Overwatered my babies

Tokintoucan · May 12, 2017

Hey these haven't been watered In a week and are showing no recovery signs. Do you think potting them in their final soil would help? They are currently in biobizz lightmix and are 21 days from seed. They have not had any nutes as I've been waiting for the soil to dry so much, noticed little bits of discolouration and they're so floppy !

It's hard to say. Does the pot have proper drainage. Wonder why it would take so long for soil to dry. What kind of temps in your room.

This is a few plants about 2 and half weeks from seed

The drainage is not adequate, however they do feel pretty much dry again now. Would I expect the other leaves to perk up before watering again or would you guys start again?

Do you think I should start again? Did you start in those pots?

Is there a chance they could be root bound? I can't tell the size of the pot but you might need to pot up

Temps are fine. A bit on the high side if anything. The pots could do with more holes. I'm more wondering if these are saveable or I should start over

Fluffyhead22 · May 12, 2017

I would just keep on going. That's weird if the temps are on the high side it should be drying up faster. But you could always just start another plant and help them.both going.

Can only see one or two roots through the holes so I doubt it, but would potting up help em recover quicker ?

Thanks. And yeah I know. I'll never use solid side pots again

Looking at the yellowing on your leaves it looks like you need to feed nutrients, I think you said you're in light mix? Does your pot feel really light yet? Do you think they could benefit from a small watering?

When I started my mate told me if in doubt, flush it out, wait 24 hours and feed a light nutrient. Obviously doesn't apply for over watering but it's possible if you've previously over watered you might have flushed out the nutrients in the soil.

what's your air exchange/exhaust setup? Low air flow makes it harder for evaporation to occur

Passive intake, 4 inch extractor, oscillating fan in box and 600w 6 inch aircooled hps. I'm gonna be replacing the 4 inch with a 5 in a few week

That sounds possible, they certainly feel light, do you think transplanting to the allmix in my final pots (fibre pots) may help?

Gently squeeze the pots and see if water comes out, if it does you still have to much water and Defo not enough drainage. Wouldnt start over mate bit of a waste they will probably sort themselves out.

Thanks man, do you reckon a transplant in to more nutrient rich soil would help or hinder them?

Bowser4:20 · May 12, 2017

I'm more of a coco man to be truly honest however it won't hurt to gentle squeeze the pot put the stem between your finger and pop it out. Take a pic of the root mass and post it.

I think it maybe more to do with drainage and the lack of it. But yes both has same looks. Are you just using ph water with these plants?
