  1. I was trying to figure out why mp plant was defoliating at an unusual yellowing the the leaves drying out and falling, I have added alfalfa meal to my meal, and she seems to be doing better more greener, I watering her normal a cup full, 1 T600 Marr's lights is being used , a good fan, not sure the humidity temp emp its normal not to hot not to cold.

  2. Im sure a plant is not supposed to grow in a sickly scrawny way through its life cycle, its been this way ever since the 1 first week of putting her to vegging time!??

  4. how much how often are you watering your plant

    looks like potting soil, not dirt
     
    • Agree Agree x 2
  5. if this is an actual serious post or a joke? that plant is 100% dead and gone not worth 1 more minute of your time start over and lay off the nutes
     
  6. you say you gave the usual cup of water ,,,its a wonder the pant got that far on a as you say a normal.. cup of water...mac,
     
  7. yea
     
  8. You need to water way more as the plant is crazy droopy. Water it now...like a 1/2 gallon - water in slowly as your soil is completely dry.

    Also needs food. How are you feeding?
     
  9. Bro if thats what its required to grow weed a gallon of water everyday is exhausting its a shore, but now I know why other growers are dedicated not just smoking it.
     
  10. Looks like a combo of Nitrogen (and possibly more) deficiency coupled with not enough water.

    N deficiency looks like this as it progresses. Leaves will slowly yellow like the outer leaves, then dry out curl up and die like the inner leaves

    A plant that droopy is also probably lacking water, here is an otherwise healthy plant thats been dehydrated and got all droopy

    Gave it a good watering, and less than 12 hours later she was good to go! (because your plant looks to be starving, it may not perk up as much or as fast until you fix the nutrients lacking.

    So definitely you need some water, like it was said above, probably 1 gallon sometime today. Once the plant is re-hydrated, it may only need 1-2 liters per day as it grows.

    So anyway, I'd give it a bunch of water, a normal feeding of some high nitrogen nutes (looks like the plant is still in veg) as well as some castings. Start small, and if you see improvement keep going.

    TBH it looks like that plant was put in some soil, watered and just left without additional nutrients, so the plant has likely stripped the soil bare of most nutrients by now, and you'll have to add some on your own to correct.

    For example, when my plants are about 1 month old in veg, they will be in 5 or 7 gallon pots filled with some hot (full of nutrients) soil like fish compost, ocean forest, 3.0 mix from build a soil etc. but even in addition to that they get the following mixed in with their water up to 2 times per week.

    High nitrogen nute (like grow big or similar) or high P / K mix for flower (like tiger bloom or similar)
    2-3 ml of silica during veg / none in flower
    2-4ml of cal mag during veg and stretch
    60-100ml of castings, guano something with a wide range of secondary nutrients (being a lazy man I just use big bloom or equivalent if your not a fox farms fan)

    It sounds like a lot, but once you get experience and have a decent setup it can take as little as 10-15 minutes per day to keep the plant going.

    Hope this helped mate, and I've saved worse looking plants, though it might take some doing. If all else fails, use the knowledge you gained to help you do better on subsequent grows, the faster you can notice and take action on something being wrong with your plant, the easier it is to correct imo.

    (What can I say, noticed this thread right after ripping a bowl, so I tend to ramble)

  11. Let's hope he can save it but I would crack a few seeds if it was me
     
  12. Hope for the best expect the worst is how I try to grow, but yeah I'd be cracking seeds as well (but then again I have a bunch, so I tend to cull the crappy looking ones in the first month)
