i just found out today that one of my pots was not draining for about a week - a week and a half. it's looking pretty withered and dying. i flsuhed it out and emtied out all the water and everythign is good now. should i wait to water it again andshould i use flowering nutes, veg nutes, or no nutes? the plant is almost in the 4th week of flowering in a soil pot outdoor.

If its been wet that long let them dry out for sure.

As for nutes, cant tell ya what the plant wants.

bayareamml

how long should i wait before i water them again?

id back off the nutrients for at least a week, and water less, lets keep the roots stimulated repeatedly

hows your heat exhaustion? if at all possible move that lady into it's best suited conditions while she can get back on her feet

However long it takes for your soil to dry out.

Cannabis doesnt like to be wet. It prefers to be moist, and then dried out. Fill the same sized pot up with soil, and compare their weights. The plants dirt should almost get as dry as fresh new dirt.

Or buy a moisture meter...Or just guess. But let it dry out. Roots rotting away is not good.

it had the appropriate amount of water and all that, somehow the holes in the bottom of the pot ALL got clogged at the same time. very unlucky. im just scared that if i dont water it now taht i have flushed it it will die? idk maybe im just paranoid. ive put so much work into this. it would really suck to see it die this late in the game.

Why would it die? If you let it dry out it will be fine. If you continue to have the soil soaked it will rot away.

Think of cactus plants. They live off no water at all hardly. Not all plants love constant wet soil...

bayareamml

thats very true. ill let it dry out for a week.i guess ill know when its dry when it weighs the same as the healthy plants?

Hi bayareamml,


I wouldn't give it any nutes for a few days till the plant recovers a bit from the stress it has gone through. I'd take a long thin stick like bamboo and shove them from the surface to the bottom of the pot to make new air ways for the roots to grab water from. Don't worry about hurting the roots, they'll be fine. If they are root bound, try my link "Stop Yellowing Leaves." Following those instructions but replace the soil with fresh loose potting soil to give the plant as much room they'll want during the the end stages.

Good luck!!!~

I try not to let mj dry out too much, I believe that also stresses it. in your case Id give it ample time to dry for sure..as everyone said. the leaves told you the plant was sick..they will also tell you when its healthy and recovered when they start picking back up and stretching out in the light. soonafter I would resume nutes
