420tyme

I accidentally got some around my plants the other day while i was spraying some weed killer

its been about about 4 to 5 days when this happened

their all yellow now

do you think they will recover since they haven't just died off yet

or do i need to just yank them up and put fresh soil down and start again

Dude, looks a bit bad. Have you tried flushing the weed killer with lots of water? I know that if it rains within a few hours of spraying that effectiveness goes wayyy down.

Anyway - good luck!

No i haven't

it rained here 2 nights ago pretty good though

do you think they will make it or should i cut my loses and start again

also

if i do yank them up

do i need to put new soil down or do you think the weed killer shit has been diluted enough now

truthfully i have no clue when they will get better. shouldn't be more than 2 weeks max. i would just water them alot 2 try 2 flush that shit out of the soil. then maybe give them some food and u should be good

I did not do it intentionally my man

( Stop Panicking )

So is that your way of saying that they will survive this ?

its hard for me not to get worked up about it right now

i know it don't look like it but i put the time and work in my grow area

and i only have a couple seeds left if they don't make it

and i don't have the extra money right now to replace the soil

they look as though they will make it. Go there tonight at dusk and folair feed with plain water. Do this for a few days so they will not pull so much water from the root area. Water the rest of the area down about 3 feet around the plants. You should be alright.

If it's been 5 days already I'd say they will make it. They may stall for a while just be patient. The flushing may help but don't over water. What exactly did you spray them with?

Folair feed ?

is that where you just use a spray bottle and spray your leaves

and i dumped a gal of water around each one yesterday also

do you think that might have been to much

The first one will be quite a while recovering - if ever- from the roundup/glyphosate. the second plant from the left is pretty sick but I think will pull out. The rest will have slower growth for a week or two.

There is damage you can't see. The center of each root on the first plant will likely be dead and dark and can cause the plant to never really thrive again.

Roundup is nasty stuff.

If you do have to replant at least you wont need new soil, roundup doesn't really have any lingering effect to the soil once applied.
