Re: Grandpa's 1st Grow - Soil - Tent - 300W LED - Blue Mystic & Northern Lights XL Au
I am not sure what is going on with the Rhino, it doesn't look like it will make it, I would snip off the bud and dry it, the rest looks like no use for any extra's...after you snip, pour out the dirt/roots/material on a newspaper outside and sift through the soil, look for pests and take a good look at the roots/root ball, they should be a constant off white/tan color after you rinse them with a hose.
What I think is going on with this plant is considered root rot, and doing a autopsy on the roots will confirm it. The roots will be mushy, probably very dark brown/near black looking when rinsed, the roots near the stem will be better/whiter/firmer than mid pot and bottom pot.
This is a sign of not enough drainage from the pots they are in and the temps are too low...I have had this happen many years ago in soil when germinating/starting my plants, over-watering soil and the temperature in the low 70's, raised the temps up to the low 80's and kept the soil slightly damp with run-off showing up maybe 30-60 seconds in a 2 qt size pot.
My disclaimer is that this was back then when the only grow light was from the sun so late winter indoors was still a low sunlight period and cloudy days were common
If I were in your and Kelley's shoes, cut your loss with the Rhino, salvage what you can, do a autopsy of the pot it is in to try and answer the unknown questions, and concentrate on the other gals that are not having many issues. If you find what I described when assessing the roots of the Rhino, that will help answer many of the questions on the rest of small quirks the others are having.

WTF?!? This happened to the rhino literally overnight! I have no clue what happened, and I'm not very confident about what to do. I need help here dot dot dot apparently an awful lot. Can you help a brother out, guys?

They were watered and fed with a 1/2 solution of ProTech, seaweed liquid and molasses. Kelley check the soil, and it is nice and moist she says.
