Root rot victims: keep or cull

[YYCannabis]

Here’s some updates pics as it has been a few days. Tried to get better closeup with the micro, but these eyes ain’t what they used to be. 🤣

Flush or wait?

[Mr.furley]

Good clear first picture, it says Flush me.
Is it a tippy top bud? If so the top will ripen before the buds middle and bottom so look there as well.

Ya. About 2” down from the cola tip. Secondary colas are a lot fewer ambers. But I’m ok with something not heavy on couch-lock levels. She’s been an ugly duckling her whole life, I’m not expecting her quality %/g will be very potent. But that’s ok with me because she’s “Runty” and she will be the first harvest for me 😁 and no matter how good or bad she smokes she will always have a special jar on my shelf.
Too late tonight to do it. I’ll start the flush tomorrow night. Which would mean I’d have to harvest Sunday night or Monday night. Does the extra 24 hours do it any harm?

[Mr.furley]

Nope, flush and cut at your convenience.
Congratulations YYCannabis any weed you grow yourself is good weed.

She has a proud, petite defiance about her... Lovely buds.

Runty root autopsy showed what was really happening to her. Looks like she had some root rot that never got too smelly or slimy. You can see in the pic below that there is a root that turned black and rotted all the up into the main root in the basket.



And there was a small amount of goo on her roots.



Those icky roots were deep in the mass. On further inspection, I noticed her roots didn’t have tiny root tendrils sticking out the sides (of each long root) like my other plants have.

So now, if you can isolate the cause... you’re golden. Think back a few months...ha, I can’t remember yesterday’s dinner

She was sickly from the start. Last to pop her head up. Last to get roots outside the basket. Never drank or ate as well as her 3 sisters did.
But what ultimately lead to her rapid maturing and death was trying to use enzymes to treat root rot.

I had a White Widow that was a runt and really scrawny and even as a last resort in super soil, fed it some nutes with nitrogen since it was clearly showing nitrogen deficiency. After several weeks of slow growth...but growth nonetheless, it turned out to be a MALE !
