What is wrong with my White Widow?

It has gotten the same dirt, water, nutrients/fertilizers, and sun light as all the others. The other WW I had just flat out died about 2 weeks ago. This ones stock turned purple and the leaves turn yellow then brown…Two of the others are Bruce Banner and two are AK47 and haven’t had an issues with them at all. Just the White Widows.

Hello and welcome.
Other nice looking plants there!
Guessing only without details, about soil, watering, inputs and stuff.
Even though similar treatment, details have clues.
Surely it didn’t happen overnight. Notice any sickness that led up to this?

Thank you for the compliment on the others… No, this started a little over a month or so ago, and i have tried everything i can think of. Gave it a little more nutrients than the others because i thought it might have a nitrogen or potassium deficiency. Nothing changed. I dont know what else to do. I really wanted the WW to thrive. It is one of my favorites. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Soil is organic dirt with organic fertilizers that i got from TSC mixed with coconut bricks my mom got off Amazon. She has been trying to help me figure it out too.

That wood mulch on top is prone to having fungus in it. I even see a mushroom growing in that pot with the sick plant.
To protect the soil maybe next time just use a little pea gravel to cover it.
I am guessing you have a root fungus. Suggest moving that one away from the other plants.

Is there anything i can do to get rid of the fungus?

If it is a root fungus then there is nothing I know of that will fix it. The decay will continue and the plant will die. If it was something with your grow system then the other plants would look the same at least a little bit. This plant is strikingly different which makes me think something is wrong in the dirt. Could be bugs eating your roots, but that leads to fungus too. Thats why I suggest moving it away from the healthy ones.
On the good plants I would remove the mulch and dead leaves. Dead leaves will rot and cause problems. Try not to water too often as a constant wet soil is bad for cannabis.

I dug it out, rinsed the roots off and they were all healthy, no slime and no rott, but the dirt around them was soaking wet. I think i was over watering it. So i put it in a smaller pot of new dryer dirt. Hopefully in a few days i will see some improvement… Im still stuck on how to get the purple out of the stock and branches. Any tips on that?

Purple is not the bad guy that some people say it is.
Most of the plants I and others here grow have purple on the stems and other places. Not to worry.
Waterlogged soil will starve the roots of needed oxygen. Good job fixing it and it may just recover.
