im thinking it happened when i was away and son wasnt watering enough, it was very hot weather, buds gone yelowy to, ive been giving all my plants plenty of water since but fear i was to late for some ;o(

Maybe thats it SB which would perhaps explain why this bud is surviving. What size are the stems are they larger in width than normal?

What a shame Sandra wonder what the problem is, it could be dry conditions, but hope it will survive and come back again next year.Ive been staking mine today 15 buds, only 3 last year so its doing well.
