Hang on or start new?

[Farnzworth]

Hello I have recently gone from terra to hydro grow. I started with a reservoir bucket system and failed almost killing my plant. After figuring out the Bubble bucket all seems well with my growing environment now, but my plant has been through alot. Though she seems to be getting better is it worth saving a plant thats had that much shock? Will it still produce? or am I better off starting with a new seed?
Here is some info about my set up. I use a 5 gal bubble bucket with supernatural nutrients. Two lights a 150w hps, and 250w cfl, and plenty of air flow. So should I save her? is it worth it? or start another one?

why would you not save her? what experience would be gained by quitting now? of course you should finish her out! every other problem that you encounter from here on out is education for future grows....not to mention there will be some buds in it for you at the end!

I know I can finish her my question is will the plant still produce the same as a healthy plant would? I have other seeds my goal is max yeild and quality. I would rather start from scratch, and do it right if it means better yeilds and quality. So does the stress impact quality and yeild?

its better to finish your lady to the end instead of starting over. if your other plants occure the same issue you will then know how to fix that problem as said above it is a learning experiance

yes stressing your plant is going to effect it. there are many other factors that will have an impact on your lady though. stress being the least of your worries really as she can fix that herself.

also, if you chop her now you are setting yourself back however long.

how much experience do you have?

do you only have 1 bucket? is that your concern?

if you quit you dont learn! of course yeild will be lower than if plant grew great through out the whole grow but if you ax it then everything you could be learning wont happen until the next grow which could by theory lower its yeild

Ive been growing about a year now with no problems. I just switched to a single plant gro from a 3 plant grow, and changed the whole sytem to grow just one big plant. when I swithed to the new sytem I had my pH, oxy, nutrients wrong and we had a heat wave all that combined almost killed her. Now that I figured out my system and have it purring shes starting to get better fast. So as far as yeild I went down to my local hydro store and asked. And was told since im still in veg the my yield and quality will be fine as long as I get her healthy before I flower.
