Any thoughts Limp Branch ..

The hens have been in flower for the last 2 weeks or so, open the pen tonight and found 1 branch on 1 bush looks like it has not had water all the rest are fine on the plant .. All the other chooks in the room are fine ... Thinking maybe gnats ,but i have been pretty strict on that ... Have cut the branch off .... Any ideas ??
Have been using H&G nutes at ec1.4 to 1.6 and silica and cal each water during flower and veg ,seems strange 1 branch goes limp !

Did you LST that branch? That’s the only thing I can think of that could cause just one branch to be affected.

No mate ,only when they were young I did LST ,other then this event everything has been fine .. I'll just keep a watch on it all ..Cheers

That is very odd indeed. I think you were right to think it was pests. The only pest I can find that does similar damage are caterpillar or similar bastards that eat into the stem. It’s good that only one branch was affected, but preventive caterpillar treatment might be worth looking into, and maybe preventative root treatments as it could have infected the root structure associated with that particular branch, may it rest In Peace. Godspeed man!
