Ok so i got this DWC set up in my closet right, 10 plants 3 strains (3 wonderwoman/3 purepowerplant/ 4 ak48) and just ran into a MAJOR ACCIDENT where my WHOLE SETUP took a 6 foot crash. I had three res. smash down and spill all over my bedroom. This all just happened this morning so any help on this subject would be GREATLY apprecaited! the plants are in 5 inch net pots and only about 2 or 3 three of the 10 actually still had some hydroton in the pot after the crash, after recovering the hydroton washing it and removing most of the root and leaf matter out i put it back into the pot stand the plants up the best i could and gave them a fresh batch of nutes.
I fugured this is this best i could do for them right now and would just have to see how they recover. The only real damage (other then to the roots)i had seen was to one of the PPPlants had broken the tip (had never seen this before but the stem looked like it had actually exploded!) so i cut it off and went to breakfast. Got back from breakfast and 9 out of 10 stood right back up! truely amazing! these plants are f#$king troopers!! the only one that didn't stand back up was the one i cut (ppp) and upon futher examination it had broke/exploded in two other places lower on the stalk..so i cut her again and am hoping for the best
now I guess i just wait..but i know im not outta the woods yet lol..and i have major newb what if syndrome lol..i had a buddy tell me not to worry about it and that i probly wont even be able to tell it happened in 4 err 5 daysand i didnt believe him left and came back and they all (but 1) stood back up!
I guess my main concern is the stuff i wasnt able get out of the hydroton..Should i wait a few days and then try and replace it/transplant them? I have read some post on here about how stuff cought in pumps causing ph level spikes. The plants are 1 month old fem seeds. would this be a good or a bad time to take clones. Im kind of worried they might die and would really like to keep that exact strain/genitics going (they were all looking soo fabulious)
This is kind of left field and chancey IMO but what about trying to clone the whole plant? to start a whole new root system? i dont think this would work? any opinions or ideas would awesome tho! Happy holidays! hope yours were better then mine! lol
