I think I might have a plant with an infection?

This is Sweet Amnesia Haze from seed.

A few days ago when I was moving stuff around I partially snapped a branch right at a fork, I immediately pinched it together and put duct tape on it, no biggie its happened before and it'll happen again right?

That day the branch that had broken was wilting, I expected that, no concerns. The next day the whole plant looked off, I thought it could have been heat stress from gavitas so I watered it a bit extra. One day later and she looks like this. Has completely stopped drinking and growing, just sitting there looking like shit.

I've removed it from the others but I think I'm gonna trash it. Big bummer because this is one I wanted to flower now, but its been replaced in the flower tent with BB#3, fair trade :-)

yeah i would trash it. take it out and inspect the root ball though. looks like some serious root rot or some bad bugs in the soil or something. could be plant disease though. out of curiosity what kind of soil are you using? do you let them sit in the water that runs off into the drip trays? this will suffocate plants. overwatering can cause that look of the plant as well, but that is technically a root issue so i would suspect a similar look! :) i had a plant do that to me a long long time ago. i was too inexperienced to know to investigate the roots though. just moved on to the next! do some research and you will get to the bottom of it.

Looks like over watering to me.

When a plant is injured it stops most of its growth until the injury is repaired. Try letting it dry out.

with a significant injury like that, i'd immediately move it to a low stress environment like fluorescents and be careful not not overwater which wld lead to root rot. I'd expect the plant to look like shit for weeks before making a turn around.

Haven't trashed it yet, merely isolated it to a lower light level area. I'm using my own soil mix, peat based with compost and EWC for this plant.

I don't normally let the water sit like that, I just happened to snap a pic at that moment, lol.

If/when I cull it I'll dissect the rootball.

She's been removed to a low light area and is being left alone to see what happens.

We'll see what happens. I think the break stressed it way more than I expected, then the following misdiagnosis by me of underwatering and the resultant overwatering finished the deal.

I'll leave it to dry out and hope to see improvement. If not, to the chopping block!




Thanks for the responses everyone!

Humbling reminders that I'm still an amateur :-)

Looks like a classic case of broken plant syndrome, it happens.

Personally I couldn't bear to see her like that every day, I'd've given her the mercy chop by meow.

... Happens to the best of us, supports on big floppy flimsy plants are important.

Exactly. Shnizzy things happen to the best of us. But then you end up with fun things like Godzillclone.

This is the Fireballs after a day of having legs spread.
The phone camera doesn't really capture it, but quite happy with it.

Just looking for a bit of insight from the more experienced and growers of multiple strains.

Have you ever had a plant that prefered more phosphorus during veg or seemed extra sensitive to nitrogen?

Right now I have 5 strains going and yes to the nitrogen. C99 in veg didn't tolerate N very well, she rams horned
If I fed three times in a row. I'd feed then 2 waterings and feed. The White Indicas on the other hand can't get
enough N. Now in flower the C99 is eating like a pig. The BMS is a lot like the C99, just water in veg and feed
like crazy in flower. I think it's a big difference between Sativa and Indica at least IMHO.

In my exp a well rounded soil will keep most strains happy, as I guess they tend to take what they need (not root bound and no bottled nutes needed) but that's not to say some strains don't prefer a different diet than others.

... I know, real helpful, I tried lol.
