Help

So my baby’s got caught in a bit of a rain storm....I brought them in ASAP but it’s been about 36hrs and I’m seeing 2 and possibly a third baby wilt or droop? What can this be from and what can I do to help them or is it too late?? @Emilya please help!!!

just let them dry out... they will be fine, they just know that they got their fill of water.

Should I use a fungicide or anything for an ounce of prevention? I’m scared their gonna die

 

[Emilya Green]

a double cry for help! The roots are drowning... they will be fine once they have dried out.

 

[Emilya Green]

why would they die from rain? They are a lot tougher than you are giving them credit for.

 

[Yamamama74]

Your probably right but I’m the kind of person whose going to be sad harvesting after loving them all summer

I’m a suck eh? I am trying so hard and would feel ashamed if I kill them

They just look so droopy and sad instead of their normal salutations to the sun

it is good that you are so sensitive to their needs, but rest assured. At least you now know what over watering looks like.

I will post a pic of my other ones I almost killed, the growth is awesome!!! They’re so much bigger!!

Thankful that’s all it is!! And thanks for your help!! It was a pretty hard rainfall and come to think of it 3 of them got it worse than the others. The rain almost knocked them over. I have just been letting them be since then but out of nowhere they started drooping and I got worried

take a drop of water that is proportionately as large as what was hitting the plants, and smack yourself over the head with it... and see how you look afterward. lol... seriously though, the lower roots are simply protecting themselves from the water and transpiration has temporarily slowed down. They will sort it all out soon enough.

no, you need a system that can be adjusted.
