death

5 days ago, my veg light crapped out. not having time or money to replace it. the plants went 4 days without light after 3 weeks of veg. after i replaced it i turned it on and this is what most of my plants look like, and getting worse. i did throw out a few of em. but i cannot figure out the problem over watering or maybe to much neem oil sprayed on. i use bottle recomendation once every 5 days? used to much and suffocating them?

Did they sit in the dark, wet like that? If so, you could have some kind of fungus/mild starting, causing that damage to the leaves.

yes. they were feed and the following day the light went out. so 5 days of them being soaked with no light. im growing in 6x6 cubes 600 watt mh. they are in week 4 of veg

That isn't good. Next time, make sure to keep a oscillating fan running, that'll keep any molds/fungus under control.


I don't really know what to tell ya to do, for now. Without actually being there to take a good look at 'em, all I can really say, is to wait and see how they look, after the light has been on for a couple days. Hopefully, they'll start looking good again, before too long.

i do have an oscilating fan and an exhaust fan on 24/7. im just wondering if it was a combo of overwatering and light shock. no biggie some still look good. ill disect a few cubes that dont make it. and see. just a learning curve. would be my second grow hydro. keep bulb on standby is todays lessoned learned. thanks for the insight

It was probably a combo of the wet soil, and no light to get the plants in action, and processing it. The roots were probably suffocating for those couple days. Get that 600 going, and it should bring 'em back to life, once they burn up a little of that water in the soil.

well after a few deaths and some stupidity i got the situation under control. i tested my water, out of the hose, 210ppm oops. so i figured i have a lock out, little foliar spray(botanicare grow,cal-mag at bottle recomendations, and pro bloom for soil not hydro at 5ml gal) with 1 gal of poland spring water. all i had. turned my death watch green again. now i have not flushed my cubes yet as i am installing an ro system in the morning. then ill flush it clean. ill get some more pics up of the plants just for future reference. thanks for the help
