Big Problem!?!

[stickysensi21]

i had to leave town for a few days and had my sister water my plants for me while i was gone....well long story short she used the wrong cup to water with and the cup that she used was last filled with soapy water...anyway i get home and all the leaves are at like a 60 degree angle upwards compared to about 10 degrees when i left....other than that they look ok but they aren't going to die are they??
Do i need to flush them now or wait and see or what?
I don't have a digi but i will try to take the best pics i can with my phone and then post them....if this matter i am pretty sure the soap that was in there was just normal bar hand soap....i am sure it will screw up my ph so just wondering what i can do to alliviate any problems...thanks

here are the pics...i know they are bad but i have both before and after

from what i see i would not flush......

plants look great to me..... very healthy and thrive'n

IMO when the fans where at a 10* angle there where probly real thristy and now that your sister has watered them good they have come alive.......

people use soap product's all the time to fight knats and mites ;)

if ya sis every needs a job let me know :gthumb:

grow on

I had been watering every other day but had to go 4 days without water

sounds like you might have been over watering then???..... i water untill i get about 10% run off then let the pot dry out before watering again..... pot size will determine just how often.... usally 2-3 days for a 2 gallon pot and for me with a 5 gallon it's like 4-5 days.....got one in a 12 oz cup right now that get's it every other day ;)

happy grow'n bro

yeah you may be right...they hadn't really shown signs of overwater though other than the very tips pointing a little down....they actually dry out fairly quicky but they are about 30 inches tall in 2 gallon pots

i will let them go 3 days or so for the next couple weeks and see if they get better...thanks for your help

than the very tips pointing a little down....

i noticed that as well.....most likely a pH or fert's a bit hot not from over watering...

mine are in 1 gallon pots and allso around 30 inches and still growing and i water every 3 days right now.....

grow on

Hey stickysensi21,

A small amount of soap occationally is good for the soil to be honest, it works as a wetting agent and helps the soil absorb moisture better ;)

Good luck in your grow,
peace,
