I have a few clones late in flower and one of them wansn't looking too good for the last few days. Today, what few flowers it had were brown and dead, and it's whole stem was very soft and dead feeling. As there was only the one pathteically small cola on it, I decded to yank it out before whatever (if anything) it had spread. It was very stunted and almost completely shaded out by the rest of the plants. The leaves were very tiny and yellowish, no spots or anything.

Should I be worried about the rest? The roots look fine, or at least normal compared to past grows. All the others are 100% normal and healthy looking. Anything I should be doing??

If the plant has always been a slacker i would not concern myself but if it suddenly took a turn for the worse lets rethink...

Cab,

Did all these plant share the same host res or DWC bucket/trough?

Was it the wimp? Was it light blocked by other more dominate plants?

This has happened to me toward the end of a grow because, IMHO, my weaker plants have not had a sufficient amount of time to grow (plant structure) to support your higher bloom nutes toward the end. For me this was due to some plants being significantly behind the others in their group.

Was this plant a runt, playing catch up? Because of it's weakened state, did it finish early?

You expect me to read the OP first? Must have missed that. Ummm, I guess I'm useless. Sorry.

Thanks everyone! It's been two days since I hacked her down and pulled the pot, and all seems ok. The res is stable (ppm/pH), and eveyone still looks happy.

To answer a few questions that were posed- They were all in the same reservoir, it was always a slacker (about the size of one of the larger plant's branches), and it go no light compared to the rest. Root mass was for crap, but they looked fine.

Really just freaked out because I've never had one just up and die like that. I was having nightmares of it somehow infecting and killing the others. Feel much better after seeing the replies, thanks again everyone.
