Good morning AG! I did a drain/fill 2 days ago and everything looked good at the time. I checked on her this morning and she is looking a bit sad. Temp gets down to about 68 at night and up to about 73 during the day. RH is staying around 48%. I did a manual ph check and its good. My water level and cocopod dampness seem to be relative to my last two grows. I did remove the lid and look at the bottom of the cocopod and I dont see any signs of the tap root poking through yet… maybe I damaged the root when I had to move it… either way, any expert advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated!

@SilverGrobo I was looking through those links you attached me to and I’m going to use some of that info. Thanks!
I am going to put a little heater in that room at night to keep the temp up in the low 70s and when I get home today, I’m going to do a little cocopod surgery and see what I find. Maybe the root is twisted or growing in the wrong direction

Yea, no doubt. Just another prime example of how autos (and more specifically the critical purple strain) just grow and grow and grow. Lol. Im hoping to at least create a different experience than most have had with this strain

Looks like @SilverGrobo came through! Thanks again! The root was definitely all balled up. I lost a small part of the root when opening it up. It was all tangled and webbed through the pod in that area. I was able to save most of the root and I was able to get it straightened back down the pod (all the root in the picture was saved. There was more intertwined in the pod that I couldn’t pull free). I also will run heat overnight tonight in that room to see if that helps and will analyze in the morning. Luckily I’m not far in and I have one more critical purple seed if this girl doesn’t pull through. I also brought my pod up just a touch.

Hey everyone! Im hoping for a Christmas miracle… if I had more grows under my belt, I’d almost certainly scrap this and start over. However, as much as I want to grow a “perfect plant” with max yield, I would rather learn how to work through hardships even if it extends time and/or limits my yield. So with that said, is there anything anyone would suggest for me to try to save this? I was out of town for that past 5 days so its been on its own… I’m 99.999% sure the issue is due to how I planted the germinated seed. I know I broke part of the root off with my last adjustment. I dont think I disturbed it this time, but you can see where the root is growing out of the side of the cocopod. I did just raise the pod up slightly more for now but would love any insight if there is any to offer. As always, thanks everyone!

Damn @Chad_Johnson sorry to see this… seems like a tough situation to be in especially after the previous try :[ I honestly am not too sure what to do myself.

I feel like the root is trying to go downwards, just looks like it’s having a hard time finding it’s way.

Maybe if you can increase humidity inside the Grobo it would help the plant take in water from the top instead of the root system as well until it can be seated properly to help it do better maybe?

Is the pod still wet on the bottom? I feel like the root will still be able to uptake water until it can find it’s way down there.

I’m trying to think of ways to do pod surgery in my head… no idea if you can pull her out and re-situate to make the roots going down or not?

I hope someone has some kind of solution… I feel like you could possibly wait it out and hope that the plant keeps drinking.

We may have a Christmas miracle in the making. The leaves are bouncing back and the tap root has decended :raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands:

Its a wireless temperature/humidity gauge. They are pretty inexpensive and work great. They even connect to your phone through their app so you can see your readings without having to open the door.
