First time Grower having trouble.

[Bob From Accounting]

Ok this is my first time and i had help along the way but some times they cant help.
So its almost done and ready to go but in the last week shit went down hill.
Not sure whats up but yeah i came here hoping for some help. Any info will be accepted.
I water it every day with about 1 gallon of water. it has good draining and well ventilated.
It is a out door plant in a green house. The problem is also starting from the top and has not worked its way down yet. but a few other spots have started showing up. I have the ph levels always at 6.5 to 7.0 and i use a half of oz of age old bloom 5-10-5 for last 3 to 4 weeks almost every feeding..
I included a pic to show ya what it looks like.
Please help and i understand if i missed something or what not.. I have tryed to look stuff up on the interweb for anything help and can not find my problem or i have over looked it.
if i missed anything let me know..
Thanks in advance for your time.

Are you seeing any cobwebs around those upper buds? You could have a bud worm or other insect nesting in there and chewing stuff up. I'd probably cut a few lobes away and explore a little. Be on the look out for mold as well.

I just went out and looked it all over and i found no webs or mold.. The plant it self never gets water on it. I also looked for anthing crawling on it. would a bad PH level do this if i changed it 2 weeks ago.. I was using a 5 gallon bucket to do the watering and fert and ph levels.. i would use a couple ph down drops. then i switched to a 2 gallon black watering bucket and i had to use like.. for say A LOT more ph down to get to the right numbers. Just don't seem right to me so i just went back to the 5 gallon bucket.
Thanks

I would start with watering only when the soil is dry (you can tell by the weight of the pot) and I don't know what the recommended mixing ratio is, but follow the directions for mixing 1 gallon (consider going 1/2 strength ) of your fertilizer and only feed every 7 - 10 days.

And I would check closely for bud rot at the point where those unnaturally yellow/brown and very sick leaves attach to the stem. Also check the stem for brown/grey discoloration as there may be stem rot as well.

I went in and dug on the top peace a little and this is what i see..

 

[Bugeye]

Yeah, that's what I was afraid might be in there. That looks like bud rot or botrytis. You want to remove that cola as carefully as possible and get it far away from your plant. I would then do a diluted H2O2 spray of the entire plant to kill any spores that are on the plant. Get a couple more second opinions but don't wait too long or that shit can take over.

So if that is my problem can i harvest whats not rotted out and just harvest early and still get something from it? this is a pic of the hole plant.Or is it best to treat it and see what i can save and wait for 3 weeks or what not.

I agree with Bugeye, cut it out. monitor plant daily use suggested spray, looks to early to harvest

 

[Bob From Accounting]

Ok I cut alot off last night. I mixed some h202 and sparyed the hole plant down.. thanks for the help guys. Glad I caught it before it was worse. how many times show I spary it down? Just once or like once a week just to make sure.. I got a fan on it 24/7 now to keep it nice and dry. but like I said thanks for your time u guys rock!!

 

[Bugeye]

I would recommend you continue to treat it aggressively and get your final product tested just to be safe. I would work an organic fungicide into the rotation and continue to spray with diluted H2O2. If it shows up during the curing process just toss it. Read up on it and know what you are dealing with so you can evaluate the risks.

 

[Bob From Accounting]

Sounds good.. I will get it tested and read up on all of it.. Thank u VERY much for your time and knowledge u have helped a very sad man.. lol well happy now. =)
