16. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
insects everywhere, I have a lush garden with all sorts of predators/ beneficial insects. havent' noticed too many aphids this year. the plants seem insect free apart from the odd sheltering spider
So, about 6 weeks ago I noticed the larger older leaves going yellow, then blotching then brown and dropping off.
advice from a pal suggested old leaves getting past it and dropping off normally. I water and feed regularly, and don't think I'm over/ under doing either.
recently noticed the lower branches dying entirely. and then saw that some of the stems are rotting where they attach to the main stem...
This used to have a stem attached
all the compost was new, pots washed, 4th year of growing in my garden and no previous problems. plenty of sun on them...
any ideas on this? cheers folks!

Might be rust.
Rust
Fungus
Rusts are plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi of the order Pucciniales. An estimated 168 rust genera and approximately 7000 species, more than half of which belong to the genus Puccinia… Any appearance of rust must be immediately dealt with by removing and burning all affected leaves. Composting, or leaving infected vegetation on the ground will spread the disease.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(fungus)
You will not get rid of this problem for the rest of the growing season the best ideal is to get rid of all your soil mix and sanitize all your tools and pots before starting anew next year.
Might not be rust but its some from of nasty fungus. Its not your fault its just bad luck of where the spores landed.

shit...
well that's a fucker and no mistake!
I'll look into this further, as it's certainly not like the rust that I get on my Alcea rosea. but yeah a good trim and a good clean is in order I guess.
cheers for your input!
