recovery for over watered plants

[littlemountain]

OK so I messed up and over watered seedlings, yesterday I repotted and see some improvement in 24 hours- will the drooping foliage stand back up or is it permanently damaged ? what is the normal recovery time for such a mistake. I have had an outdoor garden for decades and realize that now I am indoor I am a noob again

Soil with 20% perlite mixed in with good drainholes should not become overwatered. The water should mostly drain out within several hours.

Sounds like watering too frequently...:wtf:..I know, you said your moisture meter is off? You should be able to pick a cup or pot up and feel the difference between wet weight and dry weight. They need to go bone dry , then plenty of water until it runs out the bottom.

I'm gonna have to report this to the HopTown 4-H & FFA associations......you will be banished...:stoned:......imp:...:rastasmoke:..

Yes I totally fucked up, please don't report me to the FFA - I'll blame all the pain meds I am on- I'm not allowed to drive - maybe I shouldn't be allowed to grow :stoned: will they recover soon??

Yes I am using the 1k -I have brought the height up some also to about 30 inches- at 24 I never had a temp higher then 78- hope to get a T5 for next round-- also great news 24 hours after repot all plants but 2 have their leaves as flat as my brothers haircut in the sixties and I expect those 2 to be OK also, so maybe you won't report me to the Hoptown farmers association

Same here bro, only I overwatered with high ph H2o. So I flushed out the high ph with a lower ph and transplanted them the next day. That was last week and now they are growing great!:thumbsup:
They are tougher than ya think sometimes.
