So my mom text me this morning saying she found my plants and dumped em! =( i was thoroughly upset to say the least...i had em in 12oz Solo Cups outside in my backyard. They were only week old seedlings about an inch tall. I have em in FFOF soil and using 6.5 pH water in the sun daily.

When i got home i found them and she didn't turn them over, just put em in a bag and put em in our trash cans. Two were completely bad and i couldn't find the seedling, just parts of it ='( The other three had soil falling out but were saveable and green still. I put those back into their original cups (they were still in them, didn't have to do much except reorganize them in the soil so they were in the middle and pat it down to support the still strong and upright stems) The soil was still moist and nothing was ripped like the other two thank God

Question (probably a dumb one) is what should i do?!?! should i leave them and let them get strong in the sun? or should i transplant them into new cups with new soil and fresh water? Basically i am asking what steps i should take to make sure these babies have a fighting chance to recovery? and what do you think my survival chances are?

thanks guys!

Well get them set back up and get going again. The best way you can. Weed is a strong plant!
Now this is A Grandpa talking.
Could this happen again? Do you live with Mom? You don't want a fight between your mom & you. Set us up with some more info. Could she call the cops? Cause it ain't worth it. It's a serious charge. I can go into it if you want. But I'm sure you know.

I would leave them in the sun to get them back strong. Put them in a place your mom can't find them though.

It'd be better and more fun if you moved out and got your own place to start again. Its real hard when you live with antipot people. Just a sugestion

She could just call the cops instead and they could come have a chat with you about what your doing.

thats what i did thanks for some positive feedback sir...and no it cannot happen again i moved them to a different location...my mom knows im a patient she just doesnt want it around her. My father and i knew the risk we were taking and we took it, no big deal really. And no she cant call the cops because my dad and i both have our medical licenses and can legally grow 18 of these babies each....

I have them setup at a friends house now and i'm just hoping they grow back strong, only time can tell now. cheers!

I'm not attacking you. I just think you're a young kid who is not a legal patient and should not have access to our site here. I think you're parents should monitor your computer activities.

Have you tried to explain to mom that your trying to save MONEY by growing yourself? I sure you did but might try again when everybody has cooled down. Or let dad try.

you likely do not want to hear it but, since the plants are no longer at your property they can be assumed to belong to your friend since they are at his house, even with propper documentation labled near the grow site. if you wish to stay legal you may want to talk with either a local leo or someone from a local coop to find the current regulations in the specific city you live in. you may have to take your friend to the docs to get him his caretaker paperwork.
as for your girls, they should remain strong and healthy, keep them in their cups til its time for transplant into either a larger container or into the ground. if the stress of the situation does begin to show i am a very big fan of SUPERthrive. SUPERthrive is cheap and highly concentrated, it has helped me to bring back several plants in my vegetable garden as well as one of my girls (neighbors cats like to attack my tomato plants and bite them off at the base)

Finally a thoughtful answer I can use and appreciate! Thanks man.

If they end up staying at new location I will pressure him to get his card. Hell ill big it for him lol! Great advice

As for the superthrive I'm going to check that out today. Two of them are looking nice and strong but the last one is falling over and won't stand up. I'm gonna give her some time and see how she does with the superthrive.

I do have a concern though. I am using foxfarm ocean forest soil which already has plenty of bytes. The superthrive won't burn em?

Thanks again for your response, happy toking!

Next time use clear cups. You can watch for roots an know when your over due for a transplant. I saw that on a YouTube clip and thought it was a good idea. I hope your plants spring back well. Good luck with your mom. My mom used to ride my ass about pot, so I feel you. I never grew at her house, but anyway.... Good luck

Clear cups...brilliant idea and after all the info I read too lol makes alot of sense if you think about it. How'd it work out for you? Those root balls must of looked nice and weird in those cups, especially high haha

My mom knows money trust me that wonderful woman has perfect credit. I think I got a chance ....kudos on your Rottweiler too, I have two of them myself Lilo and Roxy

superthrive is not a fert so it wont burn your plants, just use it as directed on the bottle and you wont have any problems. using clear cups could be a bad thing, the roots need darkness, if you use clear cups cover them with something easily removable to keep light out.
