so I'm here from my home forum seeking the gurus of plant experience.
To be honest what im dealing with is pretty much a guessing game and nobody i know has come to a conclusive answer.
so far the suggest reasons are
ph lockout
rust fungus
russet mites
and the obvious plant deficiency or toxicity.
so my setup. a small medical garden
1000w comparable led light
co2 rain with an avg 1200 ppm
temps average between 75-80 consistent
p.h. is always measured to 6.0
nutrient values are different depending on the stage of life the plant is in
I use the full line of A/N nutes drain to waste in coco.
RH in this room is kept at 45-50
so this problem started on a private reserve that was at the start of the flush cycle around week 7
it then moved to a plant strain at week 4 that is very sensitive to p.h. fluctuations and now its affecting my babies that just hit day 7 flower. all these plants have shared the same room. which leads me to believe that its not a nutrient problem but rather a pest or fungus or disease
symptoms are rust brown spots and brown leaf edges.
it starts with small rust and necrotic spots and it has moved up to the upper new leaves
when looking at the dark necrotic spots its looks similar to a small milky shiny pointed spike that is similar to a russet mite larva. Though i have seen any adult mites moving about with a 60x microscope. the plants overall have been very healthy until they were put into the room. the leaves have started to canoe upwards a put and there is a small sign of Tmv but i don't believe it is because there haven't been any follow-up symptoms that point in that direction. What every this is, it moves very fast in under 8 hours the newest plants have gone from healthy to small rust spots to the leaf edges on the top of the plant showing symptoms literally overnight
The pictures that are attached show the in order of the oldest plant to the newest ones that are infected.
currently, I did my best to bleach wash the room. I've spread for russet mites and a fungi/mite killing soap which I started in the last 24 hours and will keep doing so until symptoms improve or kill the plant.
regardless I'm not above killing them off if need be but first I would like help trying to identify this issue before I do, so I can target and sterilize the room properly
