Something is killing my plants.

[chasepalmer]

i planted some afgan kush about 2 weeks ago. 1 plant is doing okay, but the other not so well. allot of the leaves are gone. i got some organic pest spray stuff and ive been spraying them with that, but im not so sure its working. the plant just doesent look good. i hope its not to late, as i only have 2 plants. what do you think it is eating the leaves? and what spray/remedy would you suggest? thanks for any help.

I would say its living in the dirt, how else would it be getting to them?
Make a little sticky barrier it would have to cross/climb or navigate in
order to climb and "Chew" on your herbs, they suck, i had to camp out
and catch them, them being little caterpillars/worms

They are drenched!!!!

They need to dry out!!!!!

If they were mine or you gave them to me in that shape. I would take them and transplant in 4" pots. I would not water till I knew they were 100% in need of H2O. Keeping them under a Floro and you should see good results in a few days... Ohh yeah get a fan on those babies..... Go to the Depot for $8 bucks pick up a 40 watt Floro and for $5 each pick up 2 bulbs for the fixture. For $15 get a Oscillating fan and your in great shape for $33.00...


Good Luck GL

greenleaf, they are outdoors, and i had just watered them. i guess i should have mentiond that before. anyway. any more idea's. of comments? the 1 that looks like its in worse shape is not looking even worse. the plant is starting to die, and its kinda shriviling up. maybe i should change the location of it. the 2 plants i have are in differnt locations. and the other 1 is looking good, while the 1 were talking about is dying. i dont know what to do?

That's slug damage. Google 'beer traps' and place them in amongst your crop. Slugs thrive in wet conditions.

For an overwatered plant, drill many large holes in the sides of the pot to aid in drying. If it already has root rot, a soil drench with Serenade is a possibility, but bringing a fungus-infected plant back from the edge of death is a challenge. Serenade, air holes, GO GO GO!!!!

Or actually... I'd start fresh with new seeds. Did you dig that soil out of your yard? You need real potting mix, with lots of perlite. That is why it is overwatered. That dirt is terrible.

okay, thanks. im gonna try the beer trap thing tonight. hopefully i can fix this problem before it gets any worse. i dont think my plants are overwatered really, they look wet in the picture since i had just watered them. do u think the roots are rotting?

the soil is decent grade potting soil that i got from wal-mart. it has maricle grow in it i think.

Hm. Doesn't look right. But I don't see signs of rot as much as... ewwwww slug damage.

[chasepalmer]

okay, here are some new pics. the first 4 are of plant 1, which seems to be doing alright and the rest are of plant 2. which had the slug damage, and now seems to be dying, atleast a couple of the leaves. but there are also some green leaves so idk. these are the only 2 plants i have so i cant afford to loose 1 of them. is there any way i can save plant 2? i changed the location to where plant 1 is, so that should take care of the slug problem. also, what is plant number 1 looking like to you guys/girls. thanks for the help, this is my first ever grow so i need all the advice/tips/feedback that i can get.
