What is wrong with this leaf?? (Pic)

Just out of the last day or two this main fan leaf turned brown on the fingers and looks like more than just a dieing off leaf. Is it some sort of rot or mold or normal?? Week 9 flowering. The bud right by where this came off looked green and healthy and I pulled on it and squeezed it a bit because rotted bud is suppose to fall apart but the bud was strong and like super glue..

Is there a deep fryer or wok somewhere nearby where that leaf was growing? Looks like a normal hot oil dipped leaf to me. From direction of leaf curl it is clear you are in the Southern Hemisphere.

Seriously, post a pic of your plant. One dead leaf is not going to get you great info, and being week 9 it probably is what it is at this point, if it is something. :bigjoint:

The first pic is the one the leaf came off of. I cut the top off of it because it popped a nanner. Also note that the ripped looking leafs are from me checking for bugs and watering, ect and some of the leafs are kinda brittle and some cracked then I'd pull off the broken part. And the last one in the pics is kind of a freak.. Don't really know what to think of it. It has massive buds, top cola is like the size of a softball and hardly grows any leaf at all but it's like week 3 growth like it has basically no density yet. Starting to smell and get sticky but seems to have a real low amount of calyxes and tons of hairs. Don't really know if this is good or bad

That was the first leaf I found that looked that nasty though. It was almost black with boil like looking growths

There are pics and info from a Thread he created 4 weeks ago here.

Doesn't look like you got any good help on that thread 4 weeks ago.
Without even finding out anything more about your grow or your watering habits and just by reading your post and looking at your pics someone tells you to flush :sad:
In your spot flushing was probably a bad idea, it may have been what made matters worse.

What would make you think that that made matters worse? I'm not disagreeing with you, just curious, trying to gain as much knowledge as possible. The growth has seemed to have really slowed down on most of them. A couple seem like they havn't done much of anything for a couple weeks but yet they arent dead either.

Also back then before that flush I was watering them all at the same time which now I know is wrong. Now I'm watering when each when the pot gets light. Some are drinking extremely slow, taking probably a good week, maybe a day or two more than that, between waterings.

I'm watering about a quarter to third gallon of water with light nutes to no nutes at all (depending on the plant).
The majority are getting just 2 mils of AN Overdrive and 3 mils of Growth Science Rock solid. Only 2 have gotten any of my base bloom nute(botanicare) because they were yellowing, the others are still fairly dark green so I havn't been giving a base to those(this feed/watering ruitene is since the flush, before the flush I was pumping a lot of nutes into them). Ppms for the feeds without base are around 100, idk which scale, my ppm reader does't say. Ppm for my bigger hungry plant I've gotten up to 300 which stopped the yellowing but isn't turning the leafs green again yet either.

I guess my main concern here is for some type of mold, maybe root rot.. Idk. It worries me that they seem to be growing so slowly and how some have seemed to stop growing but are not dead. Maybe flushing with my tap water was what did it. It has a very high ppm(389)

Hope that can shed some light on if I have anything to be worried about:confused:

Anyone see's this as wrong correct me.
I used the word probably because there was not enough information to determine if you should flush.
If you were watering properly but excessively over fertilized then I believe there are times like that to flush.
If you were over watering the #1 problem most growers have, then the plants were not able to get enough oxygen during the dry spell. Hitting a plant with water when it has not had any dry period is torture for the plant.
Tap water may have hurt also, I don't know what affect tap may have had.
IDK your next move. The others need the link I gave to look at what was going on 4 weeks ago.
You will get to harvest. It will take longer than normal and the buds you harvest will not have all of the flavors and may never fully finish, but if you get decent buds you will have a lot to look forward to next grow with what you will learn this grow.

You've been overfeeding on this grow. Try growing one on water only sometime so you can really see what a plant looks like when it needs to be fed.

Here's some dried buds from the few plants I've taken down so far. These were a little bit stronger plants that wernt effected as bad by the over feeding. Hopefully my others can finish out. The original pics was about half the plants I have. As far as what I've picked so far the high is awesome, almost unbelievable. Smoked a bowl this morning of one that i took down and it's been over 3 hours now and my high is finally about wore off so I'm pretty happy with it. Hopefully the rest can finish out too. I'll be doing a grow journal on here for my next run and I'm feeling confident that it will go much more smooth than this one did/is

Yep. I had one plant put off about 10 seeds and a couple others that had a couple seeds. Most of them didn't have any seeds. Had some nanners pop early on with one plant. That one was pulled, as for the rest of it, pretty good stuff bongsmilie
