All my time , money and work may be wasted. I used a dish soap water and vinegar as I read to on here in a thread for whiteflies.


Well my very perky pointed upward leaves all over of my plants all finally taking off again, are all crazy looking now like they're dieing. I sprayed this solution(soap, h2o, vinegar) and the next day hosed it off as I read to and now they look like this some leaves are hard and curling, everything pointed downward, some leaves are orangish/purplish (rainbow kina looking) looking.

I'm so pissed off I could have dealt with the whiteflies, my infestation wasn't to bad. I also was using 31 ml of H2O2 mixed with 1 gal. of water in the soil too.

I have no idea what to do, man I feel like I have ruined it all I was planning to start flowering soon.

It is getting worse.. My plants were very healthy looking before this. Maybe soap/water drops acted as magnifiers and fried them? What can I do? (First time grower btw)
This happened to my other four plants but they are younger and seem to have recovered alot faster. It seemed to first affect the new growth of the plants first, mainly the tops of the shoots and main stem top. I wish i would not have done this, my plants were so healthy and my infestation was very minimal.
Veteran grower's please help me, give me some advice.

vinegar? that cant be good. and yeah do that in the darkness cuz HIDs will burn the leaves if they are covered in droplets. try leeching the soil out. pour a shitload of water through and get the nutes out. then clip all the super-burnt leaves off since they wont survive anyways. move them a tad furher away from the lights so the intensity is down cuz they are slightly stressed out. id say spray them with straight H2O in the darkness with fans blowing on them to get it dry again. nevermind the flies for now. get your plants back to life and then try using a different method for killing them.
 
on second look you didnt burn them with the lights in all likelyhood with CLFs. probably burned from the vinegar. most likely left it on for too long.
 
What will happen if I trim off all the burnt leaves? Won't I need the fan leaves? Also can I just snip off the tops of the grow shoots to promote them to grow again? Are these two worth saving in your opinion? Would I be able to still take cuttings from these for clones? Oh and the flies are all gone... However I would of much rather dealt with them if I knew this was going to happen. Thanks for the quick response
 
Yea all my lights are CFL and the tube floro's no HID's

I left it on for less than 12 hours, what I read to do was spray them down with the solution and then hose them down the next day.

So being burn't from the vinegar should I still trim them or if their a chance they may straighten out? I used very little vinegar.
 
i dont know man. it looks hurt. if you can start over i would just cause with this much stress the plant might end up turning hermie after you revive it. then youd have a lot of effort into a plant thats gonna grow seeds.
 
Well I have 3 other plants that it didn't hurt to bad and are recovering good, and a clone I took almost 2 weeks ago from one of the plants that's burnt bad now. I hate this because these are my two bushiest plants and the oldest. If it is possible to save them I would really like to.
 
Sorry man but they look really bad, you can try to wash the whole plant and flush but they don't look like they will make it.

I would try to take more clones at least. You could also try to save them but the outcome looks dark.

Good luck
 
Anybody got a time machine?

Yea I think I will cut some clones, and when they root, put them with the rest and start flowering right away. This sucks, but hey next time around I won't spray any vinegar lol I'm ready for the next go around now I think, I'm pretty much just going to let them do their own thing next time, throw up some fly traps and treat soil with neem oil for pesticide and that'll be it. Thanks for your guys help and support.
 
yeah just make sure to clean your grow area, and make sure its semi-sealed to the environment. once you start using molasses if it isnt, its ova!
 
Ahh will do, I've read a litte before that said it can improve flavor/taste.

I think I'm going to delay flowering a bit since only healthy ones left are my youngest. Quick ?

How much average vertical growth do you see once your into 12/12?
My 3 youngest are about 17" tall now
