    Well it's been a shitty week here...Tuesday night I worked late and it was already a day late for feeding so I called home and asked my wife if she would feed the girls for me...she has done it before....I explain to her what plants get what and to read the back of the bottles and give full strength...she said okay...no big deal...she's done it before...cool...I thought....that will save me much time when I get home and don't have to fck with the garden just go on to bed....so i did just that....

    Woke up in the morning and opened my tent......my blackberry looked about dead...No Shit...leaves yellow and brown and fckn crispy....I Fuckin panicked... flipped out....Woke her up and asked her to recall what she did....SHE GAVE HER TWO GALLONS OF TRIPLE DOSE FOOD WITHOUT PH'ING IT !!!! So I had no choice...I flooded the 3 1/2 gallon pot with two more gallons of plain ph water....the flush runoff started at 9+ ph...by time the two gallons dripped out it was down to 6.5 so I was able to fix the ph issue quick enough but I was left with a burnt up plant totally soaked to the point where no air at all was getting in there.. For a day and a half I waited.... No change in wetness ..so today I went and bought a little air stone pump and came home and shoved two air lines in the side of the pot to hope to dry it out quicker....so I was sitting there looking at the mess of a plant and said fck it...ripped out the air lines then untied her branches from the side of the pot....stood up and grabbed a five gallon fabric dirt pot I had extra from last photo grow...and in one fail swoop I grabbed her trunk and I yanked her out of her pot and put her into the fabric one....loosened up root mass a bit and put the air lines in pot as well and put her back in the tent under the light....

    So...as you can imagine...my heart is broken and I'm utterly ashamed to have to write all this and share it....not just with you folks but also on another forum....

    I tell ya...head is low....

    No picture updates from me for a few more days...I couldn't bare it...

    I really hope to not have to throw the towel in...

    Fkn fkidy fk....

            A window may have opened. Can always reset, come back stronger. Could of been a whole tent.

          Heads up Green! Ashamed doesn't suit you. My advice would be to take some of that pressure off your shoulders cuz shit happends and this was out of your controll. You have been and will continue to excel in the art of growing. I recon your wife will know how to water the plants after this.

              No...I'm going to cull her today and put both of us out of our misery..

            Oh, the humanity.

              Sorry to hear that green, if she is still not drinking much water then I would cut your lights back to 12/12 and slow her growth while the roots recover. The above ground part of the plant will still want to be growing and if it can't get enough water

                  I believe she is not going to make it...it's too late for her...too much damage has happened...all the buds white hairs have turned Brown and curled up...leaves keep burning up...she's done....I can't do this anymore...my brain is screaming CULL HER....I will more than likely put her down today...

                  The hardest thing about all this was having to tell you guys....I dreaded it all week...
                  Now that I've spilled the beans its like a huge weight has been lifted and I have come to terms with this....thanks for all your kind words and support!!! I absolutely appreciate it!!! You guys are "friends & family"... much love to you all!!!


                  My head is high....
                  I know what I gotta do!!


                  Ps.....I was so going to win that whole Fuckin thing!!!!!!!!

                  Hopefully fast buds gets their seeds to me soon so I can get into the next leg of competition.......it ain't over till the fat lady sings....and I've duct tapped her mouth shut !!!!
