yes, its in a pot, probly 18" or so. Definitely could be that the roots are getting too hot. Have you heard of any ways to keep the roots cool aside from the obvious (moving it inside, water, etc)??

I dont think its overfertilization though. I am generally on the light side with the nutes, especially during flowering- last time i fertilized was actually probly a month ago.

Could something like this happen due to the roots being severed or something?? I recently put a small stake in the soil to hold one of the branches up. I've done this before on indoor with no problems, but i usually stay very shallow and towards the edge... This time i am within a couple inches of the base of the plant (altho still pretty shallow). But would this be the type of symptoms of something like this??

Thanks for the replies ya'll.
