with you?!?!

tie it down, GENTLY. any cutting or breaking at this point is cutting and breaking your final yeild.

geez.... btw, you're taking a HUGE risk.... be careful, i personally would cut it down and wait til next year. the smell will more than likely be a big issue.

There's a lot of misinformation here. Topping probably would have been a good idea in this case. Sure, it will affect yield, but sometimes yield isn't your main concern. And for all the people telling him to tie down his plant and put chicken wire around it or whatever, the last thing he would have wanted to do is attract more attention to his plant.

From my experience, pretty much anything that isn't a pure indica won't smell that strongly, and even then, there are so many plant smells outside in the summer, one more isn't something you'd notice unless you're an experienced grower or a drug dog. And there's no sense in cutting down a plant without knowing if smell will be a problem.

Still, growing in your backyard isn't that safe, but it's not too late to start again! Indoors, that is. :smokin:

mine sometimes do that with too little water in a pot but the stem probably got cracked and pretty badly by the looks of it. they can usually recover from that too as long as it wasnt too bad. if it died im sorry, but if it isnt dead maybe a little propping up and time can save it.

Sorry for no replies. Life gets busy. Yes, she is in fact dead. I tried to feed her a little bit hoping she'd perk back up, but to no avail. Although her main stem is mostly green still, the leaves are all mostly dying. I've actually been fairly bummed out over it the last few days, being my first and all. In the next month or so I'll get my indoor going and that should cheer me back up. Thanks again for all the advice and watch for my indoor project coming up.

Do worry alot of people mess up the first time... It was probably the soil. You need some perlite in ur plot to help keep the soil from getting compacted and soggy when it rains. That was probably the problem unless someone has been poisoning it. I had a plant in the powerlines once and the electric company people sprayed it... I came back and it was a yellow wilted mushy thing overnight... bummed me out bad it was one of the biggest i had ever had... and it was like 3 weeks into flowering..

No, no, wrong, no... You have more misinformation that this whole thread man...

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

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?
