Problems with chocolope, possible PM??

So this plant is a chocolope clone in subcools super soil. I had PM on other chocolope clones, and I wanted yalls opinion on what the deficiency is, and if those white dots are PM.

If it does have PM, I will either do a sulfur burn, or just remove it from the growing area.

here are some pics of my problems.

Also, I think that the spots on the leaves are due to PH, but I'm not positive.

I have a sulfur burner I plan to use right before 12/12, and once a week for the first to weeks of 12/12 (This is mainly to make sure none of the other plants get affected, as well as this particular chocolope)


I am using a 2x4 tent, under a 400W CMH right now, and I will be switching to a 600W HPS after the plants do their 12/12 stretch.

What would you do? Scratch the scraggly plant with spots and possible PM, or try and nurse it through flowering once it has recovered?

Looks like nute burn. From the super soil being to hot for your young clones. That's not PM.

I can not see any powdery mildew in your pics. I agree with dbuffet it looks looks like your soil is to hot. As to whether you would scrap it because of a pm problem, I would not because there are many pm solutions out there. Unless of course you have an abundance of plants you could replace it with.

I also don't really see any PM. When I got PM a noticed with it a distinctively musty smell. However my babies got them in a dome, so it was pretty concentrated.

so should i give it just plain RO water PH'd to 6.5?

well, it was PM come to find out... The light green spots I believe are a very early indicator of PM. I'm not sure about this, but this clone wound up with PM... It seems every Chocolope I cloned had PM. Only the ones from seed did not show signs of PM. That being said I have cloned 4 strains not including the chocolope, under the exact same conditions, and chocolope was the only one that I cloned that had PM. I also learned PM is systemic, which means once you have it, you will always have it in that plant.

In conclusion, chocolope is "in my opinion" very susceptible to infections when being cloned (compared to Jillybean, G13haze, LSD, and white russian).

Ok...this whole thread is going lower fast...My clones always get Pm...it is stressful being a clone, but as long as you keep the clone healthy and it turns into a plant you keep healthy you shouldn't see again...lol. Even if you do nothing...and PM doesn't cause yellow spots...but you are overfeeding which is causing deficiencies...and a plant deficient in potassium will usually get PM...so no matter how many plants you toss you will keep getting Pm on clones...but just because it is there doesn't mean it will have an effect, even if that were true and it was always there...PM is a fungus...it attaches to the plant..it is not an internal plant disease, but a diseased or unhealthy plant is more likely to get PM...clones get it because they are stressed...

and what you had in the pics absolutely was not powdery mildew...powdery mildew is just what it sounds like...white powder spots on your leaves and stems and such...for it to turn a plant yellow the whole plant would have to be covered in white, and your pictured plant was not...so good luck. I hope you get any over watering/ fertilizing under control.

Yeah............
I read over this again and all I know to tell you is that you need to step up your research game a little bit...

some people use RIU to research. some people enjoy human interaction and validation when discussing issues with something they are new to. if al the newbs left RIU and just started researching theri own stuff a lot of them would mess up badly due to misunderstandings or bad internet info and the traffic on RIU would go down by 75%. he's a new grower working through a problem...better to help than it is to send him away.

i don't see any PM in the photos you posted. if you could post some others that show the actual PM you think you see thhen that would help. also, would need some more info on the plants to determine what might be the cause. how often are you watering them? what nutrients and amounts are you feeding them? what soil are they in? how old and tall are the plants? do you test the soil pH?

it looks like lockout to me. nute burn usually starts on the tips and then moves inward. could be a soil pH issue. need more info though.
