Plant is dying!

[Kushdaddy1980]

one plant in my dwc is dying, its grown roots into the other 3 plants in the res. Should i rip it out, damaging all the roots? Leave it and risk getting rotted and slimy? Should i harvest early? Im at week 7 of flower.

Yikes!
Let me start by saying I don't have an answer for you. I grow in soil...
If the problem can not be corrected, then yes, I would harvest early and possibly make an oil with it. They appear to be in the same container, so I'm guessing they are sharing. Depending on what the issue is, it could spread to your other plant in the same container. I would work on finding the issue, unless it becomes a lost cause, then harvest.
Bump for better advice...

thanks man, youre right the roots have grown together, i cant figure out whats going on and i dont want it to spread.i started in dwc because of hieght restrictions due to growing in a cabinet. But since built a bigger grow space and totally switching my medium to and organic soil and fabric pots for the next set of clones.

What's the issues in the water???

Temps
pH
Nutes and % of manuf suggested amount
Any enzyme cleaners in water
How close is the HPS light

I'd try and save it before I'd just wack it

water temp about 72°f ,ph 5.8 ,ppm 690 , dyna-gro( bloom. ) cal -mag ,great white. Monster bloom (0-50-30). I added some molasses to my mix last week and they packed on some buds but this week i left out everything but the dyna-gro bloom and mychorizea

the cool tube is about 20" from the tops.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Why is she dying, she looks burnt, but hard to tell with HPS on

Are u using, are where you, full strength nutes??

 

[Kushdaddy1980]

 

[Kushdaddy1980]

checked the trichomes and found not many resin heads and theyre short and amber color on the dying plant, hardley any resin heads on the other plants but the others are milky/clear. Maybe this cultivar finishes early. The leaves are starting to turn yellow.

Also that tub is to shallow, bet that's part of the issue, can't see you have much airflow in there, probably packed with roots

that could be too the roots are matted up like a big ball of yarn two 12" air stones but its so thick i hear big bubbles building underneath and popping out the sides

That kinda normal at later stages of flower

Do you have any P booster like Koolbloom, that can help


You using full strength nutes???

 

[Kushdaddy1980]

i was using fullstrength nutes, and monster bloom for P booster. But started to cut back on nutes this week.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

That's probably an issue

Full strength is a no no in DWC unless yer a seasoned grower

Half is max you should do, tips look ruff, probably from too much N

pH????

 

[Kushdaddy1980]

i set my ph at 5.8

 

[Kushdaddy1980]

i dont know exactly what happened but im cutting these tommorrow after a flush.after 10 years ,im really discouraged with my dwc setup and im moving on to a new frontier ,living organic soil.moving on from being a cab grower and lessening my hieght restriction allows me to use taller containers and grow bigger better plants. Wish me luck guys, this ones a wrap!.. ill still give a smoke/damage report for ya'll that might be interested.

so this batch turned out to be a flop. Figured it got nutrient lockout from all the harsh chemicals, mainly monster bloom (0-50-30). I also failed to give it enough nitrogen and they all started to die. I cut them at 49 days, way too early. Harldey any trichs.dried up smelling like lawn grass and hay.only got 2 oz.made hash with it and it was smokable, but very dissapointed this round.

Ive since started an organic soil grow. Check me out on IG & RIU @Kushdaddy1980
