That is a burn caused by in all likelihood by something it took up through its roots. You can see the plant dying from starting the bottom and working its way to the top. If this was from too much heat the whole plant would have shown it at once. You can spend a lot of time trying to figure it out or you can just pitch it all and try again.

I like bx grow mix with a little play sand and some composted manure... work in just a little plant tone ... organic plant fertilizer about 1/2 lbs total for a 5 gallon pot.

Start your seeds then transfer 'em to your pot. Put the
planting mix into your pot for about 1 week before you put in the seedling or cutting... keep it watered too.

Make sure you have positive drainage too.

Send me some bud ... if you have a female.

I agree it went from roots and the last part to die was the growth center at the top Kali Jul 2021 #23
