I own a co-op in Oregon, and the partners have a combined experience of over 40 years. I am the owner and manager, and I come to you as a last resort to try and save a lovely lady whom none of us can figure out what is wrong with. I have exhausted every possible remedy I can imagine, and hope that a larger community can figure it out. I even consulted the local extension office to no avail. All the other ladies are growing spectacular. This is one of ... a lot. She was a mother, as were 12 others. I managed to put all the others into explosive veg mode, but not her. Everyone else is showing pistils, but not her. There were bug problems with several plants, including grindal worms, japanese cucumber beetles and fungus gnats. All known bugs are in check. The mother in question has no visible bugs above, or below 6 inches deep. All plants have a surplus of nutes, and micro-nutes, and have been innoculated with over 30 beneficial bacterium and microrhizae. The lady in question is neither over or under watered. But she is dying. I know this from my 7 years of experience. I wont be hurt in any way if she dies, but as a dedicated lover of cannabis plants, I want to know what went wrong, and maybe just maybe save her.
The lady in question is outdoors. She is in a bed of coco based soil. The soil mix is proven, with over 1000 sucessful plants as a basis (6-8 lbs dry yeild). All the other ladies are about 2-3 weeks from flowering, but she is dying, no pistils, and I am trimming off more dead leaves than new growth. I realize that she is probably a gonner. If she can be saved, great, but more importantly, I want to be a cannabis jedi master, and understand why she failed. Is it because she was a mother for too long? I managed to make the other mothers thrive, even though we thought many would not make it. My current theory is, I think she has a form of plant bazed cancer from old age. I have a clone who is quite simply retarded. She doesnt even know which way the sun is, and manages to grow half of her shoots inwards or towards the ground. Also said clone is extremely fragile and no one but me is allowed to touch it, because even the wind breaks stems.. Yet,she is starting to flower, and even though smaller, will outproduce this mother. I ruled out bad genes. All of her growth looks good, she just cant outpace the dying foliage. If one of your brilliant minds can deduce this problem, I will not only be very grateful, and give you a virtual cookie, but also maybe give you some other reward if possible. We are a fast expanding grow op, and in need of qualified growing managers. Anyhow, you need to be local. First figure out whats wrong with this poor lady! Other pics are of other parts of the otherwise excellent garden.
