Help, my plant is dying

My plant is dying gradually. I'm sad and frustrated and there's nothing I can do about it.
I watered it recently with sugar water (3 ts/liter), it has never been the same since.
can anybody diagnose my plant ? (I guess it's nitrogen toxicity)
I flushed the pot trying to drain sugar from soil, don't know if this gonna help
Is there anything I can do to prevent it's total death?
please help, it's a 2 month effort.

Hi bzk37:

Stop with the water it looks like it is drowning. Your soil looks pretty heavy - too much clay and not enough organic material but it may just be the picture. Sugar can rev-up your soil microbes and make too much nitrogen available to the plant but I think your roots are not getting enough air. You might want to try transplanting it into a Smart pot like fabric container with some soil designed for cannabis. Sometimes we kill our plants cuz we love them too much.
 
It will require some time to recover from it. Looks like you are mid flowering stage, you should be prepared that it will not provide the optimal yield that it should be having. Your roots are more than likely damaged. Try using hydroguard or similar products to help with the root system.
 
I agree with the others that it looks more like a case of overwatering/wet feet than anything else. I think it'll perk up a bit when it gets a chance to start drying out a little. Unfortunately plants are a lot more picky in flowering than they are in the vegetative stage :(
 
I agree, this looks like a drowning plant. Extremely dense soil mixes don't drain well. Most people add elements to potting soil, such as perlite, to encourage draining and quicker drying of the soil. Using a container such as "Smart Pots" or other cloth-type pots help with this dramatically. Every time your soil dries out, you get to add oxygen-rich water solution into the soil which is one if the majorly things roots need to thrive. When they sit in stagnant soggy soil they quickly use what oxygen is there and then have to drown til the next watering comes. This is why container size is crucial when planning your grow.
Cheers!
 
I once had a similar case. Indica on a hot humid weather. She was a pretty girl nd suddenly didnt drink any water. It took me long before realizing all the deficiencys she was showing were due root rot. So my only option was to transplant to slighly bigger pot filled with almost completely dry soil. Trying to get rid of all the previous soil. Let rest for a day and then start watering little by little.
All the roots (very few) were brown md dying. A few days later I could fell the new grip to the pot of the roots recoverying. The plant stood still again and started to form new leaves. Unfortunately the stress of being sick for too long made her hermafrodite and became full of seeds. I killed her before she poliniized the rest of them.
Hopefully its not too late for you. Just make sure the new soil its fluffy and not compressed :)
good luck :)
 
What about rest plans in that pot? I have noticed there is several of them which isn't good idea.. roots are forced to battle with other plant for nutrition, space and etc. Just transplant that poor girl to peat moss with perlite, don't give too much of water and hope it will be ok!
