You and aero have caught hell the past year
You don't even know the half Lol, I think it all comes down to cleaning equipment, when I take new cuts off the cuts and run them a 2nd time, they always perform great, could even be something in the cloning trays maybe, since when I run clones from my ez cloner it disappears as well, but whatever it is, when it gets in a plant, it's insane! I'm going to do a scrub down and cleaning, ditch the pots switch to rw blocks and get a batch of new cuts. Should solve the issue. Also, it spreads easily in hydro, I put a couple cuts in the other tray with the mendo, then a week later a mendo and the diamond og caught it, most mendos are fine tho and the only black lime was fine, so some plants are way more susceptible for sure, it doesn't seem to affect some at all or as fast

Forgot about my secret weapon, not sure if it works on the dud issues but giving it a try. Ridomil! I forgot I used it on the current ghostriders while they were in veg and it turned out to be the best veg growth I've had in a year and the plants in flower appear to be the best I've had in a year as well. Could be a coincidence, but it's worth a shot, also not sure if the ghostrider had any dud symptoms at the time. At any rate, I added it to the assorted clones at 1ml per 10 gallons, I also added it to the mendo Breath at the same rate. Curious to see how things go. The assorted clones have 10 days to make a miraculous recovery, if they are on track in 10 days I'll know the ridomil had worked. If not, I have a clone order for 50 cuts that will replace everything :)

Getting sudsy in the resres :) I have a good feeling about taking these steps, I'm certain I can fix it

strapped in to see what comes of it!
So far so good! Plants took it extremely well, what I noticed is the res for the assorted clones bubbled up hardcore as seen in the picture, but there were no suds at all in the mendo Breath res. That tells me something is in the assorted clones and the ridomil must have killed it, leaving me to think it's a fungus of some sort. I bet the the "dud' is simply furissum or pythium which is soooooo much easier to deal with :)

I believe this is The problem to all the bad plant issues I've been having. It feels and looks like poop. Smushy and thick. No smell. Was at the bottom of the res today, 2 days after running ridomil. What is it? No fucking clue, but it is indeed a fungus. Problem solved I do believe. Goodbye dud! Now it's time to get back to growing some dank like pre glue Era.

Debating now on whether I'll stack the blocks on another block for flower or if I won't have to, or in flower fill the 1 gallon pots half way with just a small amount of hydroton and set the block on top. I'll probably do that, it'll be cheap and I think it might work well
