fungus attack buddy, I had the same problem, PH 6, humidity 45% temp 80 degrees 18 hour lighting , fluoros, 4 inches off plants, nutrients were mild. Diagnosed by removing and killing plant , out of 3 plants that was the only one that got sick, indica strain, i have an afgan strain that was next to it, same age 3 weeks old, didnt get affected.

some strains are fungie resistant, some are not....

also, keep an eye on your other plants, chances are they are infected and ....... sad to say, u might have to kill the whole crop, as there is no cure... :(

fuck that... this does not look like a fungus!!! to me it looks like a ph fluxuation problem. i think you should flush your entire system.. and see what that does for you!

Ha HA I agree Jake no way is it a Fungus Def here ya on the PH fluc my PH goes between 5.8-6.3 is that enough of a fluctuation to make a difference? Also I just noticed that my nodes stems are turning purple on the tops, kinda like Phoshporous Def??? But the red stems could be genetic

to be honest with you smitty i am going through the same problem you are right now. my ph fluxuated a little bit more than yours but the yellow spots on the leafs are a dead give away.. it could also be a potasium defficency.. i havent figured out which one yet... i am going to flush my plants in the bath tub first thing tomarow morning... and see what happenes hopefully the problem will subside!!

Jakebakingcake, with PH fluxuation do you mean big PH changes over time or do you mean the PH changes from "sections" of the soil? Do your plants look like my plants? I've always thought it was some kind of PH problem!

no it was a small small change ... i use R/O water to water my plants.. when i started adding nutes to the water it actually lowered my ph to about 5.0..needless to say i was unaware of that ph change and proceeded to water my plants with it ... thats when i started noticing the little dots all over the leafs and thought to myself "something is fucked up".. hence the upcomming flushing!!

My buddy had the same problem with a certain PH tester being off by .5-1.5 at times. It wasn't even a cheap one just defected. I'm just making sure the obvious is not overlooked. Good luck everybody!

I've always run hydro @ 5.6 - 5.8 PH and soil/soiless mix @ 6.8 this is what Jorge Cervantes suggests and so does Ed Rosenthal works for me good growing

if you get mites mix 1L of water with 1 sliver of sope and 1 small clove of fresh garlic and mist your plant leafs then take your fingers and rub it off gently, I had mites and I did that and its been 1 month and I might be getting them again but I have to spray all the plants in the house to make sure that I kill them all off
