[birdboy]

I made a new growers mistake and NUKED my plants in the 2 week stage. I have changed my water and dropped PPms to 250
will my plants come back or are they too far gone?
Please advise....

No i think you have saved them in time. The shock will stunt them a bit for a week but they should be ok. Just keep flushing them out with clean water.

i concur -- for what it's worth :thumbsup: a little b1 or cal-mag wouldn't hurt...

[birdboy]

so are you saying to keep them in the watering system with the 250 ppms and keep flushing with clean water as well? and how much B1 should i use?
or cal/mag? I have them on a 2ce a day watering system is this enough,or should i aslo keep flushing with clean water as well?
thank you for your response
I am curoius to get them back to beautys

I guess my first question woul be.....what exactly happened? And is your ph spot on always (that's just an aside....?)

[MdmPele]

on the B1- or cal-mag, read the label. I'm a dirt-farmer.....sorry.

as a dirt-farmer, I'd flush those plants with plain ph-correct water for at least a day. I'd also add some h202 at a rate of 1 tablespoon (3% solution) to gallon of water -- to that flush-water.. the extra Oxygen molecule makes the roots happy


and yes, how did this happen?

I shall leave this in Mdm P's capable hands; she seems to know what's going on and I dont have a clue.

The plants are two weeks old . The meter i bought was not calculated I thought the pms was 300 . when i changed the water and found out the meter is wrong i figured i was at 900ppm.
I have now switched the water completely out and dropped my ppm to 250 and ph is at 5.5
so now the water i believe is were it should be but i am not sure how much to feed water to them.. and do i flush with just the straight water...
PS :
this is a hydro plant.
I am seeing very little change on them coming back. how lingwill it take to come back...should i cut off the dead leaves ??

Week 1 started with distilled water 1/2 part nuts (what i thougt was 500ppm)
started to see brown edges and leafs found out better to use water and nuts 150 ppm ph 5.5-5.8
(with bad meter readings lowered) plants grew beautiful for 2nd week
week 3 changed water and nuts water and nuts 500-600 ph 5.5 plants 3%peroxide per gallon
started to wilt
thought problem was over water (was watering 3 times daily)
knocked watering down to 2 times daily
plants wilted worse every time
I then found out my neter was not calibrated
changed all water ... no h202- only distilled water dropeed to the correct 200 ppm watering 2ce daily
right now plants are 23 days old under hydro
this is all i have done ....
will they be saved???

Hello birdboy,

Thought I'd drop by since you read my message on the other thread. One of the harshest things that can happen to plant in hydro is overnute....your plants are literally burned up. The damaged portions will not recover I'm afraid, although if the plants produce new growth it should NOT look burned if you have repaired the problem.

You have quite the uphilll battle ahead of you but as I said I personally feel you are in the right hands with Mdm P. Her advice is exactly the same I would give except to say that make sure your ph stays between 5.6-6.0
Check it as often as you need to to make that happen. .

best of luck
