My guess would be bacterial disease. I think if it was a fungus, you would have already reconized it as one with your experience. It could also be some sort of microscopic nematode, each variety attacks roots first, then envade plant traveling through the capillaries, then attacking different plant parts according to what variety of nematode it is. Post #2 suggests this is a posibility too. I'd go ahead & harvest early, because if its either of the above, its too late to stop it now. I have natural ways to drive away nematodes & prevent re-infestation. Its marigolds! Yep. Used them all my life & it works. If you have or can find any, (save the seed for next spring), pull them up, dry them out, crumble them up & work into the soil all around your grow. If nemos aren't the problem, this won't hurt a thing, be good prevention for the future, since the little bastards infest the soil. Next spring, scatter the marigold (sm french type) seed around your grow like you're sewing grass seed. I'm so sorry, you put so much work into your girls you must be heart broken. I hope not too many were affected.~~~~~PEACE~~~~~
catbuds Reviewed by catbuds on . help, think i have a big problem!!! Ranger outdoor grow '13 Have something attacking, first noticed a darkening, drying look on the smallest, lowest, most interior buds. Advice from Bigfoot and couple other young wannabes, the plant is naturally pruning itself because of shady environment I created. So today I went out to remove, it's moving up the plant and out the branches. Took three entire plants because it had reached the colas. I'm thinking some kind of soil born disease. It's not mold. Any ideas, what about Rating: 5
