Big plants dying suddenly

[mapinguari]

I'm sorry to see your beautiful plants die.

My first thought, as with others, was gophers. Root rot seems unlikely when you've got such a quick transition from very good health to dead.

I hope you find the problem so it doesn't hang over you in the future.

In my first post, what I was getting at is if all your plants just are all of a sudden dying off...

I would suspect that they were poisoned...
Hence my questions...
Is this location secure? Piss anyone off?

Its suspicious to me that they would all of a sudden die, when were obviously super healthy, and in a matter of a day die?

Is it just one strain thats doing this . Are the plants from clones . I had a few 20 year old clone only strains do this same thing at the onset of flowering. . Could be genetic drift . If they are from seed its a head scratcher . When i read the title i though gophers or rats . Good luck

Could this be fulsarium wilt?

Got something similar on my angels trumpet tree. The ants burrowed just below the bark and stripped it from the stalks. That pic where you sow the main stem split looks just like some of the diseased branches I pulled off my angels trumpet.

Looks like some sort of fungal thing to me.

Im no expert by any means but too me it looks like overwatering

Like a previous post, look for rodent damage. They climb into the plant and chew rings. That will kill branches, if they ring the base then the whole plant will go down.

Days are getting shorter and the hot part of the day is very short now. Humidity is up in the early morning,

Don't want water standing near the stalks. I moved my drippers out to no closer than 3 feet a couple weeks ago. Dripping only 2 gallons of water, 3 times a day now.

I lost one plant this year from a dripper that ended up next to the stalk. Don't know if I tripped over it or the rodent catchers did.

What was the ph of your tea? How do you brew? If you had a bad batch that would quickly end healthy plants. I stopped using ewc. Been finding too many bugs from brewing. Ra, springtails, and a unidentified soil mite. E coli is a possible threat also. A few friends who use different brand ewc have also had similar problems. We just brew our microbes for a few hours now to make sure they are up and ready for work with no ewc.

yea, mycostop is your friend, and making sure not to over/under water.

I lost a ecsd and a seed plant like that couple years ago, just out of no where. IMo it was root disease

 

[Bud Green]

Many years ago, i had a guerrilla spot get flooded about 4 inches deep, which lasted 5 days before it drained away...

On the 2nd day underwater, my plants looked exactly like the OP's 2nd picture, and then they died before the water drained away.

I sure can't say for sure, but is it possible you have great soil, but in hard holes which keep your water trapped, like in a bowl?

looks like phylloxera...
yikes!

get some bayer asap... it has imid

 

[turbo14]

This is not phylloxera.

have you ever dealt with phylloxera? That is also known as root aphids. You would have more symptoms than just dying. Lower leaves yellowing, slowed growth, lower shoots dying off.

Looks and sounds like sabotage.........we have a fella we know who went in over his head this year, big property out in nowhere, 99 1000g smarties, largest Forever Flowering auto dep greenhouse, had tons of earth moving done........planted 99 outside and had 43 healthy as hell ladies die on him in a 48 hour period, looked just like your plants both alive and dead...........told himmget soil tested and go from their, and he is, but after also talking further he is blaming dirt guy and main contractor that did work, but thing is, he still owes them both large amounts of money and they know his location..........hmmmmm, logic and common sense tell me he has got problems not related to plant or soil, but a debt that is being handled. Just my$ .02

 

[Finklsteinshtkd]

Sounds shitty as hell. He probably needs a harvest to pay them what he owes. It seems like the contractor would be better off rippin' the harvest though than sabotage. Not that either of those things are legit answers. I hate ripper scumbags but if i was a contractor and not a grower then thats what id do for sure.

Looks like a classic case of fusarium. Especially the half dead plant and your watering ... Ramped up a week ago due to the heat etc, feeds right into fusarium. They can look perfect and be dead in 24hrs.

Looks like a classic case of fusarium.

Bingo. Send a sample to lab and make sure but I'd say you are correct.
