    been dealing with a slough of plant problems that I’ve watch spread from just a couple plants, to nearly every strain we have and been noticing this abnormal growth that seems to spread through god knows what but have seen affected plants spread to the ones that would be right next to it and has “infected” the branching that is directly next to, or up against the real bad ones and it strongly resembles broad/russet mite damage from leaf twist, stunted growth, dark small uniform leafs with no large fan leafs, sometimes affecting only single branches, pale and very weak stems that Break with zero resistance and no snap, sporadic wide branching and some genetics are more prone to it than others but have seen it on just about every strain at least on one plant One time or another... I think it is directly related to the stress pollen sacs That will be almost everywhere during early flower but will end up with little to no mature seeds by the time harvest and the only thing I can find with using a 60x-120x scope Are what appeared to be eggs they will look very different than early trichs And based on all the research over the last 4 to 6 months what makes the most sense is we do have mites but the treatments we use kill any living and leave behind the eggs that hatch Before the next treatment. Plants also now display a variety of deficiencies on all other plants that don’t Exhibit the symptoms in question. I have checked the pH and the run off levels and nothing has been too far off . Anyone else have issues with mites causing male flowers/herms? I know that if you isn’t genetic because it’s affecting strains that have always been fine before it really seems like a systemic issue but that maybe because we don’t use moms we just cut off of every plant . Anyone have any suggestions on the Best way to alleviate stress and boost to plant health for I think bringing up their overall health will allow them to fight off all the shit they normally do. Could lack of oxygen be a key factor?? Plants have been For the most part over watered but have corrected that And They don’t seem To have root rot maybe a few plants but it doesn’t seem as if that’s the issue any help would be greatly appreciated will post a picture of affected plants tonight but will attach pictures from Google of exactly what I see both in the plants overall and also what I think are the eggs through microscope. Thanks!!
     
  2. These pics are just from internet that look like what we see on the affected plants, will have pics of ours later but show extreme folding in the leafs(taco-ing) whatever is causing it, it’s a bitch and would never wish this on anyone

    Something is definitely able to spread cause these plants are all next to each other and there’s just a single branch on one of the plants that was real close to one of the more affected ones and it seems pretty obvious that it jumped to the nearest branch of the next plant, which I’ve noticed instances like this before..would the logical assumption be mites? From what I’ve read over the last months is that you may never see live ones scrurrying around but this is what the damage looks like and would put the plant under much stress and totally alter the growth from the toxins they release. That combined with our lightting changes hopefully could be enough to send them into code red and have everything throw pollen sacks/nanners...does it take much stress for feminized seeds to nanner up pretty bad??
