Tips are shriveling. Why?

[HighlandHigh]

Third season grower, so still a novice. Mazar-i-Sharif growing in cloth pots. Second year growing the strain which handles the heat of southern Arizona well. No issues last year, however, this year the tips are shriveling and falling off. What’s causing this?

is there any brown or gray areas where the branches that are dying are?

No brown or gray. To be clear, the branches aren’t dying. Just the tips. They shrivel (as shown in the photo) then fall from the plant still green.

Shriveled cannabis plant tips can indicate several issues, including overwatering, underwatering, environmental stress, nutrient deficiencies, or even fungal infections.
is it just the one plant? or all of them

For sure!

As promised…

In addition to the Mazar-I-Sharif, I am also growing Orissa Gold and Kumaoni, both of which are doing very well. The Mazar plants are in the foreground of the first photo. All have the symptoms. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Definitely something up with this one plant. I'd snip off those, even if they are cola stems. Maybe you get lucky and stop something from taking over the whole plant. Only solution I can think of at this point, as it doesn't seem to be a nute or deficiency or pest issue, just looks like that part of the plant is dying.

Upon further inspection, I found the culprit…

Stomp on that thing. Get some Dr. Death or similar. If you found 1 there probably will be a few more around. Glad you found the culprit!

Oof, better to get those frickers before bud set… good eye

Hey just a quick observation. I bet them black pots get insanely hot in your climate.


May want to shade em or insulate them somehow.
Good eye on finding your culprit dood

I move them under the trees during the hot periods of the day. Surprisingly, the strains tolerate the heat quite well.

This stuff is great for caterpillars, organic and one bite and they are toast. Safe for flower. Downside is you have to reapply it often.

Gotcha and good move. They definitely look healthy. My suggestion was more about the soil temp tho and not leaf temp. If u have one of them digi thermometers check the temp of those puppies for science after they’ve been exposed for a bit. But obviously you know your setup so my two cents is just that.
