Well, i checked my 4 plants this morning and they look like hell. I overwatered them day before yesturday. They looked good yesturday but today the look like hell. Does anyone have any solutions. I have a dehumidifier that i am going to put with them to try and dry the soil. Also i am putting them in larger containers with alot of perlite in the soil.
Thanks

hi m8 id advise letting them dry out a few days to get some oxegon to the roots before transplanting them as transplanting them now will cause more stress to them.they should be fine if left alone for a while .i find the best way to water is by adding a little at a time till i see it start coming out of the drainige holes 1 this helps you to be acurate and 2 it dosent give the plant a big shock from a load of water chucked at it all at once .just my opinion but its allways worked for me .hope this helps

Overwatering is NOT too much water. Overwatering means you are watering too often. You should water your plants until water starts to come out the holes in the bottom of the pot, then let them dry out before watering agian. You should be watering about every 3 or 4 days so the soil can dry out inbetween. If you have to water you plants daily or even every second day, that means your pot is too small for the plant or you grow medium may need more vermiculite for water retention. If your plants are staying wet for too long you might want to use more perlite to help with water drainage.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. They were dry when i watered them 2 days ago. Looked great yesturday, and today they were shriveled, and drooping. I guess i don't have much of a green thumb. I painted the inside of the grow room/box yesturday but i don't think that paint fumes will have much afect on them?

The cause of inexplicable poor plant health and vigour may be a result of BRS.

Indoor air quality is lower than fresh outside air. Homes are filled with materials designed to resist fading, abrasion and time. Many of these materials emit toxic vapours at a low to very low concentration into the air.

Fresh paint / lead paint or solder / sealer, old or new carpet, flooring and other room fixtures may emit toxic vapours. These vapours are harmful to both plants and humans.

Newly installed flooring (especially fresh carpet) or wall panelling will often emit strong vapours for several weeks. The grower should vent the room thoroughly, remove the problem, or remove the plants.

(bhangman) The heat from HID lighting can cause linoleum to emit vapours

Grow rooms should (ideally) have most furniture and flooring removed prior to setting up. Inspect the corners of the room and closets for green or black mold. Occassionally, mold and mildew exists in the ducting. If possible, seal the central heating ducts.

Rooms with stagnant air are the most susceptible. Vapours will build up during 'lights off' when ventilation is low or off. Continuous or periodic ventilation will reduce the fumes considerably.

Other potential problems include: using 'non-fish-safe' silicone, pvc in irrigation, lead solder in old home plumbing, rotting insulation / asbestos, and fusarium wilt.

Note: given the numer of possible causes of poor plant health, growers should check all factors throughly. Pre-testing a room with houseplants might be a good precaution

paint fumes is definitely your problem
