Plant dying in a few hours?!

Night Claptoman · Nov 17, 2009

I got some very sick plant, a Greenhouse Seeds Lemon Skunk.
After saturdays watering (i water once a week for now as the plants got trasnplanted from 7liter to 25 liter bucket 3 weeks ago) that had 3ml of BioGro, 3ml of BioBloom and 3ml of Alg-A-Mic (all biobizz) with a PH of 6.7 everything looked fine but in a few hours the lemon skunk collapsed.
All the other plants use the exact same media, exact same fertelizers, in the same room, the same lightning, same temperture, same humidity and same bugs. only the lemon skunk is dying.
I'm running 3 other indica strains from GHS that came in the same pack.

I've checked the PH in the soil and its around 7, nothing that should cause that reaction.
Its not temps or air circulation issues as I've changed its position from being the closest to the intake vent and now it gets more heat and less air, yet it doesn't help at all.

Also, he doesn't die. Leaves are intact firmly as when he was more perky and no major yellowing.
It does curl like crazy though.

Its not overwatering as I stuck my finger in and there is no water build up.

its not underwatering as I gave it around 5liter of clean water to mini-flush it and it didn't do anything.

I'd love any information you might have

maybe your other plants are mocking and abusing it when you're not around :-(

You killed it with way to much nutes. that sucks. been there done that.

You want to tell us something?

I gave it only 3ml each fert, thats the lowest emount of nutes i gave my plants after 7 days of flowering in my last 5 runs. This thing never happened to me.
I gave it 1ml more biobloom and 1ml less biogrow compared to last week when he had no problem. I doubt 1ml change will kill a plant in a few hours.
More over, I've added phed clean water 2 days ago and it should have improved the plant if it had nutes toxicity as the solution would have been diluted. Nothing happened.

Sounds like some bad genetics to me or someone is playing a cruel trick on you.

How soon was this after transplant? It looks like something in the root zone. It honestly looks like the plant isn't taking up water. Not overwatering, doesn't look like overwatering to me.

The stem had to break or some type of physical damage. Nothing else is even possible.

That would explain it...

Did something happen during the transplant? I don't think I've ever seen a plant just "off" itself. I've seen plants that look like that, but it's only happened to me when my water pump broke and I didn't get my plants any water in E&F for about 4 days. Looked just like that when I came back home.

Genetics aren't great, I know that. That plant always had more problems than the others. But lets not blame it all on the plant.

No one accessed my grow-room, and thats something I'm 100% sure of.

3 weeks or so.
He doesn't act as underwatered plant, I know thoes. The leaves doesn't fall off when I touch them and nothing seems to break, just droop.
Its ain't overwatering as I've checked for the water level and its just fine.

the plant got topped twice in the now-base. There are 4 stems. All fine.
Usually when i got a stem to break the stem would become "empty inside". thats not the case with this plant.

Transplanting went smoothly.
I had the 2 main stems split the plant down the middle a month ago but I've connected them and the plant healed up pretty well since.

I'll check the root color today, that should help us a bit :S
I'll also flush it up.

in the worst case I'll bend the other plants to take its space, I have them over-vegged enough to do so.
Or maybe I'll add sevral coco\perlite clones that just rooted a few days ago and pollinate them to make some seeds.
Yet, I rather heal this plant :S

Thanks everybody for the input.

Man, I don't know what caused this, but if you find out, please don't dissappear and post the answer. I've really never seen that in a room full of healthy plants!

it could be hype sensitive to nutes do some research on the lemon skunk and find out if it is i know blueberry strains are it

Night Claptoman · Nov 18, 2009

I've flushed it with 16liters of 6.4PH water (the soil was too alkaline to begin with, around 7) and it all came brown from nutes. It seems like it had way too much nutes, but yet i don't know the reason for the SUDDEN wilting as this much nutes had to build up.
might be an air pocket filled with nutes that the main root dipped into.
If this is the case the flushing should make the plant better in a few days. lets wait and see.

chicken, I couldn't find almost any info on the lemon skunk by GHS. its pretty new if I recall correctly.

By the way, my blue mystic (blueberry X skunk) by nirvana is a nute hog, I've pumped it twice-triple the recommanded dose of nutes and it survived even with the 42C temp it had on the last run. the buds harvested were tasteless very weak buds that I sometimes use instead of beer. I need a full medium sized straight mj joint to get the effect of a 1\3liter beer bottle. But it did survive over-nuting.

Plant dying in a few hours?!
