Short and quick to the point: noticed one day a plant had completely wilted over the night and was not going to come back from it. at least to me, further inspection I found the base of the stock to be some what rotted and I saw a thin piece of what looked like a shaving falling off from the stock, which I pulled and it took off the whole skin of the stock and I was able to easily peel it up to the first node. And the roots at the base were semi root rot looking, which none of the other plants seem to have. And then visible brown growth or fungus on the stock and below the nodes in a single streak. Noticed 1 other plant was doing pretty bad and one more wasn’t as stunted if growth as the last two, but brown rot on some of the branches too.
List of symptoms:
-Stunted growth, the worse one is very obvious
-Brown color on stocks/at the nodes of branches and even up the branch a inch or so
-The base of the stock on the already deceased one was very rotten and the outermost layer of “skin” peeled right off.
-branches on the worst plant have almost broken off and needed assistance from tape(could that have started this all?) The bottom 6 branches are barely hanging on and require support. And the first symptom I would say I noticed was the plants needed extra support from falling over. It was windy a few days but they just didn’t seem to have the sturdy roots they should have at their stage(which is when I first suspected sabotage)
-there are streaks or rips from the base of some of the branches coming off of the main stock, from not using scissors when removing fan leaves or even tearing a branch off(sabotage?)
the rips are now brown in color
-I attempted to scrape some of the brown “fungus mass” off and it actually seemed to help a bit or at least didn’t come back right away.
My questions:
-is the plant in the pictures a goner? Should I pull it and get another plant in it’s spot before it’s too late, even if it is treatable, the time it would take to recover would almost make it not worth the effort and would be better off devoting that time and energy to another healthy plant.
-are all my plants with these symptoms goners? Will they just get worse? Is there any treatment I can use? Fungicide? Cutting off infected branches? The other plant or two are alright in size. Did it spread to them or just the same circumstances because they are all the same strain. And are the plants in the old soil from the first pulled plant in danger?
-and lastly what caused this? Root rot in the clones we bought maybe That I and the store I bought them from all missed? Or could it have been sabotage? Deliberate over watering or deliberate ripping off of branches, or even another way I am unaware of? Could it been from tying rope to it to help support it? The rope was never too tight but I can’t say it was brand new rope more like left over from last year.
Bonus question about cloning:
-I do have some clones of my own, first time attempting cloning, and some of them had some rot at the very bottom but still rooted, a few died off soon after from rot, and I’m wondering if there’s even the smallest amount of rot does that mean I should toss it? Will the rot always spread?
Long, drama filled, pretty pointless to the well being of my plants story....for anyone who is interested or just bored ha:
(once more this is not important or relevant to my plants illness, just an explanation of why sabotage could be the culprit.)
Could be coincidental, but of course after an argument with my partners “biological sperm donor” (also known as narcissistic, neglectful father that didn’t raise either of his children), he waters the plants the next two mornings. The two days following, lets be clear, the fight which concluded with how he is now going to be watering his own plants and us our own to avoid being his scape goat for why his plants aren’t doing well and to avoid being his excuse to yell at and blame for his unhappiness whenever he damn pleased. So after the first day of watering, one of our magic melon clones was completely wilted and obviously unrecoverable, at least I thought so. So we didn’t pull it until the 2nd day, at which we found that he had watered our plants again, after I had put little signs on his cages to help him identify which plants were his, which he then thought it was necessary to tear off and crumble the papers and toss them on the ground.. but the plant obviously didn’t recover within that day or two and we pulled it. Used the soil to plant 3 smaller 65 gal pots and planted our last 3 plants in them, which after having had planted 2 we realized the soil could be bad and could cause them to have the same issue. So I’m not sure what caused this or what it is, not many pictures of stock rot online that I found looked similar and nothing written about the tearing/ripping of fan leaves/branches. And let’s face it, if the suspect accused is capable of stealing a whole plant last year because he “felt entitled to it” and whose capable of putting his hands on his sons gf, while his gfs daughter is witnessing and pushing him and yelling at him to let go, and while his son is in the bathroom taking a crap, who didn’t even let go when that gf hit I’m in the head with a lit cigarette, whom didn’t let go until he saw his son come running around the corner, with his pants around his ankles and his d*** out after having had Been in the middle of taking a crap, which he then ran like a little b****. Anyways I’m still a little sour on the subject if you can tell or not.
