MG moisture control soil....MG 10-52-10 & 2 gallon pots....:rolleyes:..probably too much P....I was thinking it was light bleaching at the time. Silly me.

Oh man, no wonder. Well, the good news is we live and learn. Peace and good grows down the road.

MG is chemical fert and looks like alot of it, especially if P is 52. Way to high for this plant, in my opinion. Even I overdid it when I added the Peter's as it had a P rating of 52. This cause the plant to finish too early.

Thanks to all for the helpful post. I was thinking along those lines and I treated with an all purpose 10-10-10 liquid plant food with micronutrients. I am gonna try to save her but she doesn't look to good.

Top, new growth is even looking sub par. Ill update tomorrow to see how she is......sucks cuz she was on a roll...then all of a sudden she is fallin apart.

looks to me like a phosphorus and or magnesium / manganese deficiency.

ya know it happened so fast I can't remember. Literally days...no new changes to environment except removing the male. I was thinking maybe N or P def. so I treated with an all purpose 10-10-10....Ill give her a couple of days and see how she is doing. She is still gaining vertical growth too which is puzzling.

Good info,
Based on that i looks like either a P def. or a PH issue. No water change though. I don't know why it would all of a sudden lock up due to ph flux. I check ph outta the tap almost everyday and very little flux. 6.8-7.0

for what its worth, i cut off anything that does not look healthy when i have problems. id cut her back and try to leave the best leaves that ya have.

what are you checking PH with ?

I ask because a nute lock out from PH just happened to us over a ph pen went bad. Looks just like yours. We found the problem early but still lost all major leaves. took about a week of getting over it and now they are coming back like mad with a new ph pen. We always keep an extra on hand because as said if found tooo late it's terminal.

Brand new ph pen....just calibrated.....maybe ill try cutting her back if I don't see improvement from the ferts
Do you cut to the stem?
Stems seem strong and healthy......
