Ok guys, my own stupid fault,
I was a little busy yesterday and forgot to check on my plants,
when I got home and it was lights out, so I had to wait untill today

When I opened the tent, I realised my plants were half dead, dam res, had went dry,

I filled up asap, then ran a feed cycle for 30 mins to allow the rockwoll to become nice and moist again ,
then i just left the timer to feed as normal, this was this morning, I removed all damaged leaves, and tonight when I got home, it ws a ghastly sight, can i save them or shall i just throw them?

im a soil guy dont know too much about hydro but they look to me like they are salvageable youll just lose some time while they repair themselves.

Sorry for your loss mate.

Always more of a problem when it happens in flower, but cannabis under lights has a way of balancing itself out a bit - stuff that would have been shaded out, now won't be ....

This looks too familiar to me My issue was due to flooding though... They're not dead and as CV new areas are exposed to the light ... You gotta make the choice on what your gonna keep and what your gonna write off as loss... I don't think I would switch back and re-vegg but rather flower for a few more weeks...

this is not a problem time m8, I just need to know how ...if i can, repair them, they are only 2 weeks into flower

They're mostly sativa by the looks of them - sativas have the ability to veg on 12/12.

I had one that touched a lamp well into flower and simply sprouted several more buds at the top of the plant.

You can do no more than carry on feeding them in the normal way.

+1 on that.
I would cut out all dead foliage and leave em at it.

Maybe a slight hermie risk from stress.

Lots of tlc and they will yield i'd say.

How long in flower by the way??

Have seen plants with all kinds of damage recover and yield. Think of it as an unplanned pruning.

Edit. Just saw two weeks in flower. DRIVE ON. In a week you won't even know it happened. Before I got co2 I used to prune hard into the third week.

ok m8 thanks,

they are northern lights X bigbud and Ketima Xaiom

Hmm, you meantion flooding, I wantered for about 20 mins today, then a further 20 mins, not to meantion the initial afternoon feed
could I have flooded also, I noticed its only the biggest female that is unaffected and a ketima, the other 2 smaller ones seem to be way fine

2weeks into flowering,
I DID! remove all the dead foliage m8, and since this morning this lot of dead folaige has appeared on them, this is what I was worryed about

In my experience- any foliage that has suffered damage- however slight- will not recover. I think the plants natural reaction to extreme stress is to protect younger foliage. ( This is a good survival strategy) They probably will get worse before they get better.

If in a few days there is no new growth I would start training the survivors to fill the vacant space. My money is on a reasonable crop. As I said-I used to prune the shit outa my plants in the third week.

We all feel your pain. Relax and play it by ear is best imo.

Wishing you a speedy recovery
Papa.
Edit. They may need less watering now. Less foliage to transpire. Just a thought.

thx m8,
if loosing your dog in a day aint bad enough, now it looks like i could loose a few of my girls,

I will trim all the dead/damaged foliage and keep my fingers crossed

Is it not healtheir to let dead or damaged foliage drop off naturally? Any cutting you do opens wounds that can become infected, the plant will naturally discard unwanted leaves and form a barrier as it does it. Is it maybe best to let nature take its course, unless leaves are somehow infected with danger of damaging the plant?

I suppose there is a slight risk involved. It can be reduced by using sterile cutting tool I suppose.

I have pruned hundreds of plants- some not so healthy- and never had an issue with infection.(Usually used the nearest dirty breadknife but I won't recommend that)

Plus side of removing dead foliage is more light to young growth underneath which should get plant vigorous faster i'd say.

That's my take on it anyway.
Papa.

they probs look a lot worse than they really are .... there a very resilient plant give them a few weeks and see then

you may be pleasantly surprised .....got any thing to give them a soft gentile foil feed with ....



riptd

like a chicken broth type thing going on .............good for your self when ill same for plants
