My outdoor grow turned hydroponic

[HIGHFLY]

i think we all kno iz hurricane season but the floridians kno iz been raining like a tropical storm the past couple days well i decided to grow in a everglade area well it rained and got UBER flooded i have 2 plants in the ground and well they are in a POOL of water





ya so im wondering if they are going to grow hydro cause i dont really kno whats going to happen i dont wanna lose them and iz flooded all back there theres a stream to my damn grow

They ARE gonna die unless it magically dries out of nowhere all of a sudden.... Keep on seekin higher ground. Or move them inside if ya can. But the much water won't let air to the roots 3 days in that will surely take a bad toll imo.

It's the truth.

Roots need oxygen. Yours are drowning. It'd be a bitch and probably a lost cause to try and transplant. They look like they were doing good. I feel for your loss dude, first Michael and now this..

Maybe take a hundred clones and put them in their own elevated 2 gals.

Well you do have the fact that sand drains well on your side. And the water doesn't look that deep around some of them... I'd bet they pull through this if the rain stays away for a couple of days. But maybe I'm just being overly optimistic today?

Thing is, the first real tropical storm/hurricane that comes along will likely flood them epically - even if they make it through this.

Take the opportunity to scout some dry grow spots now while the water is still high and mark them. You'll take something positive out of the event for your next grows at least. I even went so far as planting a few in high and dry scrub-palm hammocks this year just in case my other sites get flooded out.



*By the way, in picture 2 (on the right side) it looks like there are Frog's-bit plants (look like small water-lilies) all over. They may also be water hyacinth - can't tell. Those are mainly aquatic plants - so if you see them in the future it means that where they are growing probably floods often. Oh and also, if you look at the base of any trees in the area (like in the fourth picture), you'll notice they are abnormally fatter than they should be at the base of the trunk. That enlargement of the trunk base is a sign that the trees spend quite a lot of time sitting in flood water. Just a couple of things to help you pick better grow spots in the future. Hope it helps.

Some good nuggets of advice. ^^

 

[pinkjackyle]

yes all good advice, but , id put some old clothes on, find my new spot dig it out , come back with a shovel and maybe a piece of plywood 2 stand on and dig my girls out. Big holes to try not 2 damage the roots. It will be a sloppy job and mud is heavy , dont go down without a fight, giving maximum effort makes for results and good ones at that..

[SableZen]

You know - that area looks EXACTLY like the areas I plant in... we might run across each other someday. lol

 

[HIGHFLY]

Hahaha maybe one day... I worked my ass off to save dis plant today rain mosquitos and flood water and dirt

 

[SableZen]

Now that's dedication - think you were able to save most of the root structure? Yeah it was sucky today. Did you know there are scorpions around here? I didn't until I got stung on the leg by one today. =P

 

[HIGHFLY]
