Save these mistreated and abandoned ladies *pics***

[djbenzo405]

POOOR THINGS! my friends new plants werent going "as planned" for him and already had some 4' ones growing so he threw these out! I, never having the opportunity to grow indoors, took advantage of this and went and got them out of the dumpster but was about an hour an a half later. i rushed them home where i conveniently had some pots and miracle grow soil and bought some lights super quick from walmart LUCKILY he dumped the plants out of the pots soil still intact so they werent dead! both plants are lucky to be alive and have obvious issues and id like some opinions of how to help these victims of neglect! this is 4 days later:


introducing PLANT1[the left plant]




pretty sure its female if you look at these whiskerss


PLANT2[the RIGHT plant]

this plant was about five or so inches taller but was snapped when thrown away in the dumpster but youll see..

]

here is the break! poor thing! but i used this bottle and...

i made my first attempt at cloning! so far so good! i dont know how effective or smart the plastic idea is but i also rigged this..let me know which you think will work better!

i took the clones out of the plastic bag and they started drooping like in the picture! they used to be sticking up at attention for the first 3 days..sad

for some final pictures..




PLEASE THROW WHATEVER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU GOT AT ME!
ive only done some outdoor growing so anything would be amazing and
thank you for reading/replying
you may have seen the pizza box with the led christmas lights i made..i duno how effective it is but i use it when the lights are off and there is 50! if you wana see more pics or have any questions about that feel free to ask to! im kinda proud of my lil rig

[djbenzo405]

well if you guys dont have any helpful tips..
can u refer me to another forum with people who give feedback?

I'm thinking you need more lighting. They look awful spindly. Also maybe invest in some reflective sheeting, Mylar, or Panda plastic. Just looks like you need to control the plants environment a little better.

hmm well remember i saved these!
they are already about a month old and now ive had them five days or so..
he had bigger and better ones so he just had these in the kitchen before he threw them away but now i have 3 flouro tubes and some leds..
i dont know how much more i can fit in this small closet ha

[BudWizard]

I understand and wish you luck. Wish I knew what else to tell you but I'm not very experienced myself.

[djbenzo405]

oooh..i wonder if where the branch broke..
it will regenerate or im thinking it will split into two colas?

[blingaling]

It will actually produce two colas even though they will be smaller. Basically do everything you can for them and post some more pics. Since you just got these it's really hard to tell what's going on. Definitely they have a nitrogen deficite but that's easy enough to correct with proper nutrients. Also considering you have such a small space I would suggest getting them healthy then flower asap.

[h2o]

here's my advice for what it's worth...


the pizza box is taking up space...

line your space with reflective material...mylar, white plastic, aluminum foil, 1000 inside-out Whatchamacallit wrappers...something.

consider investing in a better light (or best possible bulb for your fixture) for flowering.

spend the ten bucks on materials and get a domed cloning tray w peat pellets.

this is a pure guess but i'm thinking those may have been started from seed and been thinned. find out.

if they have, finish your grow with low expectations and low investment..that said, let them go nearly dry before you water them next and flush-water them with ph 7 tapwater, fill the pots and let them drain at least three or four times right in a row.

after the flush watering let them go nearly dry again, buy some liquid fert, read the instructions and give it half that much

if they ARE clones the chances are good you have some pretty decent genetic material to work with...

...maybe i'm a butcher or maybe i'm just spoiled by having a lot of broodstock but if it were me and i knew the genetics of the plant were strong i'd turn both of those plants entirely into clones and basically start all over.

[Peace2daearth]

I would go with what h2O said but I would put them back through the veg stage on a 24/0 if u have CFL's or 18/6 if u have or can obtain a HID, increase the light there by giving the plants more time to heal, I wouldn't rush it though if your going waste time and money u should take your time let them get a chance to heal before u put them through flowering. All depends on the genetics of the plants on how fast they recover. I would also have a fan blowing against the bottom of the plants where the stem meets to the soil, cause the air pressure from the fan helps the plants build a better and stronger stem...because they look very thin. But if u do these things u should see some changes in about a week to a week and a half...hope things work out....PEACE

[djbenzo405]

the lights are on constantly and im planning on getting a new aquarium/plant bulb so it will have one cool white/one plant light in the fixture, plus the one at the bottom. and if you look at the pictures i have a fan blowing on the plants..its on the left side of the closet and is quite strong for a little fan.
the plants are doing muuuch better now! most of the leaves that had issues are curling and wilting so many will be cut off but the new foliage is coming in perfect and nodes seem much closer on the new growth so im just trying to learn from these VERY mistreated plants[by the previous owner].
but i finally have my own sprout from seed going plus the two clones from these plants...more pics soon~

They have heat stress too. Much to hot in there.

75 degrees is too hot?

[SmknVTEC]

Maybe because they have multiple things wrong with them they are not as hardy as others. Yes they have heat stress. Whats the humidity?

[djbenzo405]

yeah they are lucky to be alive at all but i just wanted to see if i could still get anything out of them.
its pretty much like it is in the picture when the lights are on
70-78 degrees with 30-40% humidity

[wxchiga]

I think you should flash them once... I had exactly the same problem... 4 out of 5 of my plants died because of it... the last survived after I flashed her...

They were totally fine until I used that root stimulater... I think using those stuff should be really cautious otherwise they will destroy your plants really bad...

Let the soil dry a bit (dont' have to be bone dry), than flash them once and for all
