This Plant is DEAD!

As you may recall this plant was the subject of my last post. Guess what? Those buds are never gonna get stickier than they are right now cause this plant is dead! I was checking to see if just giving it water was helping by giving the top cola a squeeze. Not particularly sticky, but it made a crunching noise. I'm gonna guess that that buds not gonna get any stickier! It's dying from the top down. The lower buds are getting sticky, and they are still moist to the touch. Time to cut her down and get on with my new grow. First pic is top, lower bud in second.

What humidity and do you have good airflow?

Open the big buds by hand and look closely for a white spider Web nest type fungus... I suspect Mucor.

Same thing happened to me, lost my dozen big buds on each plant to it but saved the smaller lower down buds...first Sign was a browning/reddening of the sugar leaves, long before any mould was visible on opening the buds and inspecting.
 
Hopefully your experience with this grow helps improve your outcome on the next. Got a plan for the next grow or strains picked out? You want to learn how to grow healthy photoperiods? Do you have seeds or do you buy clones?
 
I have an auto I thought was done two weeks ago and went to just water. But it kept sucking it up at a 1/2 gallon a day. So I went back to nutes. Looks like this time it is done as it really has slowed down the last two days for watering.

About a week past it's advertised growth time.
 
Well, I did learn a lot this round. Hopefully some of it will help the next grow, but I don't think you'll be so happy with it as I'm using the same old dirty dirt. I really couldn't do it the way I wanted to right now, so I'll have to tough out another round. The one thing I'm regretting is that I didn't get a chance to box all the dirt, so I have different mixtures in different pots. Makes watering a little crazy as they all have different soak times. I added a couple 50-watt full spectrum panels. That improved my lighting by 6,500 LUX so that's something. As far as photos are concerned... not this round, going with autos. 2X Auto Lemon Haze, 1X Gelado Auto and of course my Magnum Automatic.

Was going to go with photos this grow but decided I had better build up my larders first so that i will have something to get me through should the photos become time intensive.
 
Mine is at 16 weeks. i was looking to day for nanners and found a dead bud. Though I was getting the mold but it had apparently broke off somehow and just dried out. Kind of harsh but had a good buzzzzzz
 
Here is my first ever photoperiod. @SoOrbudgal​ An African strain I picked up as a freebie from MSNL.She is just starting week 10. Probably otta do some farmin' on that plant. It seems happy though, it has been getting special attention in the isolation booth. It's my only photo so it has its own space. About 1'X1'.

Well, I have a small fan, but never have used it. The humidity is just what is in the house, but we keep it between 30 to 50% as I have COPD and need to breathe. I didn't find anything in the buds but bud.
 
Since I've always grown autos, I've never learned how to clone. Hopefully when I get goin' on some photos, I will have the chance to experiment.
 
OverMedicated you need to use the small fan you have to blow air at your buds. Without airflow the humidity in the buds will be much much higher and it helps to even out the environment in your grow room/tent. It also makes for a stronger and more resilient plant.....airflow is a must!
 
Maybe don't point the fan directly at the buds though. I generally try and bounce the air off a wall first. Depending on how close and how strong the fan is, you can cause windburn.
 
OK, I got the fan on. It's blowin' across hitting the wall and bouncing back over the plants. Y'all gotta realize, I only have the one plant now (the African photo) and I have three new seedlings and an expectant pot so there aren't many buds to blow around.

I blow across the tops of the bud to produce movement in the bud and its cooling the bottom of the lights (the LEDS) also....it's a must do to have a reasonable breeze.
I'm using a 30cm pedestal that I oscillate on the lowest setting atm...it has to blow across the top of 7 plants in 12 gal pots, so about 10 feet...works great.
I'm using a 490W wall air-conditioner and a 1200W bar heater to control temps. The room is well insulated but not sealed so get a little bit of air change over there and when I open the door....the AC has a tiny vent for fresh air if I'm away.

You keep saying "Lux" and "full Spectrum" and "led" so I'm going to send you down a rabbit hole.

If you're using a lux meter on your phone with led lights then you are not getting a correct idea on "Quality" of light or usable light and could be doing your plants harm. Lux measures intensity and is used mainly in HID grows indoors were you manually switch out a blue(mH) to a red(hps) bulbs for flower 27k lux to 70k lux. A PAR meter is used under led grow lights, Photosyntheticlly Active Radiation or a PAR meter measures the quality of usable light, Daily light Integral or DLI takes it a step farther with the maximum amount of usable light over a area in a 24hr cycle a plant can handle after that it's unused and wasted energy( light saturation point) or light burn.

Typically at 18/6 a vegging plant is kept at 350 ppfd (photosyntheic photon flex density) uMol/2m/s (mircomoles per sq meter per second) with a gradual increase to 750 ppfd uMol/m2/s mid to late flower. With a quick lux to par conversion on Google, 65k lux × 0.017 your rough par reading is 1105, almost twice the usable quality light not factoring in DLI.

I don't feel and by no means recommending that converting lux to par is a very accurate way to grow but if you should go with it then targeting 40k on the top end using a LUX meter to convert lux to par for flowering.
 
Yes the trics are cloudy with a few ambers. About two weeks ago it started to brown up and get less odorous. I turned the lights off yesterday and it's going into three days of darkness now.
