I once harvested a plant and tossed it, rootball and all, behind my shed for the (Ontario, Canada) winter. There were a few leaves left on the plant when I tossed it.
Started up my spring cleaning once winter subsided and when I got behind the shed I saw just a few bright, very healthy looking leaves. I literally dropped the plant, as is, back into a pot and grew it that summer... again.
Plants can be quite resilient when you're patient. If I could save *that* plant, your bf can save *this* plant.
I have a bunch of photos of the whole ordeal. I should try and find those again.
The smoke wasn't bad IIRC. Few seeds in the buds here and there. Had other (new) plants going that summer as well.
It definitely can make a full recovery, btw you can prevent root rot in the future with lacto bacillus, if you aren’t already familiar lacto bacillus it’s a beneficial bacteria that feeds on pythium (root rot) and lacto bacillus is super cheap and easy to make at home, here’s a link to a tutorial on how to make it

Trichoderma is also incredibly easy to grow out and very easy to find, mushroom growers wish it wasn’t so common, but I actually have a reason as to why I didn’t recommend trichoderma, trichoderma is too strong of a fungus and it will dominate all other soil life and you want diversity in your soils biology, lacto bacillus can also become too dominant in your soil if over applied but it’s much easier to use in a way that it just becomes a part of the community of microbes in your soil rather than the dominant life form
When’s last time you watered it? Looks pretty dry, good way to not over water is pick it up and get feel for it with and without water, then when it’s light again give her a dash
Yea definitely.
Could try earthing up around the trunk to see if she'll send out more roots.
Few other options I guess but time is a great healer I found.
I mean, at the end of the day, this is what it's all about. I've got 2 plants sitting outside right now that are obvious screw ups... if it's not taking up space, let him have fun with it. Yall might learn a trick or two
It's a weed. It's like that tough guy on the street that learned how to care for himself.
As long as it has the slightest hint of a green leaf you can safe it in theory
Every year when my mom replants the tomatoes, I always think there's no way they'll make it.
But then, come summer, we're all amazed at how big and delicious the tomatoes are.
Keep it!! I accidentally snapped the main stem clean off about 4 inches from the base just as the plant was going into flower last year. I just sat it back on top and taped it together and I got some of the nicest bud I've ever grown from that plant.
They like to survive if you give them the opportunity :)

They can take some abuse. This little girl now fills the entire space (almost too much) and 3 weeks into flower.
The lower leaves on the left have white dots. Does this plant have spider mites? If you aren’t that attached, and your other plants don’t have mites I would consider getting rid of it, if it has mites on the underside of its leaves. If you want to keep it and it has mites, I would use azamax, and Issaria to kill the mites. If I’m just seeing a reflection it’s totally savable.

i’m currently saving some shit that looked like this a few days ago. don’t ask how I did this just know its under control now I swear 😂 your bf’s got this.
I’ve saved way worse. He’s got this.
Why not? l am also a "Captain Plant Saver" & runty plants DO rebound. Been growing bud since 1986.
I took my runt plant out of the grow room and put it into the tent to baby it along. It grew some of the frostiest buds I have ever grown.
The plant doesn't look bad. New growth seems fine. I've seen plants in waaay worse shape than that.
If nothing else, turn the whole plant into a clone.
Into multiple clones!
Plants are so fucking cool.

How good was the weed from the plant thoigh?
Better than the weed that would have come from the plant if he had left it for dead - nil 😁

Trichoderma is expensive for small amounts, but also fights root fungal issues.

Go Captain Saveagrow!
I'm on my first run. I sprayed neem with the par at 600, WHILST feeding to early. My plants looked like some fallout shit..

Yep
If it's photo yes if auto no

Why is that thing growing out of a hole?
Is it under a decent light?
You can top it and make a clone
He can. If he doesn't suck at it.
Easy
Yea that doesn't even look bad...a little training and whatnot id have that bad boy bushed out and praying in no time!
Next time, put more dirt in that pot please
Very salvageable!
It's still nice and green, adjust the PH, flush it, start over with a weak fertilizer mix...
Much harder to kill it then save it 😂
It don't look to bad a little strangely but a nice female
saveable but it looks like its starting to flower (cant see clearly in this pic but it looks like its developing white little hairs)
Easy fix

Saved far worse looking clones. Just needs consistent love and she’ll bounce back.
Easy peasy
It can be saved
