Is there any chance of me saving this plant?

[Ruen]

this is my first ever plant so it has large sentimental value and i was wondering if anyone could give me any advice to save it.

 

its been mutilated by bugs burned by lights and over watered a few times.

 

 

the cupboard im growing in is tiny about half a metre deep and wide and adjustable up to about 1.7m high. it doesnt have a door i have a sheet stappled over the door but it is usually open to allow ventilation. i have 2 20watt(4200k lumen) CFL in there and am currently in the process of aquiring more sockets to add more.

 

they are growing in soil and im using yates leafy vegetable plant food.

 

my younger plants are doing great but id really like to be able to rescue this guy.

 

 

im hoping to move him outside if i can along with my other plants.

 

 

 

any help to save it?

If it was a dog I'd put it down. Seriously man it's been tortured enough, let it go and release it from its misery, send it to the great compost heap in the sky, let it return to the soil from which it came, she's dead Jim

You can save her mate! Do you know if she is a she? If the plant is still to show sex, then only save it for practice if you have the space and are happy for the risk. Coz it might be a boy afterall.

 

If it were me I'd repot into a nice loose mix like Ev said. Some perlite for drainage.

Did you say bugs? And do you know what kind mate? Are they in the medium?

You will be best to get rid of them. Look at stopping them from getting into the cupboard altogether.

 

Then start foliar feeding her lightly, in combination with waterings.

 

Make sure all the usual requirements of light, temp and air movement are met and she'll pick up quick for ya Ruen

 

Have fun with it mate

im hoping to move him outside if i can along with my other plants.

 

I'd hospitalize it provifing the mostlight possible. If the weather is fine for 7 days or more I's consider putting it outdoors now. As others have said get your Drainage (oxygen /air ratio) working well, ya ph right, and continue feeding nutes.

 

I say where there is green ther is always life & hope.

 

 

I'm in the process of reveging my pride and joy which I nearly lost.

 

Goodluck - Ruen
