Picture in ur head a plant that needs water, and limp. Except soil is wet. I inspected roots. No smell, no slime. I am not using any nutes. In flowering cycle. Other plants are fine. Humidity fine.Temp a bit cold at 65. Been growing in soil for 5 years and never seen this. Oh, no bugs and no mold. Checking PH next, but strange only one with a severe problem. I added a photo below.

to much nitrogen will cause weak stems
potassium deficiency will cause weak stems
The plant is wilted, even though the soil is moist. >>Over-fertilization, soggy soil, damaged roots, disease; copper deficiency (very unlikely).

There is her dying picture. She did have a cat crap in her a few weeks ago, but I got it out and took extra soil to be sure and bleached around the area. I was reading about Fusarium. Can this be transmitted from cat poo??

Mother of god you said picture in your head a limp plant, not something that looks dead. That thing is gone, I don't mean to sound like a dick but come on, cat shit? If you've been growing for 5 years you should know 65 deg is getting to the point of slow grow. Also cold temps can lock out nutes .

Yeah, I know it's dead, but I always want to learn. I find it hard to believe that only one plant in my grow room did this. The others are fine. It was in the warmest part of the room, so the temp was closer to 70 for this particular plant. The cat poo was my only variable. A white fungus had grown there weeks ago,exactly where the cat had crapped, and I recleaned it again,but didn't think it was critical to the story. Now, I am thinking otherwise.

That's EXACTLY what I said LOL! It'll take a lot of love to bring that back, but honestly, I'd just trash it. The stress caused by this if it does come back will incur other problems down the road.

If the location of where your cat's crap was is growing fungus, I'd seriously consider getting the cat checked out.

Bring on the Veterinarian sub-forum!! ;)

When cats shit they usually piss to, I got one he eats my plants all the time. Cat pis is very acidic so thats probably what killed your plant. Flush it and see what the PH is, My guess it's well over ten.

very acid.. Ph will be over 10? You might wanna check your knowledge on acidity and alkalinity.. Not tryina be a dick but that's just a little backwards lolz
7 is mid, <7 is acidic (1-6), and >7 is alkaline (7-14)

It's all good man, was learnin about chemicals the other day (bioluminescence, not meth lol) and I accidentally gave someone the advice of not keeping their temps under 100 and I was like "fuck! Ima get some shit about that" haha

THIS is the reason your plant died. Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite - NaClO) is highly toxic to any plant. I bet it collapsed immediately the next time you watered it after bleaching. Even the fumes. if strong enough, can kill or damage.
