Problem late in flower

Hey all,

In week 9 of flower, running a handful of smaller plants, all but one are doing great. This one seems to be having an issue, at first I thought nute burn so gave it just water for a few feedings, didn't get better. Im pretty sure its got a couple weeks left. Dont wanna harvest early but I don't want whatever it is to wreck the whole plant. Any ideas what it could be and how I can manage it?

This often happens late in flower at the ripening stage. The energy the plant was using to keep itself healthy is now being used for ripening (at least that's how I see it).

What is your humidity like? If I was in your position I would be getting those troubled leaves out of there. Most of the bud rot problems I've had have been caused by necrosis on leaves trapped within buds at times of high humidity.

She looks practically done anyway - I'd be looking to chop her when the pots dry (I grow in soil). You can push the other plants for longer because they're healthy.

Humidity has fluctuated a bit recently with me kicking the heat on and the air drying out, but Ive been able to keep it in a 48-60 range. You think its good to chop? Its been over 2 years since my last grow so not the best at being able to tell, I figured it still had a week or two. Dont wanna ruin the bud tho, its smells and looks great. Appreciate the advice

fox farm trio plus cal-mag, about 900 ppm every other watering, the other 4 plants are showing no signs of issues whatsoever, but its also showing much more ripeness than the others, might be too much for it since its closer to harvest.

That isn't too worrying for humidity. It's when it gets in the 70s and higher that a problem almost becomes gauranteed.

Whenever I have a plant like that I always pull them early these days. All that necrosis in the leaves is an accident waiting to happen. It's very easy for little bits of rot to occur during the curing process even if you pull them without any.

Worst case scenario will be that it's a bit rushy and all high and no stone. Not a problem considering you plenty of other problem free plants you can push a lot further and gain the more stoney effects.

@ op - ph and ppm of medium must be good if you want a good plant. healthy roots - healthy fruits

run off is a decent way to check, there are other methods as well.

1.3 e.c./700 ppm in and out, start to finish imo
