I got this torch yesterday. Main head looks great. The other head not so much. I originally thought it was a new, young head that was growing. Now I'm thinking it may just be dying. I dipped, and inspected thoroughly, no sign of brown jelly or pests. It looked like this in the store.

Best thing you can do to help others help you is post pictures under white light. It could be a number of things, lights, flow, maybe even your parameters.

This was a local purchase. I've made a new observation--- it seems like the head was cut through the center. These pics are the whitest and clearest I could get:

It died. Do I have anything to worry about with the main head? Still looks healthy
