Bet you never seen this before! HELP!

Hey guys and gals. I just came home from camp today and was checking on the girls. Everything is looking nice, except this one plant. It's a BC big bud from JOTI. I've grown it out many times (same mother) and never seen it do this.

Growth is stunted, and only 1 branch is starting to turn pale green and the leaves are showing signs of either deficiency or burn?


What should I do?

How old is the mother? They can start giving bad cuts.

Those pictures are hard to see but it looks like possible white spots which could be bugs. I can't tell from the pictures. Could just be the lighting but might want to take a closer look.

Mother is about 9 months old. Have taken 3 rounds of cutting so far, this is the 3rd round. Mother is being flowered outside this summer.

I'm not sure what pests ide be looking for, but I havent seen any indication of a pest problem in the grow medium or the plant itself. I should mention that I did a pretty heavy defoliation on her about 9-10 days ago. Maybe I accidentally broke the branch or something causing it not to take nutrients?

I'm looking at the other plants, and I notice some of their leaf serrations raised as well and some minor tip burning here and there.

Assuming it isnt heat/humidity related, it's likely pH or over fertilizing related. I've had the leaf serrations raising issue happen before when over doing bloom nutrients.. might be that the Big Bud cut is just more sensitive to it, thus a more extreme reaction.

Try cutting back a bit on your bloom inputs, and make sure your pH is in check

That's possible. Inspect that branch very close and see. I do some supercropping and any cracks I make on mistake swell up and close within a day or two. You'll notice the knuckle where she healed herself. Otherwise as xtsho said, there may be pests lingering. The mother should be fine at 9 months and only 3 cuts. I don't even think that spilling some nutes in that side of the pot would do that. It should affect the whole plant if I'm not mistaken.

The last idea I have is this: If that branch is lower than all the others, being it's a clone the nodes shouldn't be symmetrical, it may be showing a deficiency in the older growth.
