premature bud dieing

[lochraven]

i have 3 different kinds of plants outside. the earliest harvest if a mystery strain and is currently curing.. didnt get very much from that plant due to spider mites... i have 2 critical mass plants that have been covered top to bottom in pop corn sized buds. the buds on these plants seem to be dieing ... the plant doesnt seem dehydrated or anyhting but the leaves around the buds and the pistils seem to be shrivling up and dieing! i would really like to save this harvest and would at least like to know what has happened so i can prevent it next time... i can post pictures if it is asked of me.

post a picture and more information

you feeding your plants at all?
how old and big are the plants?

are these plants getting enough direct sunlight or are in the shade?

can you easily pull out the leaves which are shriveling up?

are the buds soft inside? any weird orange mass inside of the buds?

then it could be mold.

 

[lochraven]

im pretty sure it isnt mold the pieces of bud are tiny....
im feeding the plants pure blend organic... + super thrive. both are at very low doses.


this picture is of 4 plants 2 in the front are the critical mass that looks like the buds are dieing.
the plant in the back right has been harvested and had two buds killed by spidermites. the plant in the back left is from holland and is almost ready to be harvested
-----------------------



these are the critical mass.
it is hard to see in these pictures but the pistils really look like they are drying up and dieing. there are some pistils that are black while the others are very young.

these next two pictures is from the mystery plant in the back right of the first picture

Is there any males or hermi's in the area? maybe it got pollenated?

 

[lochraven]

ahhh scuba i think you got it! there is a male plant in the woods. i cant find it. i know it is there though i thought it would of maybe died. but it is kind of far away. so is it going to seed out you think? if it really got pollenated.

 

[MynameStitch]

thats normal, pistils commonly die in flowering like that, nothing to worry about your buds are to small to get bud rot at least the few pics with the small buds not the middle pic

im afraid the end is nearing for my young ladies.

the bud is dieing and the leaves arre wrinkling up. these are critical mass plants.
i think that means they are bigbudxskunkxafgan. well here are some pictures... i would realy like to figure out why this happened









here is a picture of one of the same plants where it has not happened yet



these plants are covered from bottom up with popcorn bud that is slowly growing into large amounts i would really like to save some of this any ideas would be very helpful.
i do not have very much experience growing MJ plants and have only havested twice both times resulting in very low yields.

.... sigh i dont know what else to say. i have allready blown 420 bong hits to the full moon. i have allready smoked bowls made from 1000 skulls of virgins. i tried 420 knife hits... nothing seems to help.

I think it has some sort of nutrition problem. 9/10 of nutrition problems are ph related usually. Do you know the ph? Are you adjusting the ph of your water + fertilizer? Did you add dolomite lime to the soil? Ph in soil should be 5.8 to 6.5 How much fertilizer are you using exactly? You said low dose. Is your nutrition complete? Plants require nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum.
