The First Fastbuds Sponsored Grower of the Year Grow Battle 2017

[jingo]

Well it's been a shitty week here...Tuesday night I worked late and it was already a day late for feeding so I called home and asked my wife if she would feed the girls for me...she has done it before....I explain to her what plants get what and to read the back of the bottles and give full strength...she said okay...no big deal...she's done it before...cool...I thought....that will save me much time when I get home and don't have to fck with the garden just go on to bed....so i did just that....

Woke up in the morning and opened my tent......my blackberry looked about dead...No Shit...leaves yellow and brown and fckn crispy....I Fuckin panicked... flipped out....Woke her up and asked her to recall what she did....SHE GAVE HER TWO GALLONS OF TRIPLE DOSE FOOD WITHOUT PH'ING IT !!!! So I had no choice...I flooded the 3 1/2 gallon pot with two more gallons of plain ph water....the flush runoff started at 9+ ph...by time the two gallons dripped out it was down to 6.5 so I was able to fix the ph issue quick enough but I was left with a burnt up plant totally soaked to the point where no air at all was getting in there.. For a day and a half I waited.... No change in wetness ..so today I went and bought a little air stone pump and came home and shoved two air lines in the side of the pot to hope to dry it out quicker....so I was sitting there looking at the mess of a plant and said fck it...ripped out the air lines then untied her branches from the side of the pot....stood up and grabbed a five gallon fabric dirt pot I had extra from last photo grow...and in one fail swoop I grabbed her trunk and I yanked her out of her pot and put her into the fabric one....loosened up root mass a bit and put the air lines in pot as well and put her back in the tent under the light....

So...as you can imagine...my heart is broken and I'm utterly ashamed to have to write all this and share it....not just with you folks but also on another forum....

I tell ya...head is low....

No picture updates from me for a few more days...I couldn't bare it...

I really hope to not have to throw the towel in...

Fkn fkidy fk....

Well there's another heat in May so you get to go around again.

I have no more seeds...fast buds has already shipped me two different free shipments for me to test grow and I'm afraid customs has them...or at least one of them...fingers crossed

That's too bad I hope they make it to you. I don't seem to have any trouble getting them here in the US.

Sorry to hear man. Almost every time I've counted on someone to do anything in my tent it doesn't go well. As much as I want to win...I never want to see that happen to anybody. I hope you can salvage her and still get something for your efforts!

Ain't no liking that post. As much as I wanted to beat you fair and square, I never wanted this for anyone. Sorry to hear of your loss and hopefully you can fix it enough to get a decent harvest even if the plant looks like death. Luckily I live by myself so don't, won't, can't rely on anyone but myself and my trusty autopots. Well I have asked my puddycat to help once in awhile but he always gives me this FU look.

Hopefully she will pull thru for ya bud. It was looking to be a big plant. Never like to see a lost plant.

 

[Green75]

Thanks everyone...one thing I've learned over the years...they can come back...we will see..
