Hi guys, I posted this as a Reply to my original post (in newbie plant problems), but didnt get any activity on it and was not sure if the forum would alert anyone I had responded or if I needed to do a new post. Please forgive the repetition of info as I learn to use your forums

Heres the new problem, or the continuing old problem...
I think it is boytritus.
It forms at the branch node - grey and fuzzy and goes INTO the stem - bruises the stem until it is so weak it must be removed.
My previous experience with B was actually ON the almost ready buds in '07; I identified it as Boytritus because of the telltale wee bud leaves suddenly drying up and alerting me - dug into the '07 bud, it was slimy - so I rid the garden of the diseased part of the plant, sterilized everything and was able to save most of her.

This '08 the blight seems to focus on the stems/nodes.
I have used Seranade and Neem and though it has slowed the blight, I have now found "B" on the branch node of another plant.

Another weird thing, the "host plant" (who got the B first and has now passed it on to my other plant) has periodic funny colored leaves - like copper color advancing to yellow, green veins, then keel over dead. This doesnt seem to follow any kind of a pattern, all leaves at all levels seem to be susceptible. None of my other plants have this weird coloring...
IS THERE A GOOD ALL AROUND FOOD THAT IS ORGANIC AND HAS THE EASE AND COMPLETENESS OF MIRACLE GROW? I know MG says they have an "organic mix" but...?

For the Boytritus, can I use either Seranade or Neem systemically in the water for the plants in question? Or SM90 in the water? Or...?
Topical isnt killing it though I must say again - it sure as heck as s-l-o-w-e-d it.
We have fog here - blistering hot in the day - FOG at night.

Last question - I have a plant I thought was Indica - really really realllllllly bushy & shaggy looking - thick leaves and mostly 3 leaves on each plant hand as opposed to 5, like nothing I have seen before. Someone told me the 3 leaves are due to the plant focusing on flowering - but the plant has always had a 3 leaf output.

Now the plant is producing 1 to 3 new leaves each hand. AND it is so dang bushy that inner core leaves are keeling over dead, soft and easy to pull from the main stems and wilty yellow or brown.
This plant, from a seed, has been flirting with early flowering since early June (She sprouted in March). She's smelly, and now looks like she is sincerly gonna flower, but the leaves dropping away in all areas of the plant is freaking me out. All her leaves are kinda dull, dry and not very vibrant. I do regular leaching
(about every 3 weeks due to our way salty hard water), have been using a good seaweed and fish emulsion mix - with periodic chicken poo shakes. Now that she is looking kinda hairy and fuzzy with thc I have switched to bat guano milk shake. I did a course of Miracle Grow to see if she perked up and she did - but is still dropping leaves. I have also leached and just let her alone thinking I did too much of something - but same results...
Any ideas, o ones-that-know-way-more-about-this-than-I-do?
