This info was all in October, but bold is in the last couple months.

To me, it appears like something is either blocking the transfer of nutrients to the petiole's, something is going up-n-down the stem chomping at the petiole base (are leaves missing or munched, or do they just fade away?) or the plant has a disease that come with the plant.
There is no sign of mites now, no bad leaves or munch marks. Used SNS-217
and alchol for large bunches. Also two no pest strips, but the SNS-217 is what i believe really killed off the mites and there eggs, good stuff and it was free.


Is the base of the petiole have the normal splay where it attaches to the stalk, or has it been munched? Are the attach points on the nodes themselves a 'normal' color, or are there viens of discoloration travelling up or down the stalk?
There is no munching at this time. There are viens running up the main stems only, but this plants mother grew this way and this was before any sickness of mother plant. So it seemed like a normal thing with this plant.

Would help to know if you added or subtracted any nutrient or additive up to two weeks or so fefore the leaves started jumping-ship.

Did you change or alter the soils between transplants?
I am using Earth Jucie Grow, Bloom, Meta-K and every Friday or Saturday I give one gallon of Fossil Fuel. Mother plant grow this way, but clone was taken before any issues started at least i think. The soil is same brand, i like it ok, just needed to add perlite, but getting a different soil for Purples, which are filling up their cups now so soon they will be re potted soon with FF.

Does this happen to every stalk, or is it 'branch-specific'?
How many generations of this particular plant has this clone seen? Perhaps it's just 'tuckerd-out'.

Tiz about all I can think of without going over schedules and growroom conditions. Hopefully, it's not something that can travel from one plant to the next.
Its only happening on the main stems, the other growth is great with none of the new pistils affected. This is the only clone that made it. So it would be over a year old. And yeah, i was thinking it might be age or hoping maybe.

This is the only plant in the grow area and after its finished everything will be grown in my tent.
