sorry no pic's as my cam has no vista drivers.

here is what happened. knock at door and handed a plant. wrapped in plastic bag i find a very poor plant, damage too leaves from bugs, npk problems, been butchered for what it looks like pre flowers, and grown in uk outdoors. strain unknown but main 5 leaves are around the size of a childs hand.

main stem snapped in half, most main leaves left in a state. snapped torn and wilted. all but one tiny side shoot broken snapped and wilted.

i crafted of the small side shoot. its leaves all wilted and loking in very bad condition, heat damage too. i leave 1 set of main leaves on (3 prong) cut 45d angle into stem, place in my soil, water well, cover with bag and leave on window.

the above was two days ago. today i take a real good look. the two nodes ontop of stem look green and lush ( very small but noticable), below is a secon node where a main leaf was removed, this also is leaning towards the sun and has a green lush look. NO rooting powder was used i couldnt find mine. i shove her in gave her water and light and am in hope.

do you think the above will grow roots, even though i cut stem right of at node on main stem.

dont even ask why i done this, i had a feeling in my bones about this poor thing being dumped on my doorstep. do you think my attempt at CPR has worked and my patient will pull through or should i get the coffin ready?

R.I.P cutting

it is dead i am sure, the tips look too be rotting away all brown and mushy. i found my rooting powered, and used a toothpick too place some in a few drips of water and dripped this around the stem in hope it would trigger something off.

so i am thinking of removing the small cutting (1 inch high, no main leaves, just the tip) i tried my hardest too get this plant too take :cry:

might be hermie now.
if you want to save it.
i would put under flos for now on a 24/0 sced, and watch her grow.
when she gets more esablished then you could put her back into 12/12.
i have 4 plants oudoor uk and they are starting to flower, i got a greenhouse at the weekend and they love it.
my plants were 4 foot last week now they are nearly 5 foot.
they are streatching like mad, i think its because they are starting to flower.
