SWIM has his plants at his friends house and SWIM went over there for a while to tend to his babyies and found out that SWIM has was just sitting in the container that the PLANT CONTAINER is in. SWIM told his friend that he needs to check on them everyday and empty the water, NOPE DIDNT HAPEN!!!

Now SWIM has 3 clones in containers that are turning really light green and drooping. The day SWIM went over there SWIM bought water trays before going over there.

SWIMS MAIN CONCERN IS ROOT ROT????? Anyone who has any experience in growing marijuana let me know and let SWIM know.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION, MEDICATE SAFELY AND BLAZE A FATTY!!!!!!!!!:D:D

Yeah root rot should be your biggest concern. Stop watering and let the soil dry out some and make sure your have good air flow.

Get them to dry quickly or they will die or lose so many leaves so fast you will be better off starting over. If they are small enough and the drainage of your soil is poor, repot them immediately and don't take the chance.

you say they are clones, so if they are still small the wetness shouldnt affect them much at all. id be more concerned that you get a small fan in there. they need some kind of stimulus to build up against. that is probably the biggest reason they are drooping. they have nothing trying to push them over so they dont build strength into the stem. just a small fan on low to get the air circulating is enough.

when i worked with plants and there was water damage done because of rain and stuff i had to transplant them resoil and repot them and fertilize

don't forget to give them lots of love too

Yea I've basically did everything but transplant into another pot because they were just transplanted a month or two ago. The clones are pretty big now and they started to droop because of no drainage, they will do that, my friend who is taking care of them for me let them get too wet and now i'm trying to let them air out. I have a good fan up there but it's not doin much!

If I transplant them now since they are just surviving the recnent one will they survive???? I kno there's only one thing to do but I'm just wondering If anybody has had problems with doing that. They are a couple of months old now I believe so any ideas throw them my way!!!

until then MEDICATE SAFELY & BLAZE A FATTY!!!!!

I know this was posted a while ago and you probably already solved the problem but as long as there are holes in the bottom of your container, you can prop the container up with something in the middle and gravity will have your soil dry, and your plants perky in no time my brotha.
