    dont water it in the middle of the day or mist it then either.. it is too hot in the middle of the day for that and ur leaves will burn. just water the soil alone in the morning or afternoon. dont water it too much, just make the top soil looks moist. sometimes pulling too many leaves will shock the plant and it wont recover, but if they were completly dead then maybe it wont affect it. leave even dead leaves on until they are just completly gone because they can still absorb light.

    Okay im no expert at this stuff, but ill tell you what I have found out this season myself with my first big grow, and what others have told me.

    I had a grasshopper problem, little bastards cleaned out two plots of 6 plants each. I checked the plants, nothing but a little 3" stem and like one or two leaves, I gave up on them. So for shit and giggles I go check them this week after 3 weeks........they are growing like mad. Granted they are only half as high as the ones that didn't get leaf stripped, but they are growing!

    Its a weed.....it will live!

    k well yeah i am prety sure that its not gonna die now just worried of shock cause it has been going thro to much shock but it is pretty bushy for a sativa but i use to think that ya it is just a weed and it will grow no matter but my thoughts have changed there are so many things out to get it not even funny but o well ill keep those who follow posted on its nurturing it back to health

    What size pot may need an upgrade? It sounds like an N deffeciency bad it can be caused by rootbound, overwatering, or just no nutes and bad soil, could be all 3 for all i know.

    This is whats wrong chemicly, The plant isnt geting enough N for growth so its taking it from the lower growth and puting it into the upper growth. Find out why and fix it. Plants just dont start to die because there "geting old" or soemthing, your just not treating them right!

    its outside so not in a pot but yea its due to heat tho cause its been really really hot and it hadnt gotten any water from the clouds or me so i am beggining watering it and i fert only when needed i believe that the plant will find all the things it needs in out door soil cause it has everything that a plant would need well thats what i heard but i give it some like 1 time every week some times 2

    ok thanks, back to the subject

    How hot does it get where you live? MJ has been grow all across the world sucsssfully. Having your plant dying isnt good. If the leaves are dying from heat or lack of water they will curl up and die, but usualy from the top down though. Or they could just be in the shade too much. look at the plant problems in the general growing links (sticky at the top of general growing mesage board). Its not the heat im almost shure its a nute problem or someting like that. My plants just got a blast of near 100 degrees today and they took it fine.

    well the leaves curled in the center t the tips. i hadnt watered it for a week thinking it would rain andi didn't get a chance to or mist the leaves.

    the browning or the leaves occured to the ones that were at the bottom to the way up this also happened when i didn't O.F.F.F it when i put it outside same thing pretty much. this is why i think it is due to the heat

    The temperatur everyday has been 92-100 degrees which made me also think it is due to the heat but the plant has stopped to shrivle leaves and they stopped browning so i think its gonna survive all i did was start watering it again and misting it.

    we shall see if any more problems come up and if the leaves start to die again but it looks kinda strange though because some of the leaves started to brown, they stopped once i watered and misted it but now they are a differet green color like a lime green not that lime but it lost its greenish
