First Grow

[raizla]

Awwe mites? That sucks man. Hopefully the neem oil takes care of em. I actually got some neem oil for my girls just in case mites appeared, but I've been lucky so far. Keep us updated on your fight against the evil zerg. Don't fall to the zerg rush!

Well,...


If it was in my grow room it's dead now!!!!!!!!







Unfortunately that almost goes for my beautiful little marijuana plant as well!



She went from this gorgeous lively bush of green and purple (first pic) to this sad wilted trainwreck (2nd pic) in just a couple hours with that fuckin strip in such a small area!


I opened the door to the booth and all the windows in the basement to vent that shit out about 1/2 hour before that 2nd pic was taken, and the tops have already started to turn around, so she'll survive..... but FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!:cursing::icon506:

Never seen that before. I sealed both my plants (clones plants) in a 2' X 3' X 2.5' box, taped the box seams all closed (sealed tight) and put two of those strips in there over night. They both came out looking fine. (just mite free)

I'd have to guess something else caused the droopies. Maybe it got to hot, or the soil dried out to much.

However, your girl should recover just fine. Give her a day.:thumbsup:

Good news IS,.. You should have NO BUGS!!

P.S. She's turned into quite the monster in the last 17 days!! Good job!

Temps never peaked over 80* in the last 24 hours, over night low was 68.7, humidity hovers between 45%-63%, Watered the day before yesterday, soil is still very moist. Only difference was having the strip in the booth, it's all I can come up with given the bounce back after opening up the booth.


All the big fan leaves look pretty much dead a couple of them might bounce back, but whatever happened is gonna cost me some foliage for sure.

Maybe that strain is more sensitive.:wtf: Sorry to hear it.

However I wouldn't worry to much. It's still plenty alive, and new growth is FAR from slow to come on. In a week you'll barely be able to tell it ever happened.

shit, things aren't looking good. discoloration and wilting are creeping up the branches into some of the newer growth. I ran out and picked up some clearx to help flush the soil, and a rapid rooter, and took a couple cuttings just incase.

The tippy tops of everything is still looking good, so I've got my fingers crossed that mom makes it, and that the clones all take.

[canniwhatsis]

Shit, My GDP that was so beautiful yesterday is just a bunch of sticks now Every single fan leaf that was fully formed when I put that pest strip in there is now mostly dead, tho fortunately there is a silver lining.

The new growth at all the nodes is coming in strong and green! I did a heavy pruning and cut off the totally dead leaves/ trimmed the 1/2 dead ones to clear up the light for new growth.


The strip must have F'd up the soil since she was dying off like a systemic problem was happening, thus the soil flush, the clones that were clipped are not wilting at all, fingers crossed that they'll all take off.

All I can say is,.. Hope she improves, and sorry it happened. Not sure why the pest strip would have any effect though. I've done about double what you did and had no ill effects.

However I think you may like seeing this.

Once you've seen, and read that. You'll see that your girl is far from doomed. Just give her care and don't try to over compensate.

Your clones should work well too.

I'm baffled.:wtf:

Pulled mom out of the cabinet, the intensity of the light seemed to be making the chem burn progress faster, lost a couple more leaves. Also pretty crowded in the cabinet. I've got her under some normal reflector light bulbs now and the whole room will be 24-0 until the clones have roots and mom has bounced back. (Or should I put mom on the timer for 18/6? Still have 2.5 hours to change my mind) Temps are in the mid 70's for mom, low 80's in the cabinet with the clones, 45% RH for mom obviously under the dome 100%


Poor girl, her leaves looked like someone had taken a rake to them under the microscope.


As far as the clones go,..... How long before I know if they are gonna survive? How long before I get roots? (Using Clonex gel) I know it'll take a week or better for the clones to be ready to transplant (if they make it)

Me too! :wtf: I'm sure I did something wrong,... but that's a long f'n list of stuff to go over, so pin pointing it is the hard part,.... nothing that I had done on the list seemed to hurt her at all,.... till I put the strip in there, 7 hours later I had a 90% dead girl Probably a combination of all my little screw ups coming together at once.





It's a little after midnight, and I just got out of the room,... Mom is looking a bit better already, I'm seeing good growth (mainly branches) at all the nodes over 65 points of new growth since I almost killed her. I'm gonna loose a couple more leaves in the long run, but the remaining ones seem healthy enough to not fret over.

I got an active exhaust vent installed today, 6" computer fan in a 8" duct out the back basement window,... It's not much, but it's WAY more than I currently actually need (hard to get temps to climb with a single 96 watt T5 array!) And I got some seals on the door done up too,... it's not air tight, but helps, and will block light bleed to what will become my dedicated veg room. (4.5x6.5')


As I've already posted Mom is no longer in the little cabinet, but out in the main room under a goofy little 3 light(only 2 work ATM) strip that has 50w incandescent "Reflector" style bulbs in it,... it looks like it belongs in a bathroom right above the mirror, but it's got a plug, and the reflector lights are pretty focused (Hot tho!)so it'll work for now, I'm investing in more T5's soon.....


I got the main room humidity up to 50%, and with running the reflector lights as well as the overhead incandescent I've managed to get the main booth temps up to almost 78* and with the doors slightly cracked on the cabinet the temps in there stay around 82*


I'm trying to stay on the right track, even tho it got derailed, and it'll happen again,... suffice to say it's a learning experience!

I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track again, and I'm off to the races,.... but I just gotta ask the Pro's......

Any advice?
