Default Re: Orinoco - What's going on?

I also believe it is something involved with the roots being disturbed. The plant could also have been root bound, causing it to starve for nutrients, to support the newest growth. I've noticed one or two leaves on an established plant wilt , then die, just from digging next to it. I've even caused a plant to choke, by removing a pup from it , just prior to flowering! For this reason , I wont remove pups, or dig around an established mat until a plant has produced it's fruit. Then ,I'll only remove a pup from next to the plant that fruited, so as not to disturb any other plants that are yet to fruit.
