Evoluto This is my first time growing. I’m on week 8 after planting outdoors. A couple of the plants started developing dark marks on a couple of leaves. This happened to another plant a couple of weeks ago and it really took a hit and it’s only now starting to come back around. I think it has to do a nutrient deficiency but I am not sure on how to address it.
Yesterday I noticed that one of the plants has started to develop bud rot. I trimmed the spots that seem to be moldy. Not sure what else to do right now. I will keep a fan nearby it on low and keep an eye out on how it developments
Looks like the nugs have purple in them, so it could just be the leaves fading.
It could also be a phosphorus deficiency, though. Give it some rock phosphate and keep an eye on it. If it starts clearing up, it was a phosphorus deficiency. If it sticks around, it's genetics and/or fading.
I hope this helps.
High Evoluto,
This is a calcium deficiency in the early stage. You need to add some cal/mag with your nutrient solution.
When your cannabis plant has a calcium deficiency, the main symptom that you'll be able to notice is brown or bronze splotches or spots on your leaves. It is also often associated with yellowing
Goodluck bro! 😋
I’m wondering what I should do about this bud rot issue starting to develop on my plant. I trimmed off the affected area but I’m wondering if I might have to cut more off or harvest early? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Ach! You're making me cry over MY issue with this! I had bud rot on my Blackberry Moonrocks... After making some paranoid decisions, and LEARNING from them, here's what I'm going to suggest you do: Yes, cut out the rot, then spray that area with a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution (if you have 3% hydrogen peroxide, just mix 1 part of it with 2 parts water). This will kill the spores - but don't spray it so much that you're soaking it... Then you simply need to monitor your plants VERY CAREFULLY every single day to detect any other sites that may develop (and they probably will)... Examine every single bud... One plant of mine first showed it in the main cola... another plant, it showed up in one of the lowest buds... Cut them out as soon as you see them and do the spray again. And get some fans going - even outside... the fans will help reduce the humidity which is what makes this happen.
YOU are going to have to determine when you should harvest or how long you can keep her going... it's just a judgement on your part - there are no "rules" here. I thought I had ONE plant that had escaped the issue - but it didn't as I found some on her just a couple of days ago... she was close enough to harvest that I chopped her top half and it's now hanging (and btw, found a little tiny bit of rot as I was trimming her - so THAT got cut out as well and all the kief that the rot had fallen into was pitched, too...). Me, personally? I'm never growing outdoors again! Bugs, rot, foxtailing... ugh.
Good luck.... hope you can salvage a good deal of her harvest!
