I would start with watering her. That soil looks pretty dry from the pics. A nice watering should make them perk right up. As for that black stuff, i think that's a whole different story.

The black stuff is what I'm concerned about.... Any ideas on what it is? How to treat it? How to prevent?

The plant is outside (near the Oregon coast...) and is too big to put inside 
I have some fungicide 3 (fungicide, insecticide and miticide) will this help?? Or should I just try and force it into flowering?

No they are not the same strains, only this plant was grown from a seed I found in some medicine (I think Hindu Shark), the rest are clones of a different strains. But if need be I can move it away from the others.

It's a fungus : stem rot or "Sclerotinia sclerotiorum" it produce millions of airborne spores so it will most likely attack your others plants. You have to apply foliar or systemic fungicide. Check if the fungicide you own is able to treat stem rot if not i would recomend Eagle 20EW

the fungicide, miticide, insecticide you mentioned, is that the Garden Safe brand? if so thats 99% neem oil if i remeber correctly. I've used it for applications like this before and its worked great. I'd add it to the next watering of the plant (use as soil drentch, not sure how your watering with it being outside on the coast). In addition i'd add some to a sprayer and spray the affected area with it as well. I do believe there are instructions on the bottle for both applications.
