Howdy and welcome to the Farm!Hello everyone, I am growing 3 Blue Triangle plants outdoors from F1 cuttings. One of them at 9' (3 stalks after topping) lost a stalk leaving 2, one of which was damaged (near snap at base) but seemed to recover for several days (no drooping leaves). Within the span of 4 hours the day before yesterday the leaves went from normal to drooping on the damaged stalk. Watered the plants normally yesterday and leaves recovered 90% by this AM only to droop again! The other plants are all fine so over watering doesn't seem to be the culprit. The base of the drooping stalk has an open wound being treated with a fabric plug soaked with HOCL (200 ppm) as an anti-fungal. Other than a fungus/rot/mold what else could cause this daily drooping?
Other notes- drooping stalk is the tallest at 9' but it's nodes are considerably farther apart than its siblings (very noticable now they are flowering) - insects in the stalk maybe?
-Plants all are topped and lollipopped
-No external signs of mold or serious insect damage
-original soil was coco/perilite and an organic 5-4-3 bio grow fert
-Plants are treated with Neem weekly during flowering
-Plants are treated with HOCL as needed for white powder mold
Thank you for any help!
Howdy and welcome to the Farm!
Pics would be much appreciated and would help us better serve you.
Also I highly recommend against using Neem for much longer in Flower - especially if it contains azadirachtin which may very well end up in your end product. Instead use this during flower - https://www.amazon.com/Bio-Pesticide-All-Natural-Insecticide-Pesticide-Better-Insects-Non-Phytotoxic/dp/B07PH46H8K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BKHQAK3XFDSH&keywords=grow+safe+biopesticide&qid=1661727054&sprefix=grow+safe+biopesticid,aps,707&sr=8-1
no, byy then you've already alterd the trichomes and the weed is going to taste shity. Lets see the plant and the damaged stalkThank you for the advice about Neem oil, I planned to stop 3 weeks before harvest to avoid any residue on the flower. It is the base of the stalk that is damaged, just makes me nervous since this is my first year growing legit in my state. Many smaller branches and stalks had less extensive damage due to wind but all recoverd. Thank you!
The wrapped ones you see in the back are different plants with duct tape for support from earlier damage. Lower branches were pruned, no bites. Yes they are way too close but I didn't realize how big they'd get...i see the stalk behind the cinderblock that is wraped but that doesn't show us the issue. Are you sure animals didn't bite on the main branch? also, to me it seems that the plant is hungery. You also have the plants way to close to each other. You don't want them this close to each other as the roots will fight for food.
ya, next time have like three feet away from each other. i see three seperate stalk and one of them being duct tape. If the duct tapes are for something else then where is the damaged stalk? I don't see anythhing wrong with the stalk.The wrapped ones you see in the back are different plants with duct tape for support from earlier damage. Lower branches were pruned, no bites.

When was the last time you feed them?
I missed the part of it being one branch on this particular plant ... That far wilted due to an injury to the branch probably means it won't recover. My experience is much the same as @HomesteaderI think you will end up cutting that branch. Once they go wilted like that they dont recover imo.
Is this crown rot? Soil looks awfully heavy. Perhaps more sand in your mix next year to get better drainageThats what I figured I'll cut it tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone for the help!
true, i think thats a big reason for the leaves to be like that. Sand, stones or even perlite would help for roots to have better air in the ground.Is this crown rot? Soil looks awfully heavy. Perhaps more sand in your mix next year to get better drainage
