heat stress??

[MCFLAPPS]

my plants were doing good up untill 3 weeks ago they have been drooping and dieing i water ever 4 days and i just can't seem to find the problem

not sure but i think it is from to many nutes, but im not sure. would help with more info

 

[Mr. Greengenes]

Looks like they were allowed to become too dry. Cannabis grows too fast to adhere to a watering or feeding schedule. Needs change daily. Once every four days was fine, but a few days later, it's not enough. Overly dry soil concentrates remaining salts in the soil, which is how nutrient 'burn' happens.

so i if i just keep them wet they should go back to normal? not get them drenched but just moist?

Looks like the one in the middle died of thirst. Your temps would help with an intelligent answer.

info on plants using organic potting soil amended with perlite and time released fertilizer heat gets no higher then 88 and no lower then 65 and I'm using four 4ft florescent lights .thanks for helping me out i had been in some legal trouble and wasn't able to tend my crops for about a week and when i got back the temps were at 95 they were dried out with fungus gnats flying around i was guessing the gnats screwed with the roots or something but it would make sense that they got to dry.

thanks to those who have been helpful

Someone correct me if i am wrong, but, if you have good drainage there is nothing wrong with soaking the soil every now and thenis there? I think if they are close to 'bone' dry a good soak is ok.

 

[Mr. Greengenes]

A 'good soak' is not only OK, it's the only way to water properly. The basic rule of watering, whether it's indoors in containers or outdoors with that gigantic black walnut, is the same; As thoroughly as possible, as infrequently as possible. But, you can't take that 'infrequently' al the way to the wire as the OP has!

Seems like you answered your own question: They got too hot, had no water for days, and were infested with bugs.

Take clones of the survivors and throw out the infested, abused plants. Start over - try again! My first grow was a nightmare like this, but I learned from my mistakes and from the crew here at ICMag. Never give up!

Best of luck.
