Howdy all.
I have had this ongoing problem in my veggers for about a year now and it seems to be spreading to my other strains.
From new clones, everything grows OK until the first transplant into medium pots. Then, the stems go purple and the tops start twisting and mutating and the plants basically stop growing. The roots remain healthy-looking and the plants won't die, they just don't grow until about a month plus then they start popping new shoots up.
It's as if they were already in 12/12 then the light cycle was changed back to 18/6 and they're trying to re-veg.
Once I put them into flower they seem to bounce back although some of the wierd twisted/mutated leaves will remain on the lower stems.
I have tried everything and I'm totally stumped. Flushing, spraying (no broad mites or other visible pests, even with a 300x scope), foliars, you name it. It only seems to affect certain strains. I'm thinkin it might be a virus, as I have signs of tobacco mosaic virus (i.e. mottled leafs and sideways twisting) on some other strains. It all started when I brought in some dirty clones from a local bank (thenursery.us ...avoid these people!! :( )

Thanks much for any help.....
