Ok so I started growing a clone 23 days ago and it was doing excellent until about day 17, when unfortunately one of the lights fell into the plant over the night and I wasn't able to fix it until about 9am the next day (the lights turn back on at 7am). So after this a few of the branches were pretty badly damaged by the heat of the light and the lights falling from the air into them. So after this I was hoping all would be well, but the plant has just been going downhill from there and I think it might be a PH problem as I just found out the water I have been watering it with is a PH of 7.5 or higher... Many of the fan leaves are drooping, and now the stem has changed color in the middle from green to brown. There is a 2 inch stretch in the middle of the stem that is now brown and I don't know how to save it. Anyone suggestions to help would be great!
Hey Man, looks like you have had yourself quite an adventure. First of all, remember that plants are really resilient and can be put thru a lot and still do okay. What I would do is give the plant a good flush - a gallon of room temperature ph (6.4) water, poured real slowly. Pour a little, let it soak in, pour some more. Then I would up pot to a larger container, maybe 3~5 gallons. I'd make sure my mix had a good amount of Mycorr (2 tablespoons) and perlite in it - 40% (get that oxygen to the roots). I would then wait 2 or 3 days for the soil to dry before giving them a real nice dinner at maybe 1200ppm. Hope this helps....Good luck
