I think I have a fungus but I'm not sure

Didn't come back and still not telling anyone he fed it 8.0 ec calmag, leading them in circles.
Folks are guessing heat, venting, CO2 poisoning, bugs, lights, transplant shock or some mystery blight.

From elsewhere on the web from his 5 threads :
"The leaves are crispy and dry and smell like dried cannabis when I open the tent. I wonder if it's possible these symptoms might be from heat stress or possibly a combination of that and gnats."

He's fed it a crapload, raised the lights and left the tent door open so the bugs will leave maybe, problem solved.:idea:
What?

Something got poured in there. You really need to give some info...you must have 5 threads on 2 contin

Instead of being an ass tell me what you want to know.
ents with no info...just saw the same pics somewhere else ...being vague won't get you anything but more bad advice to follow.

You need to increase duct size and lower fan speed, that gets rid of the freight train sound but you have to have air exchange. Thats besides the point though.
I 'm going with straight nutrient toxicity for this and ignoring the stuff you had going on before. Those leaves are purple because they didn't even have time to change color before they were dead. Are they completely crispy after turning purple and drying? Looks like it.

The problem is not nutrient toxi like some people *cough* *cough* would have you believe. I've only fed them once with 1tsp of cal mag and they were showing signs of trouble before hand. 99% sure they have a fungal or bacterial infection

A tsp is a tsp right. If I dilute into a gallon but feed it the whole gallon it's still getting the same tsp.
Not exactly. When feeding with liquids, its the concentration that's important. A tsp/gal is appropriate for CalMag, not the tsp/cup suggested previously. A cup of the 16x strength CalMag would likely cause problems due to the astronomical EC.

Needs food,he says hasn't fed yet.No real amendments but bottle fed last round.
Mix up .8ec food/calmag feed to runoff.Should make her green again.If your organic fish hydroslate (sp) Neptunes Harvest 2-3-1.Is popular with organics.

crispy leaves , yes?
I said...crispy leaves, yes?
(That is not a fungus, the cell walls are desiccated, not collapsed.)
Then saw you decided to take an alternate diagnosis and run with that. After you told them you had crispy leaves, didn't mention that here, but the pictures showed it.

Dumping a gallon of water later doesn't work, the pictures tell the tale.
Half your leaves and roots are dead, and the plant is in shock.
Get over it, move on. You're still in denial.

Not a single person in the other threads asked you what the heck you fed it, instead they offered helpful advice to raise your lights, close the damn tent flap, turn on your fan, kill the bugs.
All of those are bad gardening practices, but not related to to toxicity that turns the leaves purple and crispy in 8 hours.
You just confuse people and yourself , giving half the details.

PS...Now that the leaves are damaged and the roots are rotting, your plant may be susceptible to fungus.

Flush them and do a run off test test PH run off too
No, no ph runoff tests, thats useless. That's yesterdays menu, no longer relevant.
You can do a PH slurry test of the medium, but that's immaterial here too.

PH only the water going in, EC test is for both input and output. (if needed, usually not)
Just needs some gentle nutes and restart the biotics till the roots can support a plant again, hopefully get some vigor back.
You got all that dead root material, just like the leaves, to deal with. Then bugs and ventilation.

Yeah your probably correct
Tbf I never check ph run off but I've heard others that swear by it from YouTube vids
I know lads who don't ph anything just straight out of the tap and away you go but me personally I ph and ec everything going in
I never even used to flush mine weekly but I've learnt over the years that the nutes do build up
Less is usually more

You don't know what your talking about. I started to get rusty looking leaves prior to feeding it anything. The problem has gotten worse no matter what I have done. Not only are your assumptions off base but you're very rude too. If you can't be friendly then please stop replying to my posts. Thanks

And btw I only fed of the my two plants cal mag and they both have the same issue so your theory that the plants look like that from a one time feeding of cal mag is not right.

That's the calcium deficiency setting in. Still a separate issue.
You tried to fix it, right?

Whoops, happens to anyone. Stoners especially.
You aren't the first to wake up to plants like that.
It's still crispy leaves, starting at the bottom, moving up the capillary system.
Anything will do that if they aren't properly mixed. Fried.

Right, thats what toxic poison does once it entered the capillary system.

I'm not worried about your feelings, don't waste everyone's time by not giving the basics except when prodded...that's what's out of line here.
You got bugs and ventilation still to fix, roots need time

And you failed.to.adress the fact that both plants are showing the same signs even though only one was fed cal.mag. funny how you don't even take time to read the ops post and yet criticize anyway. Clearly you know everything.
