How did you determine it was dry? How much total water did you put in?
Because it's been 7 days since the flush, it's dry a kunkle down and she's light as a feather,and I gave her 1gallon of nute mix ....I see roots poking out the bottom of The smart pot...

I misunderstood a previous response. I thought you were saying you got a gallon of runoff. My bad. I think at this point, the best advice i can give is hit her with a good charge of beneficial microbes and some kelp. Maybe some yucca as well? Do you do any composte teas? Or use any beneficial microbes?

Get some recharge or similar then. If you have root rot, beneficial microbes may be your best bet. Slf-100 as well. Compost tea is pretty simple though. 3-5 gal water, tbsp molasses, 1 cup worm castings, bubble it for 24 hours. You can get an air pump and stone for less than $20. Worm castings, $10, molasses, $2-3. Good to go. Now you have the makings for many a batch of tea. Use as water in and foliar once a week. Healthier roots and plants and makes better use of your nutes.

Youre not fucked. Just be patient. Get some beneficial bacterias in there and let if get fairly dry in between waterings until it perks up. Root rot is from anaerobic bacteria, they dont like oxygen which is why you dry it out. Compost tea uses aerobic bacteria, they do like oxygen which is why you bubble your tea. The slf-100 is beneficial bacteria and enzymes that will help break down organic matter (dead roots among other things). Root rot is only devistating when you let it get out of control. It may not be that but this path will be multi functional.

That pump with 2 stones and some 1/4” tubing. About 8’. The stones will most likely be cheaper at your shop. I get the ssme ones at my local shop for like $3.

This stuff is the shit. 5ml per gallon once or twice a week. Even if your girl perks up before you get to this stuff, both will be excellent and economical additions to your regimen.

Excellent! You sure know your shit mate, I'll definitely gotta stay up tonight and do some homework..one thing brotha, if this plant doesn't get better by the time my other plants are ready to be flipped to flower I'm going to have to let her go..I'm kind of limited in space for a couple months, I'm renting out my extra room, once my room mate moves out I'll be able to get a little more organized and get my plants out this damn closet!

Id say you got nothin to lose just flipping it. Fuck it. As long as you have room. Remember, they could double to triple in size when flipped. Most of that happens in the first 3 weeks. Check out harley smith, npk industries on youtube.
