So in a hasty move last night while running late from work to get home to take my wife out I watered my plants a bit to much.... I check in on my ladies this morning before I run off to work to find *GASP* them totally bent over to the ground leaning all over the place,,, literally leaning over the pot, from the weight maybe .. or the amount of water I gave them .. or perhaps both caused it I dont know.

Anyway I tied them up to a couple of dowell rods with some yarn in hopes that they will in fact get stronger or regain the strength to hold themselves up right. I am in week 6 of flowering on my first grow here and very very very very sad at the moment.

The main stem on both of them is not snapped or disfigured from the bending all night in anyway... but they still look sad. My question is will they survive a night of being bent over to the ground ? Or should I harvest now? I will monitor them as close as I can over the next 24 hours. But what type of signs should I look for if the plants dont recover from the over watering getting bent over stupidty I have caused?

Some fast backround on the plants, 6th week flowering, soil ph is 7 & water ph used to feed is 6.8 the day time temp is 85 max, night time temp is 72, I am not using any nutes at the momnet due to nute burn recieved when I transplanted them two weeks ago into MG ocelote* soil.I have a fan for fresh air on them and I am using a 250 watt HPS to flower them. I will post some pics in another thread following this one.

yep, you got to watch out for over watering man...water them like every other day...
sometimes you can even stretch the roots...as in not water for a few days...so the roots stretch for water...then you water them, and they suck it all up..and give the plant a nice growth boost.

Aye that first cola does in fact look like a koosh ball! I always kind of thought of it as a special little white haired grenade..

So far they seem to be about the same as this morning but I am hoping for the best. Thanks for comments, I will sit tight and keep you guys informed! On a good note though I don't see any signs that suggest my ladies are getting worse. I swear the late stages of flowering are so exciting but when something bad happens it can feel like an emotional roller coaster lol!
