I moved her from indoors to outdoor & her leaves got crispy is she worth saving ??? it's a feminized ice seed from nirvana Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It may still make it. I wouldn't pull it up or anything, since at this stage it's pretty much free to wait and see.
thanks, do you suggest me snipping the leaves across? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Did you poke holes in the bottom of the cup to let water runoff out? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk
I don't understand why people cut off the burnt part of leaves and such, I just leave it Sent from my VS985 4G using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Cause when you do that the plant stops trying to save the burnt part meaning it sends nutrients to the parts of the plant that are healthy to promote new growth. I cut the tips, she's feeling better. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
ALWAYS FILL THE CUP UP!! It needs a reasonable amount of soil to get started with. A half cup full of soil don't do it. Yes, it's light burn. You have to temper a young plant to sunlight by exposing it a bit each day for a few days and gradually increasing the time you give it full sun. It won't die, but those leaves will die on off as the new foliage grows. Once a leaf is damaged in some way, it's going to die on off. That plant wasn't really old enough to have developed a good root system yet. From the cup, go to 1 gallon pot once the plant is larger than the cup (wider and taller). Repot into a 1 gallon pot and let it root in (they have to do that every time they are potted in any way) and get back to growing. THEN start tempering the plant to the sun. Once the sun doesn't bother it anymore and the plant is bigger than the container it's in, time for a larger container. By bringing them up slowly in container size, it takes less time for the plant to root in and get back to growing foliage. The root system is the nerve center or brain of your plant and you always need to make every effort to keep the roots happy. If they're not in a good mood, your plants won't be either. Go to the new grower threads and read the sticky's there for those who don't have much experience and get this vital basic info that every grower needs to know BEFORE they get plants. The more you know about what you're trying to do, the easier time you will have getting it done. Flying along by the seat of your pants is just wasting time and stressing your plant out for no reason other than you didn't take the time to learn the "how to grow this stuff" part of the process. Good luck and happy growing!! TWW
Once you see a leaf changing color, it is dying. It will never recover and the plant has already stopped expending energy on that leaf. That's why it's dying. I don't really think it makes a hill of beans difference whether you take off a dying leaf or leave it on. I do know that if you defoliate too much during flower (on some strains), it can send them into growing you some seeds. I had that happen to me back years ago when I was new and dumb and didn't know what I was doing. You can do what you want with them during veg, but when they start in the flowering cycle, I would be very careful about how much manicuring I did to them....on healthy leaves, etc. If its a dead or dying leaf, it's no big deal to the plant to take it off....but it's not something you have to do to make a difference in the plant. We run about 30 at a time and there is no way I can keep all the dead and dying leaves pulled. They'll come off at trim time anyway. TWW
Is it okay to cut big fan leaves during flower so more light hits the bud? I've read that quite a few times and watches several videos on people doing that. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
You want to cut the fan leaves yes, but you need to be selective about it. The leaves are important. This is a long read but worth it. It'll help you learn what the plant is doing with the nutrients your providing and why. Which will help you learn which ones to keep, and which ones to cut. Essential Plant Nutrients
