So my dad decided he would spray the garden with weed killer and my plants were in there. So he said he skipped over it but, a few days later the plant looked yellow as hell! It is in a pot so it wasn't planted in the ground. What I want to know is if I flush it could it be saved??
 
If you had rinsed the plants with water immediately it would have saved them. Once they turn yellow that means the roots are dying and it's too late. That's what weedkillers do: kill the roots. The chemical is absorbed by the leaves and moves to the roots. Sorry, man. This really sucks.
 
Dude i wudnt kill it tho just keep that shit alive if u can. Maybe itll cone back if he didnt spray it directly. Never know
 
dont get rid of it yet. just hang on to it and see if she pulls thru. however i will say that if she does pull thru shes going to be a stressed plant. just treat her like a baby and see what happens...

I would stop growing marijuana in my parent's home. I'd get a place of my own and grow there.
 
Sounds like dad sprayed your plant in roundup, its fucked bro in a few more days it will be brown.
 
Haha I got a 16 month ol son so money is tight. But my Parents are cool with it. I just checked on it and the plant is showing new growth. So maybe it will be good after all
 
Too many unknown factors to make any sort of judgement on what will happen. 1. What was the herbicide used? 2. How close did he get to the plants? 3. Did he follow suggested rates according to the label? Please list this info. if you can and I can make an informed opinion on what might happen.

I can tell you from what I know that it was sprayed close aroun the pot and not directly on the plant or in the pot. The herbicide used was finale grass and weed killer. And suggested use was the rate used.
 
Although Finale is non-selective and pretty much DOA if applied directly to the leaves and stems of a broad range of mono/dicots, you may be ok in this particular case. Even at higher rates, this product requires thorough coverage for best control. A "glancing blow" is unlikely to cause death on a otherwise healthy, vigorously growing plant.

^^^^^^WORD^^^^^^^

Start some more seeds. I wouldn't re use the dirt from the container either.

Shouldn't be using herbicides/pesticides at all. That shit is terrible and is directly responsible for killing my bees.

Even though your plant was in a pot there is drift from the spray. If it's glyphosate based then you are screwed.
 
I have a few plants. Reserva pervada sour kush, afghan, big bang, big bud, and a few bag seeds. And fruitbat I wasn't the one who sprayed herbicide. It was my pops haha. And I used subcools organic mix in 5 gal pots.
 
I would trash it. I wouldn't want any chance of smoking that herbicide anyway. That shit is bad news.
 
Understandable but I would just like to see how it turns out. In a month or so I will let you know how it is. Btw it is royal dwarf autoflower.
