Plant fell over :(

Hey guys. I have a giant purple alien plant In 4 weeks of flower. that fell over as I was trying to remove my net to correct some PH issues. It almost uprooted but didn’t and it the problem is nothing wants to stand up anymore including the branches. Development slowed to a halt due to the Ph issues and now it’s slowing even more because of this. The developing bud sites are all starting to turn red. What do I do? I added more soil on top and watered. Also added support with bamboo sticks. Hopefully she isn’t dying all the way on me and can recover.

Sounds like you damaged some roots. I would just water it, and then leave it alone. It'll probably be fine.

How long ago did this happen and when did the wilting start?

How long wilting in total?

All you can do is wait and see what happens. Could go any number of different ways. Try to get your pH issue fixed because this plant needs as little stress as possible right now.
It WILL get worse before it gets better.

Happened 3 days ago when it fell over is when the wilting started. I was trying to drag the planter to my bathroom to flush it in the tub and it was too top heavy when I moved it

I took a look at your other posts, leaves look unhappy in all of the ones I saw. what happened to the other pots? earlier they looked overwatered, leaves all droopy. i see your temps, look fine. what is your humidity? should be around 55%

do not water her until pot is dry, should take a couple days at least. turn the light down, she's gonna need about a week to recover if her roots got damaged. shes in shock.

this is a separate plant. This one isn’t overwatered i just had an uncalibrated PH meter and stupidly wasn’t thinking to calibrate it so I’ve been watering at the complete wrong ph the entire time which finally lead to a complete nute lockout. Was completely healthy until then and I also supercropped it A ton and it bounced back. Sucks

I just bought the best meter I can get with calibration fluid this time and I can directly stick this one in the soil so hopefully things turn around.

here’s a before pic, don’t pay attention to the yellowing at the bottom because those are seperate auto flower plants which were finishing up

If you broke a bunch of roots it makes it harder for the plants to get the water they need, especially a big plant and that one looks pretty decent sized. I would water it and then leave it alone, but that's just me.

Yeah that was the plan but I was just wondering if anyone had some magic technique and been through it before lol. And yeah it’s a monster. 4 month veg really. Any idea how long it would take to bounce back? I’m hoping this doesn’t kill my buds of yield

Agree 100% with this based on @Armyofsprout reply a couple posts up. It will bounce back in a week or two, just give her the environment she needs right now. Cant force nature bro.

Consider it a challenge! Perseverance and patience will get you there

Unfortunately it didnt recover. Everything is turning red and all leaves are browning/yellowing out still after two weeks. Sucks i put 4 months of beg into this but i learned. Just popped more seeds yesterday since i fear it wont recover. I didnt chop yet tho. Ill dry it and use whats there for underdeveloped dry ice hash/ shake
