went out to the spot and saw 3 of my babies drowning in a pool of water, flash flood have hit us pretty hard. What can u do after the water is gone, obviously the water took all my good soil and the only thing that is holding up my babies are the roots. Will they die??? I noticed a shit load of red on the bottom branches, does this mean necrosis? What if anything can I do after the water is gone??? any help would be great..
 
Whatever you do don't add any more water to the root system. Let them dry out completely before starting to water again. In the meantime get a spray bottle and mix up a batch of weak nuts to spray on the leaves. Spray the leaves around dark. Just mist them, don't soak them. My plants got flooded out last year. I was able to save the tops from my plants following the above method. Plants don't do too well when submerged in water for extended periods.

thanks blastjuice, yeah I like had a feeling and I went out to check em and one of the pots was floating in the water and the plant was upside down, it was crazy... But thanks for the advice, will the foliar feeding during flowering make the shit taste bad or what? Atleast I don't have to water lol.. thats been a pain this year.
 
I never used to use foliar feeding in my grows. When I got into having a "legal" garden (tomateos, peppers corn, etc) I started to use fish emulsion and seaweed for foliar feeding. What a difference it made with veggies from my garden. So three years ago I decided to try it on some of my females while not spraying others. I know it isn't the perfect science experiment, but there was a huge difference in the quality, quantity, and taste of the buds. Since then I have used foliar feedings throughout my grow cycles. I've always used natural ingredients for the foliar feeding that are not super strong. The mixture i use changes depending on what cycle the plants are in. The last week or two before I harvest I stop using the mixture in fear that it will make it taste nasty. I'm not sure what it would taste like if you went right up till you harvested. I like the idea of having that one last rain storm to wash off all the crap I spray on the plants. Its worth a shot trying just don't mix things too strong. The leaves obsorb a fair amount of the nuts so there is no need to make it super strong. Good luck to ya!
