A week or 2 ago I pulled the plug on this grow. Three didn't make it, one is back in the other tent waiting to do anything and this is what's left.
This post is about the autos that are yellow in pic #1
A number of complications arose, but the worst thing these plants had to deal with was me, lol.
I didn't post this earlier because I didn't want help getting through it. I wanted to just get through it and then post the results.
You ever walk through a dusty part of town and see weeds sprouting in the sidewalk? What do they look like? Yep. Just like these.
In an abundance of caution trying not to over-water or over-feed, ever, I under-watered/fed every time I did it. That was happening the whole time the light and low humidity were trying very hard to destroy them.
On December 20, 2 days after the first picture was taken, I tried to fix everything else.
All y'all that are gonna go at me for pH, that's all been checked, done and dusted. Going in, around 6.5-7, coming out slightly lower.
These poor autos, aged 39 days today, were gonna die if I didn't do something - anything, so I prepared to flush them. Five gallons of FF wk 3 nutes at 25% ph'd to 6.5ish went on each 2-gallon container.
At first the water ran through like a regular watering; normally I would call that 'watering to run-off". It took a long time to put the 5 gallons through. For a few minutes, the draining really slowed down, and then picked back up. Finished off with a gallon of week 5 nutrients at 50%. Run-off at 6.5. Testing a perfect healthy pee-yellow.
What didn't happen is they never got droopy and wilty like a freshly-flushed plant does.
They didn't pout. They didn't blink.
I've never watered to the point where draining slowed down, so I never realized I wasn't putting enough of anything on, ever.
The pics are hopefully in order, but you can see the transformation from 2 days before the flood to now, less than 3 full days after they were fed and watered the way they wanted.
Magic.
The day after I did the two autos, I brought the other 2 in and fixed them up as well; the auto in the upper right corner is transplanted to her final 2-gallon container, and the photo Critical Kush was lavished with TLC as well. Fortunately she is vegging and will recover just fine.
The water-boys haven't complained about hauling 10 gallons at a time. They know what side of the bong their buds are on, lol.
Wishing all a blessed Hump Day and any other kinda day that's happy.
