I have 3 sherbet clones that i got from the dispensary, I made two big noob mistakes and overwatered them and had the lights to close. I transplanted them the first moments i noticed them wilting. I have 2 300watt full spectrum led lights by ViparSpectra, the girls are in FoxFarm Ocean forest soil. the room is at 70-80 degrees, with the humidity at around 55-65%. the lights are now 24" from the tops of the plants. they are in a normal 2x6 foot closet with 2 small fans

Now for what I'm getting at. They seem to be recovering after 2 days, How long do I wait to feed them again. The soil is dry to my first nickel. But i don't want to kill these girls. Please help.

Greetings. I would watch them and wait for a lite pot then go easy on water.

Too much love kills plant.

You can cut your soil with a bit more perlite next time you pot up and it will become hard to produce an overwatered plant stress. It should not be a big deal with your soil to water more when it feels light, there is enough aeration in your soil that they won't be stressed for long. You'll figure it all out in short order, practice and observation make it easier as you go.

I am leaving Cali in august and only have this time to get a little bud grown. I don't have time to start over i don't think. i will be doing this again when I settle in my new state. Not sure which one yet because I will be traveling for a few months. It would really suck to loose this grow after buying all the lights and stuff. On a good note i will have all i need to start again when i do settle.

I can't stand this state anymore. The tax on the sale of weed doesnt go to the states needs at all. They just made it legal for recreational use all the money from it will go towards anti pot ads and straight to the government. On top of that I HATE the people here lol. Im a born and raised New Yorker and Army Vet, I don't have patience for these people lol
