What type of soil do you use ? Do you perlite or leca in the soil?
what type of water do you use ? And what is the PH in the water?
Did you use any kind of nutrients?
The spiders you have, is they normal spiders ? Or tiny spiders? (Thinking of spider mites) - did you check for other kinds of bugs ?
how big is the pot ? And how many holes do you have in the bottom ?
all this info would help a lot about giving your a diagnosis for the plant.
to my from those pictures without any info - looks like it’s in need of phosphorus. But again hard to know without any info

I feel like we need shortcut keys for typing all that out, since we do it so much

How hot is it there? Looks to me like it could be a combination of heat stress and underwatering. I could be wrong, just a guess without more information.
It’s a normal soil no perlite or anything in it. The soil is fertile its self does not need any nutrients. I have grown before In this soil it does not give me any issue with nutrients. Pot is 5 gallon I guess but it’s doing good with my male plant that is 3 foot tall. This damage plant is about 1 foot tall. Spider is a normal one I managed to clear it and all the webs on the plant it’s free of spiders but the damage has been done. There is no issue with the water it was a smooth growth so far. I have been out of couple of days I think the temperature got to hot around 46C it have stayed like that for 2,3 days I think that effected it

@dphipps feel you on that one. I’m almost used to it lol.
I honestly think it’s a combination- if the ph is not on spot it will be more easy for the plant to develop heat stress as you mentioned. But also deficiencies.
It’s more vulnerable then.
And also if the plants roots can’t breath it also a vulnerability to the plant and more easy to get stress.
And for that it can tackle the heat very well and certainly not deficiency

7 is a little high.
Phosphorus is better taking up by the roots around 6,1-6,3 in ph.
And is looks like it a phosphorus deficiency with a amount of heat stress also.
When the plants is going into flowering they start to get really picky with water, nutrients and so on actually

Okay I am gonna feed it phosphorus for few days and see if something gets better. Thanks.
The pistels on the plant have also turned red idk what that suppose to mean?
But what you think would it recover and go back to budding or I would be just feeding it for nothing?

The plant is probably stunned, because of some issues.
But I also think your soil without Perlite in it, could also be a problem.
What kind of nutrients do you have for the plant ??
The pistils- I don’t have a clear answer for that, sorry.
How old is it ?

The plant is 3.5 months old. It was in flowering stage, buds were forming before it got effected.
I don’t actually use nutrients as my soil already is fully fertile I have grown this far without any nutrient. But for phosphorus I have DAP that is rich In Phosphorus and nitrogen I’ll use that in less quantity first.

Yeah I think the same it’s heat stress and under watering and spider attack. It is hot here I was growing it off season Doing everything to control the temperature And it was going very well but for few days I was not available and my friend didn’t knew what to do.
i also want to know that what should I do next ? Will it recover ? Should I push it back to veg so it grow back it’s leaves and all? Or would it recover it self I just have to keep the temp low and water it frequently and look for spiders not attacking again?

How many weeks in flowering?
It’s normal the hairs around week 4-5 is turning orange. As long it’s keep shooting out new white pistils

Around 3 weeks in flowering but no new pistels emerging.
Can you answer these questions please
How do I get it out of stunned state ?

Spider don’t do damage to the plants in my opinion, they eat all the pests that does damage to your plant.
You will get it out of a stunned grow, when you solved the problems with the plant.
But I say again - I soil without perlite and no oxygen for the roots is bad.
You should only water when the plants need it. It needs dry soil also for the oxygen can reach the roots, the roots live on oxygen.

I would say add a little more water than usual, till the pot is heavy. The hotter it is, the more your plant will drink. If you had a friend watering while you were gone, they probably had no idea what to do. Now that it's hotter though, you will probably have to change your watering from every 3-4 days, down to every 2-3 days, whenever the pot feels light. Like Captain is saying, you may want to add more perlite to your soil as well. The pistils usually start to change after week 4 from what I've noticed, this is completely normal. If you're doing an outdoor grow, there's not a lot you can do for temperature except maybe find something to shade it a little. You want as much sun getting through as possible still so something almost like a thick screen might work. Not really sure how else to help that honestly. Your plant should bounce back pretty quickly if you resolve the issues, maybe a few days. If it gets worse then there's probably something else going on too. If you have something for the roots (like Hydroguard or similar) it should help your plant to be able to handle a little hotter temperature than normal. Hope that helps
Yes I am watering it more times then before also spraying water on the leaves to not let them completely dry. The temperature is the easy part to control I have them in shade water the floor and have a fan and it too gets sunlight so I got that. Other then that the soil I have slightly dig it in order to let air pass through it (traditional way off passing air too roots) it’s quite effective. So basically it is getting my more attention then before. The issue that I have identified is all heat related and temperature related. My friend didn’t knew how to control that and it messed up the plant. Anyways hope so it recovers back soon.
Thank you for you help

Any time, hope she recovers fast
