I over watered this gal...can she be saved? Banana purple punch auto, week 4 of flower.

[HomegrownOhighO]

So upset with myself. No deficiency this entire run with this specific plant and then disaster struck. I noticed some yellowing of the leaves earlier this week and contributed it to being a week later on my normal feeding routine but its more than evident that I am wrong. This plant is obviously over watered. I moved the fans more focused on the pot and the soil is drying out but can a plant recover? I'm in week 4 of flower. I also should note I've been using the self watering bases from AC infinity. With the particular plant I would leave a 1L out for supplemental feedings on top when I filled the base with fresh water. I completely forgot to top dress my dry amendments before giving the 1L of supplemental water on top. So, the next day I did my top dress and thought I gave as little water as possible to wet the soil but apparently it was too much. My mistake, live and learn, I reckon. So, here we are, I really hope I didn't just kill my gal. I am open to any suggestions and or advice to save this lady. Thanks!

just dry it now? if it's overwatering issue only that seems to be right fix and she should recover
fan lower so it will blow on pot few days will speed things up

Should I trim the affected leaves or just let it try to bounce back for a few days?

 

[Sunin]

let her recover, don't cut on plant that is in the bad shape, blow on pot gently and come back to the tent after 48h

What we call "overwatering" is watering too frequently, not watering too much volume. Correct watering frequency will depend on the media used. In soils and amended soils, I water slowly to runoff, only when the pots are very light. In coco or 100% peat, I'll water more frequently in smaller amounts.

I am using promix hp. I definitely gave her too much or should I say too soon, trying to wet the dry amendments after already watering the day before

This is how she's looking today. I'm so mad at myself and about to just cut my losses. I don't see how this gal could recover.

 

[Sunin]

there's something more going on there if she looks like this after 24h
taking under consideration overwatering, watering too often I would go in direction of some fungus problem in soil? as it starts to look more and more like root rot unfortunately
Maybe some tougher heads will come and help. Would be such a waste- nice plant

take out that self watering crap,.
lift the bag up, is it heavy or light?
i think she needs a watering,.
what size bag is that?

It's a 5 gallon bag and the soil is completely dry at this point.

so that size will need 1 gallon of water, watered slowly, say in amounts of 1000ml at a time with say 5 -10 mins in between waterings,. making sure to cover the entire surface and letting soak in,..

 

[HomegrownOhighO]

Agree, looks bone-dry

So, should I start with half gallon? How much should I water.

I am in fact getting rid of it. I will try your recommendation to save this gal.

Look at your first picture, That's a classic plant that's thirsty; next time you see that you'll know.

Recommend learning what a wet dry / cycle is, I wrote this for someone a few years ago

Bottom leaves yellowing and turning up

Best way to learn a proper wet/dry cycle is to take a pot the same size as you're using and fill it with the same medium mix you're using and set it aside *dry then when you think a plant is ready to be watered pick it up and compare it to the weight of the *dry pot you've set aside if they...

A sick leaf is still a functioning leaf
