Alright, I flushed em and they didnt like it because they're so short that the water kept drowning leaves and definitely got the bottom pistils wet. Should I be worried? What do I do?

Have a lot of pictures for you guys, AKR first because it seems like its not doing good whatsoever. Its got brown dots and yellow spots, to brown/yellow leaf tips, to light greening from the veins spreading outwards and droopy dark clawing leaves.

I flushed with only about 9.5 of 11 gallons between both of them, the water was still dirty coming out but I made alot extra holes thinking it would drain quicker and that just made the soil come out easier. The flush definitely didn't go good, wouldn't say bad, but almost. Took forever, drainage sucks, needs more perlite I think, or the paper towels blocking good drainage.

The HBDs runoff after 4-5 gallons of 6.8-6.9 pHed water was 6.6, so I am right on the money almost. The AKRs runoff was whacky. The fish tank drops said 6.4 but GH drops came out to about 6.0-6.2-ish. Boy I wish I would have gotten atleast a $20 electric pH meter, Im no good or patient with the pH drop indicators.

HBD, looking alright. Small as well, just wider and more pistil production. Doesn't look like that at all in person. The flash makes her look like shes packing a little weight, but shes not. Not yet anyway.

Short Stuff Onyx seems perfectly fine now. Went from a yellowish stem and leaf to purple stem and darker leaves. I think shes 100% okay, and will be better knowing the faucet filter is being purchased tomorrow or Saturday.

What do you think?

Good job, Steath. Now you just need to hang tight and see what affect the flush has. They honestly don't look that bad in the pics IMO, certainly not at death's door or anything. Best wishes, bro. :peace:

Andy took the words right out of my mouth! They have a shine to them, so that is a good sign. See how they go the next few days.
 
Bad bad bad looking girls. They're getting sick with something.

The leafs look like a murder scene, weird looking and weird colored patches Ive never seen before. Its like dark gray and brown spots. On mainly the HBD.

AKR, still bad. Small. What gives? I got the faucet filter for $30 bucks today. Hope it helps with my horrible hard tap water. Got 4 gallons filtered and sitting out with the caps off to evaporate all the bad stuff it can.

Got new weatherstripping, gorilla glue tape, and a Brita faucet filter. Total of almost $45 bucks
. Weatherstripping is too thick and the doors wont close like they used to, got a light leak on the bottom side. Been trying to fix it but it keeps opening up on the corner.


Also got a new misting spray bottle and garden pelletized lime. The only lime the dollar store had, and surprisingly this dollar store has a lot of little cool stuff. For $3 total and some change.

Whats goin on with these guys? More mag looking deficiency or am I missing something?

Ok so the past couple days my rooms smelled like crap. Smells like mold/mildew or similar. I don't know the difference or the smell difference. Thought it was the air conditioner or the drainage from the AC coming forward into the windowsill, but nothing smells over there as far as I know of.

Up close to the plants they smell normal, when smelling the soil thats still wet it smells nasty. The AKR used to have that strong killer smell, now it smells like what my whole room smells like.

Question, what do I do? Can the Onyx get this stuff? Do they need to be cut or can they finish and be made into hash?
 
I took the top inch or so of soil out like I read on a Google search to do in case it is root rot or mold. I took a paper clip and poked holes down into the soil to help drain better, because it feels and seems like the bottom of half of the grow bags are hard and stuffed. I then made a gallon of 5ml Grow it Green, and 10 ml Flower Power, and 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt. Even though the soil was still wet, maybe 30% max was dried even though the flush was on Wednesday, I believe, last week! I also watered the Onyx with only 6.6 pHed water, first watering since she popped (shes already like 3-4 inches tall). Oh, and the AKR I might have dug up too much soil because she doesn't stand straight up anymore, shes off the side even though I tried straightening her and pushing the bottom circle stalk looking thing hard into the soil.

This is my first grow, but I already want a large grow tent or a TV Armoire cabinet minimum. Sick of the small dresser and problems already, but ya live and learn huh?

Anybody ever had a foul smelling plant/soil? That made your grow room area stink like mold-ish mildew-ish garbage? My room doesn't really smell now, but Ive got a fan blowing into a bowl of some strong smelling general all-use cleaner.
