unidentified problem at 5wks flowering

I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong!
We all have our first assumptions, and like I said, I like to err on the side of not messing with things too much this far into flower.
We've all pretty much said the same thing at this point, sit and wait, there's absolutely nothing he can do right this second. There are many MANY steps to solving a problem, and we all go about them differently.
I think as men, when we get put on the defensive, we tent to stick by our arguments a little bit firmer than neccessary.
We all have the same goal, growing great cannabis. Some of us have done it for a long time and have a lot of knowledge we are damn proud of. What we need to start doing is working TOGETHER to solve problems, I think we'd butt heads less, make a couple more friends, and cause a LOT less confusion!
So, let's all go smoke some stash, my wife has my blunt rolled already. Maybe we can still turn this around and actually be of some help to the guy.

Definitely over watering, definitely nitrogen deficiency. Did you flush with PH adjusted water?
Nice, I like you!
Just like I thought, we could come up with a positive solution, and another member brought it to our attention, I think everyone is on the right track, and we are splitting hairs.
I'd be interested to know the answer as well, that could have locked the roots up causing less of a nutrient uptake...

he said it got worse after he flushed cuz i bet a 1,000 dollars he didnt let his soil dry out and probably never has..he's the overwatering type i guess shit idk
Don't bet your money that fast, you are WRONG.

I do let it dry out, and i don't overwater

I think the problem is that the plant was tilted, and when i moved it, it probably damaged some of the roots

I think the damage happend earlier in the plant's life, because it seems to be progressing, not just dying...

The trichomes are beautiful, They are starting to get that milky white look, which is good

I'm afraid to take the plant out of the container to look at the roots because i don't want to damage them more

I think i will wait another week or so for that, until i harvest, it looks like she can handle it

As long as you've learned something you were more than successful!
Good luck, and let me know if you need any more help!

Ok, more bad advise from someone who thinks he knows what's going on...
How do you KNOW this guys growing techniques, from a few posts and pictures? 420, how much experience do you have?
And again, grow up and show some freaking respect, shut up is innapropriate and rude. I may have a small post count but don't let that fool you, I've been around this site for years, just needed a new SN...

...from what I gather, when you over water your plants...the soil at the bottom of the pot turns to mush...suffocating the roots. Strangled roots can't eat.

...fyi, I've sadly experienced this some time back. I added too much petemoss to my mix, which in trun retained moister too well. Good luck man...I did get a fair yield from the stunted crop as yours, however it dried out really krispy and harsh and underweight . Again, good luck.

I would like to say at some point in this thread I remember reading that you were going to actually pull up the root mass and take a look at it? That's a bad idea. I wouldn't go that far...the damage is fairly significant at this point and I don't think that you even want to see what's in there let alone try to help it, I think you can only hurt it more.

Ride it out, try to let it dry out and in a strange twist of things I might actually consider buying an air pump and an air stone to oxygenate the water that you do use at the next watering. I'm not sure that it would help, but it couldn't hurt and more oxygen will be your friend.

You may elect on your next grow to add more perlite to the mix to help with better drainage, it makes a big difference.

Finally a respectful side of the other end of the spectrum...
I don't think another opinion is bad, when its given in a proper manner.
I've experienced this as well, back in the haydays of using soil, sometimes shit happens! What soil mix are you using?
Again, I just want to reiterate a couple things. Your plants look good, very nice tops for a pinched top. You're supporting the weight of all that cannabis too.
You are way too close to harvest to be able to do anything anyway. I know you know this, but I just want to say it for anyone who checks this out later.
You can adversly affect the chemical reactions forming choice THC right now. We don't smoke the fan leaves, let em die! I would pull her as soon as your comfortable within your window, the sooner the better too, if you like the real heady psychedelic high especially! When you pick you plant affects the chemical reactions forming the THC, and alter the type of stone it gives you, early window will give you a more head high, while late window produces a more narcotic body high (little chemistry lesson for ya ;)

I also wanna agree that an airstone for more O2 in your water helps your roots with the uptake of nutrients, definitely a good idea anyways. And better drainage in your soil mix. You ever thought of using a coco medium? I use the canna coco line these days and won't ever use anything else. There are cheaper coco mediums, hell canna's is only 20 big ones, and you can still use whatever ferts you like. It even works as a great mix in soil too, it adds drainage and water retention at the same time! Great stuff, and its all natural!
