should i cut my losses?


Recommended Posts

My little seedlings got sprayed with herbacide a couple of days ago, and i couldnt get the hose onto them fast enough to wash the herbacide off. they have been wuilting and the leaves have turned yellow (most of them). The seedlings are about 5 inches high. I was wondering if i keep watering them whether they will flush the poison out themselves (i have been doing this several times a day). I even thought maybe i should take a healthy leaf and try to clone it?

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Most modern herbicides are a surfactant type of poison, it works from the leaves down, flushing the root system is not going to do anything to help. The label on the bottle should give you advice on how to deal with the problem by cleaning the leaves but as this happened a few days ago I would say you have left it a few days too long to do anything about it. I would cut my losses and start fresh, be careful with the weed killer this time.
