Well, after tearing my hair out trying to figure out why some of my plants have leaves that are turning yellow, dying and falling off, I have finally come to suspect Fusarium wilt. Not only is this happening, but my clone success rate went from 99.9% to about 25% and even seedlings are dying for no reason.
I tried using a wide range of nutrients, keep everything well oxygenated, PH in proper range, etc. Basically, I've tried everything and am still having problems. The thing is, I've never had these problems before.
Anyway, in my search for an answer, I found a few articles about the US Government creating genetically engineered Fusarium and releasing it into the wild to kill off cannabis and other drug crops. And the stuff is particularly insidious because it even transfers into seeds where it stays dormant.
Anyway, it's really weird. I have had some girls growing like gang busters up until around week 3 of flower. Everything was looking great and then suddenly the disease took over and is killing the whole crop.
Anyone else seem to be suffering from this "mystery" disease? Looks like I'm going to start over with all fresh seed stock and go with a run to waste system with hepa filters and a UV air scrubber.
It's really fucked up that the Government is releasing dangerous eco system destroying pathogens but that is the subject of a separate thread. I just need to cure this shit.
