Royalty Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Had a look at my plants today and unfortunately one of them especially has some stems looking pretty bloody crook...any ideas what it may be..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy420 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like she needs a drink, on very hot days they can do that if a lil dry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnycoaststoner Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 definitely,soil looks rather dry on top so probably dry down pretty low, black pots get pretty hot too when exposed to full sunlight. but water em up they should b ok.

Royalty Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 thanks guys...I was thinking I over watered them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Strange that the leaves on only one branch are affected... I would have expected more generalised wilting if it was weather related. I'd be checking for damage to the branch, below the point where the leaves are wilted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merl1n Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Nah, that ain't an overwatering effect. If it was overwatering the whole plant would be affected the same way, not just a single stem To me it looks like that stem has been damaged, possibly the phloem (primary feeding route) has been damaged and the nutrient and fluids can't get through. A bit like ringbarking a tree. I'd be checking the stem below that wilting. Merl1n Edited January 10, 2015 by merl1n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_headroom Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I agree I don't see how over/under watering would affect one branch...more likely physical damage from insect or possibly broken/split a the base..just my best guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnycoaststoner Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 he said affected stems on 1 plant not one stem. look a bit closer at the plant behind and it does appear to b slightly wilted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_headroom Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 he said affected stems on 1 plant not one stem. look a bit closer at the plant behind and it does appear to b slightly wilted.I stand corrected he did say stems, I assumed he was referring to the single stem that had wilted. Still, it seems odd to me that one stem would wilt dramatically more than another unless it had previous damage...I will defer to those with more knowledge than I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnycoaststoner Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 when are you watering your plants dude? the best time to water plants is in the early morning or the late afternoon.watering in the early morning lets it penetrate deep down through the plant and gives it a kick on before the heat of the day sets in.you shouldn't water thru the middle of the day, when it is really hot it can cause burning especially if you water straight over the top of your plantsif you water at night you can cause fungal problems because the excess water cant evaporate away.
