Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting on these sorts of forums, so bare with me and feel free to tell me if I'm missing some important information. I am currently growing two different plants outdoors in pots and Plagron Growmix, one of which is a Strawberry Cheesecake Auto (going strong in its 6th week of flower) and the other one is from random seeds I got from a friend, which is now in its second week of flower and has reached about 6 feet in height. For the latter, everything went fine until now during the stretching phase, but i noticed yesterday that one small lower branch was severely wilted in a way that looked like it had received no water.
Apart from a small thrips infestation two weeks ago, which was quickly resolved, the plant has had no issues and still looks perfectly healthy and strong. What puzzles me is that this wilting only seems to affect this single lower and small branch. Going through forum threads, I see many different ideas on what might be the problem, and this is where I'm at:
-No visible damage or dark moldy spots on the stem
-No separation between the main stalk and the stem
-No clear sign of nutrient lockout on other branches. The plant is in a makeshift 15gal(60l) pot and has been fed with Plagron Terra Grow then Bloom at around 75% of the maximum dosage with each watering of pH adjusted water. I haven't flushed it yet because no sign of this being needed has appeared, though I am a newbie so I might have missed something.
-The weather has been warm and dry, and I don't think I overwatered it. But I skipped watering yesterday and let the soil dry out a bit more to check anyway; this evening, the entire plant appeared wilted, and after watering, it returned to normal with the exception of the affected branch.
I'm really hoping this trend won't spread up the plant in the coming days and would really appreciate any input on this weird occurrence!
