Help, Buds Wilting 5 Weeks into Flowering

[grandchet]

I have some Emerald Snow that's starting showing serious problems in the last few days. I'm in Ocean Forrest Soil, 5 gallon pot, under 1000 watt,watering with pbp flower 25ml per gallon, hygrozine 6ml per gallon, superthrive 1 drop per gallon, and just started pbp sweet 20ml per gallon. 3 days after giving sweet problems started showing. Other Emerald Snow's in my garden look fantastic. At first I thought it was not getting enough light as my garden is little crowded because I veged a little too long, but after repositioning it to get more light problems continue.

Leaves around the bud are culing up and turning brown on the edges. The brown is spreading to the buds on the smaller buds. I pruned away anything that looked like it was dying, but it is not helping. Please help. Is it mold, should I scrap this plant? Can it be saved?

think you may need a bigger pot.......

edit: and I'd stop using nutes.....I think you've burned them because of too much nutes and not enough root room.

Transplant larger with fresh soil.....no more nutes......are you checking ph?

[grandchet]

Yeah, ph is between 7.0 and 6.8, i am going to start flushing with water as soon as my water district finishes its repaairs this afternoon. I have no room for a larger pot, should I try just transplanting with new soil?

Edit: it is also the smallest of my emerald snows and all the others are doing just fine in a 5 gallon pot.

I went directly from 1 gallon to 5 gallon. This was one of my lagging plants from the beginning. Is it possible that the roots are just now reaching the bottom of the pot where a large deposit of the nutrients that I fed it gathered? Wouldn't flushing with tap water fix this? Should I pbp's flush process to speed it up? please help, the buds on this plant look so good, I don't want to lose them.

This is great info which will help explain why transplating straight from a 1 gal to a five gal most likely caused your problem. I think your plant needs new soil yes.....so if you can't go up, perhaps trim the roots a bit and fresh soil sounds like a good way to go to me.

Your ph is "a touch high" but I'm primarily a hydro grower so I tend to concentrate on stuff like that. Fresh soil will add new nutes at the correct ph already. ;)

Also consider a good "zyme" product (cannazym, sensizym, etc) to use for root health. Wilting CAN be a sign of disease as well......but before roots rot they die....back to rootbound again capice? :cool:

Hope it IS just rootbound and not true root rot.

Good luck. :)

Edit.....you are using hygrozyme I think so that makes me lean more towards rootbound than root rot. ;)

oh and stop cutting things off it as well.
