Someone on here had instructions on checking soil pH a couple months ago. Maybe it was a ‘slurry test’?even a cookie sheet under it might catch enough run off to test. I agree with you that the roots look fine so I think your initial gut feeling about pH is probably the correct theory. Is there a lot of peat in your soil? Peat degrades and gets acidic over time.

maybe but I don’t think so. This plant was one of the strongest healthy plants I’ve grown. The leaves are even extra tough on this plant as well as the clones I took off her. Like they have elastic in them I need to use my clippers and not my thumbs to clip them off. She drinks a lot more than my other two outside plants maybe twice as much and always has since she was a pup.
Yes I can get a run off now I will test it today. There is some peat as the organic mix I used for these needed extra. I’ve move on from that mix as it caused thrips in my tent but did not have that problem with it outside. The soil feels really good nothing like I expected
I had a plant do something similar but not as bad this year\
Every grow is an adventure. Growing outside makes it even more so…
No the plant that re vegged early was the one that got some bloom rot. I pulled the rot off but still plan to trash that plant as I don’t trust it even tho the buds are big just haven’t done it yet. It’s on the other side of the yard waiting on trash day.
Lucky trash collectors. They will think you are tossing out a skunk carcas…
That plant is very tempting to keep. it smells really good as the other one dosidos on my porch. I’m glad I had another one.
I have trimmed off bud rot in the past and kept the rest of the plant. Didn’t find any rot in any of the buds after drying and curing. I understand your caution though. You don’t have a lack of known good bud and with your son-in-law’s condition, it is probably the right thing to do.
If only a few buds are showing signs trim them off and leave the good ones
That’s why it hasn’t made the garbage yet. I don’t see anymore rot but the buds are weird looking some tite and some fluffy because of the re vegging thing so I decided not to take any chances.
That’s an idea alcohol would kill everything I think. It’s been on its own for about three weeks with no maintenance. I’ll take a look at it today.
OK Back Did the slurry test in middle of fab/bag after mixing and letting it set 2 hrs it just measured out at 6.5. so it could be my nutes , some are old.
Would be pretty badass if you did what you could to make a perfect environment for assassin bugs, they would pretty much take care of all your problems. That and predatory nematodes will absolutely destroy any gnats, it's their primary food source. You can actually buy predatory nematodes in little viles and to spread them over your plants, they are part of a beneficial microbe community is what they are considered.
