wtf is going on here

Ok fellow growers, Help needed long time grower first time trully growing outdoors.
Indica Plants are in first stage of flower in the ground. Soil used is a mix of garden soil and fox farms OF.
This plant I gave fox farm nutes for the veg cycle switched over on Aug 20th started with open sesame and then beasty bud, stuck now plant dying!!! All brown and dying at the bottom. Flowers are big but stalling not growing and now dying top of plant seems healthy but older buds are dying rapidly,
OK at one point in time I was feeding fish emulsions 5-1-1 and FF first line of veg nutes. I did give it a one time shot of Humboldt county frost( Pure potassium) I think I fucked up this was a 4 foot plant in a 30 gallon hole outdoors .
Help please???!!!

Hey fandango there's no sign of spider mites or worms. There's these little black bugs coming out of them when I squeeze the damaged buds . sum of my other plants have the hairs turning red

I think its an issue with the strain not nute burn. Short dying hairs with little to no resin production will give you light harvest that wont be very strong. Let them grow, ive seen this before (similar) when the weather cools the buds start producing long white hairs with resin, hopefully. Feed only flowering nutes now.

It could be mate, ive had this happen, moved them away from the light and long white hairs appear in the final 2 weeks of flowering.. The strain has an issue to be this sensitive if thats what is wrong. Can you move them to a shadier area for a week to see if that helps with the stress?
 
Nope they are in the ground. I have multiple different strains and there are slightly doing the same thing could this be from over watering I'm adding sum photos that are of found different plants spaced out in my yard today it will be around106° IN THE VALLEY but 2 weeks ago it was 80° right after a spell of a week in the 100's I water really heavy and my soil is pretty thick not draining well

Wait like Buds said.The heat stress is incredible. Kush strains come from very cool climates originally. Your temp is high even for sativas to want to grow and fill out.

Russet mites for sure. Take care of that asap. I had the same problem go to Google images and type in cannabis russet mite damage pronto. Tell me if that's the issue. Do it now cause they are no joke

Dang I feel bad for you man. I had a garden of 40 and 15 of them were severely infested with russet mites. Had to chop 60% of the plant and use diatomaceous earth because it's organic and already budding. Best of luck to you
 
Yup @StrictlyClassified that looks about right. What's my next move spray tonight?? What is the best spray? Or what do you recommend?? Wow russet mites they are really taking over but I have sum time to recover if I can attack now.

I use diatomaceous earth. It physically kills them and its a powder. How long do you have until harvest? But it takes about a week for the plants to recover from it. It's really cheap though. Russet mites are extremely tough to get rid of. If I were you if it's only on a few branches I would chopoff all the infected branches down at the main stalk. They reprodu e like crazy and could kill a whole crop
 
But my buds will be covered in DE that's not cool. I'm trying to avoid that. Neem or something like that won't work?? I won't be harvesting till mid Oct. were just 13 days away till the equinox and I flowered early to see sum bigger results. So I see what I would have got. Big mess

I know but you can rinse it off with azamax later. Neem oil wont kill russet mites so wont azamax. You can nuke them butthats a milliontimes worse than diatomaceous earth. Its up to you but neem and azamax arent goingto work. Russet mites are the worse. A good idea is like i said cit off the branches at the main stalk. I know its tough but since preventative measures werent taken youre gonna have to do something drastic
