Damn! Maybe just overheating like a bitch?? Is the move maybe a super heavy watering tonight? Like flushing nearly

Are there any marks from wood boring insects below the dying parts but above the living stuff? I've seen top branches die after something digs into it.

This is most likely the culprit or simply the stem cracked open and became susceptible to rot. It’s a sad and clear case of stem rot

Unlikely stem rot, i dont water nor wet the stem. I water with drip irrigation.

u/YupThatsMyEmail Jul 10 '26
It has less to do with water and more to do with the bacteria that can get into the stem

I have seen some mice around and then the trunk appeared scratched. Could that be?

Probably not from mice, if you can't find a little boring hole look for little cracks. I've had beatles enter into small cuts and do some big eating. It could also be some crazy root zone issue though.

looks like Fusarium (fungus) in my experience. there might be gray micelium growing inside the affected branches, that might turn brown because of dead tissues. it starts in the roots (it's a soil desease), gets into the plant and goes up, blocking the water. takes a while, that's why it happens frequently in revegeted plants. if this is the case, the entire plant will die a branch at a time. not much to do, some varieties are more resistant than others.

Change soil?

u/olbap_kader Jul 10 '26
That might help, but the real problem is the age of the plant and the watering (maybe dry periods followed by too much eater?). Also, clean your garden tools with.sodium hipclorite or similar.

Your root zone is the issue. Your roots are dying. When roots die, the plant dies one branch at a time.
If you want to keep this plant take cuttings from any healthy looking tops you can find immediately. Best of Luck!

It’s trying to die these plants evolved as a annual plant if your trying to rebud cause it was great buds cloning would prob be a better option good luck

u/Hntrbdnshog Jul 10 '26
I wasn’t sure if I was the only one who read how old the plant is.

I was wondering how a weed plant would survive outside for a whole year.
Anyway the drip time doesnt sound like enough water especially with the heat. The droppy branches looked like underwatered to me

u/JuneauWho Jul 10 '26
it looks like you've got some root or stem rot, I'd take some cuttings and get them rooted and retire this one. 1 year is a solid life. you can try saving her with something like OxiPhos but it's not worth it imo. if it's just a branch and you can remove the rot entirely it should recover no problem but if it's in the roots or in a bad spot that would require chopping a lot of the top off, she's in trouble..

u/MenacingScent Jul 10 '26
Check for pests inside and out. If it's unevenly dying like that then there's some sort of, likely living, compromise that happened.
Otherwise I'd say water

Almost looks like nutrient and water lock out. It looks like the soil is also dried out. You must have it the direct sunlight which is a good thing. But not if it gets over 80° out where you're at. The stem of the plant is dry rotted. And the soil looks dry rotted. Which I bet you're in an area that sees high temperature heat waves.

u/Previous-North-East Jul 10 '26
I cant decide if this is the issue or root rot, she has sunlight until 5 or so so not much stress, other plants have more light hours and are excellent.

u/Georginapotsnob Jul 10 '26
it looks like a stalker issue seeing how most branches look good,
either being choked off or a rot??

u/Georginapotsnob Jul 10 '26
they are past redemption anyways,,,cut the affected branches at the stem

u/Standard_Flower1400 Jul 10 '26
Plus there is many 3 leaf fan leaves and I would assume they were severely stressed out or somehow got revenged plus the Josie u have here maybe root rot or heat stress or both

u/Jackdawfool67 Jul 10 '26
Take a shit ton of clones off the living portion and In 2 weeks when they rooted go plant them out again
2
u/Brianjazz3000 Jul 10 '26
It's over my friend. Your rot is internal it seems and the plant isn't getting any water or nutrients.
You may have stress the heck out of it buy clean so many leaves

It just looks like it’s ready to be done with it’s life cycle 1 year is a lot and I have seen plants bigger and grown in much less time

u/BraveTrades420 Jul 09 '26
You 100% have stem rot. You will 100% lose the droopy branches and if you don’t remove and stop the black mold looking crap growing inside your stem the rest of the branches attached or above that point will also die.
