I need some help/advice here...This are pics of my auto berry that was germed on Oct 1st. This is my first grow and have made some mistakes and she was stressed by a few moves. Well she wouldn't flower so I put her on 12/12 on Nov 29th to give her a kick in the ass!! Well I thought it worked and saw some white pistols but they seem to be shriveling...or I was just seeing things!!! Well she is not looking good. I am thinking of just chucking her and starting new. Temps get down to 63 at night and up to 73 during the day with humidity at 35%....ph is 5.7 and ppm's are 900. Using GH bloom and Hygrozyme. I was trying to raise temps in their room so I turned on some cfl's that sat down next to the bucket and water temp got way to warm....
Any advice to help her or should I just rip her out and start new...I am leaving town for a week during the holidays and have no one to look after her. Was going to get a small pump and a 5 gallon bucket of ph'd water and set it up to add water to the reservoir while I was gone but if it is not worth it I won't spend the extra money.
I dont know where to begin on this one
After reading your later posts ( i have been doing what BH does and read this thing backwards now) i see that she has been through some hell. The one thing that does not make sense to me is the fact that both of these plants are in the same res. I cant see it being this extreme and not effecting both of the plants.
The one thing that i can tell you that stresses them the most is the heat. Both from the light as well as the warm res water. If a plant is exposed to warm water in a res over enough time it will destroy its root structure. Its that simple. It causes all kinds of bacteria growth as well as the main source of root rot.
i know you said that there was no smell to the res at all but that just means it hasn't gone stagnant yet, and thats because of the o2 in the water from the DWC setup. If there is o2 running the water is moving it cant get stagnant, BUT it can still grow bacteria if the water is to warm and buy the look of that plant the heat from above and in the water did her in. The other things that you did with the burnt tops and breaking the main cola added insult to injury. I also have to agree with Mossy that the reason you saw pistils and then they went away was because of the light changes. it needs to stay on 12/12 from here on out.
Now here is the interesting thing, again you said that they are in the same res, im starting to think that you had two different plant demands there. We are always talking about how not to plants are alike. It seems yours really fit the bill. Im thinking that one of the gals was more easy going than the other one was. Like the needs of the almost dead one were totally different from the flowering one. The environment in the res may have been perfect/ideal for the one but the other needed more delicate care.
Now how to fix it. You MAY still have a chance to correct this damage, but its gonna kill you in yield. You have to make a decision at this point, if its worth fixing and getting a small yield, cause its gonna take a week or so for this thing to recover, or like you said scrap it and start over. If you want to eep it you need to clean that res. empty it, bleach it, rinse it and then balance the shit out of that water. i would also recommend getting it in its own home. Go get a 5 gal bucket and a lid, and retro fit you basket into the lid and go. This plant is going to need attention and i dont think having it in the same res with the other is a good idea at this time.
You are gonna have to change the water and feed to get this one back on track if you keep it, so all those changes may impact the girl that is already flowering. then you would be out 2 and we dont want that.
