OK So I got some clones (bubba and leroy og) from a guy in Socal a couple weeks ago that were in 6 inch rock wool cubes.. Rock wool cubes that had algae on the top of them..so I am guessing the guy had high humidity? Anyhow.. I am a soil gardener so since the clones were only put into 6 inch cubes a couple day prior and I needed to put them in soil (wasnt aware the guy ran hydro until I showed up at his place), I pulled off most of the rock wool with no issues.. the roots hadnt really come out of the smaller rockwool plugs they were started in which probably helped the xplant.. Needless to say they didnt seem to like the move from rock wool to soil so I decided to give the roots a little help and do some foliar feeding with some light organic ferts. The temps were in the 68 to 76 area light off/on humidity aroun 56-60 (too high I am guessing) and about 8 days in after they had seemed to recover very well.. I noticed 3 dime sized spots that are a clear sign of the onset of pm. and I almost shit myself... I removed some leaves, simply wiped a coupl off (more just trying to decide wtf was on the leaves than really trying to remove PM) chopped down one plant that was already showing signs of being weaker than its sisters to avoid future issues and sprayed a combo or potassium bicarbonate, olive oil, and some liquid soap on the rest of the plants..very thoroughly. I will also note that i have 2 unknowns from bag seed and 1 fem ww that are a couple weeks old and looking very healthy.. Ive had a slight PM issue before long ago.. and the signs I am seeing here seem like the very beginning of an issue with the very faint circle that almost looks like some hard water was left to dry in a dime sized circle on the few fan leaves that they were on.. I am wondering if I need to scrap all of my plants? They are all under 12 inches the seedling are still just around 6 inches... Dont bother recommending I spray eagle or any other crap on them ( I made the mistake of using floramite in the past.. not ruining another crop with shit chems). I have recently also upped the temp to at least 76 lights off and more like 85 -86 lights on.. Im jsut growing in a small 2 x 4 tent for fun currently.. I also went in yesterday and warmed it up to +- 100 degrees for the better part of 70 minutes..so in theory anything that was PM related in the tent is now dead. I dont think that any spores were released judging by the way the spots looked..very faint.. Ive seen more advanced cases... Ditch the clones and keep the seedlings? Ditch everything? Keep the remaining plants and watch carefully?I cant afford to trash all my equipment and spend another grand to replace everything I just recently purchased. My last grow was in a 5x9 and I had mild pm issues with a stupid Key Lime plant with several other BBKs sitting right next to it and they were never affected.. Long winded yes.. Sorry about that... I think I brought about the PM by giving the plants the foliars when they were stressed and being an idiot and keeping the temp right in the zone the PM likes.. Thoughts? Thanks!
