Summer is going well, bud sites are present smell and frost growing each day. One issue popped up and another potential issue . First , on one plant only ... It appears as if all initial bud sites turned red and curled back. 36 plants total and only one grew in this manner . First pic is normal , second obviously is the bummer plant ..

Only see one picture, is that the good one or bad one... Sometimes hairs die back prematurely due to a small cold snap... did you have one? Give me more info, i may have more ideas

1 out of 36 is great, we always expect something as loss... this year we did not expect a pack rat eating three 5 ft tall plants :comfort:

For the pistils..... Typical only one plant of the bunch would react to humidity ? About ten plants that same strain

Thanks for quick responses , it does seem as tho a lot of the sites on that plant are growing new strong white pistils , but I'm still puzzled . No cold yet. I did add a nutrient spike ten days ago, I spray low concentrations of essential oils 2 times a week. I was thinking maybe I unconsciously was standing real close when spraying that plant last? Maybe the intensity of the sprayer could have caused a little damage ? I've never done or seen that happen before in my ten years ,but trying to think of variables ...

No branches or leaf showing discolor or mutated growth from excessive nutrients ...

But I do suppose it's more of an anomaly if it's only one so far

And , any ideas on the shots sap dripping from one plant ? Or culturing on the plant ?

That was my point, is that an anomaly is acceptable as out of ones control.

looking at your variables, nutrition burn can also cause pistil death, but i perceive that as hard to do as I havent done it to myself yet
 
Not wanting to scare ya or nothing ... but you MAY consider that if the sludging MAY be a disease that limiting it to one plant, rather than allowing spread would be a smart statistical move, planning a loss of less than 3% by removing it, as opposed to ??? if it spreads?

Just a thought... But i dont know what the sludge is

Ya I thought nutrient burn, but I did the same set of spikes to all 36. No other reactions , but maybe as I dug my little tunnel for my spike I severed a main root? And then packed the wound with a pound of 10-12-3 of guano ( a little hand gardners shovel, 3 scoops of that size into a 65 gal. Didn't think that was too aggressive at all, half of the pot is completely buffer zone with very little fertilizer in it so roots have " breathing room"

The sludge plant and the plant with receding pistols are separate plants , in case I didn't make that clear . And the plant with sludge is 100% visually healthy , perky . No color loss or vigor loss , as far as appearance goes , but it does worry me . It appears to be sweet because bees are swarming it , maybe the stem severed ?

I have a few soil test kits laying around , I'm gonna take 2 cup samples of each plant in question and send it into Michigan state university , results take 10 days or so I think but maybe it'll give some insight to the pistil burn . And see where my CEC is at this far into summer

As far as the stalactite, kinda looks like salt . Is there any possible way with extreme humidity ( like in Michigan ) that the salt from soil/ compost would leach and run ? Like a salt candle does inside on humid days ? Random thought ..

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

The pistils almost look like a reaction to foliage sprays...I'd dial back any essential oil sprays, although if you've been doing the same thing for ten years and this is a first, then maybe try to focus on undersides of leaves...

Never ever seen sap like that in my entire grow experience. You could test the same plant by cutting a fresh wound into a branch and see the reaction. But hey if its healthy then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The pistil situation if it were entire plants or garden would worry me.

Keep an eye out and maybe dial back the oil sprays.

Plants look great. Let us know what you find through observation.
