So one problem I’m going to fix for next year is that they don’t get morning sun to evaporate all the dew quickly. The sun rises from the left of this picture and goes to the right throughout the day. One picture has a candy striped leafhopper, found one a couple days ago. The rest are just updates. Much deeper green than before, but still black/purple present.

Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but I did see that exact same colored leaf hoppers on my plants too.

I’ve only seen one or two, and I don’t have the means to really get involved in fighting a war against the outdoors right now. Next year I have ideas for what I need do, including prepping with the right chemicals (anti bug/fungal/microbial/etc.) from the start now that I know my area is prone to it. This year is just going to be a learning experience apparently. Maybe I’ll get some untainted buds out of it, I won’t know until I know.

Its back this year I noticed some new interesting things .. Mainly shows on my pkants that are shaded .. the plants in containers were kept in the sun only one sat back in the area that gets some shade and it looks like it has a little bit of purpling that went away once in the sun and spraying LAB on her ..

also I noticed it after the rainy part of summer and then the humid days on the plants in the ground with more shade ... I noticed it in the same manner 2 years ago in my swamp grow ..plants around the perimeter got it while plants in sunshine all day did not .. and it really thrived and appeared in the humidity bought of two weeks .. after that here in Michigan it gets really cool at night as soon as it starts that temp drop at night most of mine recover .. but would make sense why those Hawaiian growers have had to name it Black Death ./. I mean only one plant will not make it in my back yard I will post a video link if I can and as well some pictures of those in the sunlight and got residual damage from the bugs and the couple that are beyond recovery also some I had been spraying with milk and lab as well during even the humid time cause milk kills the PM spores on contact so it cannot get a chance to start .. those plants had less residual neighbor damage from the red and blue leaf hoppers in the shaded plants .. Literally I have grown in the woods medical in Michigan for 10 years and had not seen this before 2019 ...

The only two of mine that have it so far are on the shady side of how I planted them. 4 plants in a line that happens to run north/south ish, two south side plants got it, that’s the side of everyone’s house that gets mildew around here. And probably not helping, behind a barn on the east side so they don’t get morning sun…but the east side is where the road view is. Had to block em somehow. Well, it’s 4 now anyway…started with five, but one turned male/herm. Had to go.

I had Leaf Hoppers early on, think back in the end of June. The multi colored ones as well as the plane brownish n Greenish ones. Fought them off with LCPT.
Had a pretty wet spring and humidity was above the norm it seems. Michigan.
I have the plants on a slight slope in the garden. The one that got it back in June and now is the plant nearest the bottom of the slope, it kind of flattens out right there, not standing water but its the last area to dry out when it has been dry out for a few days. I simple cut off the affected area, removed one or two new sprigs of new growth that had it. Noticed it only on newer growth. Seemed simple enough, snip n gone. Well, it reappeared the other day, August 17th. Snipped it once again.
The plant got it twice is the last plant to receive sun in the morning and it is slightly shaded throughout the morning. After the long read of this entire thread, its looking more and more like a Leaf Hopper relation, they bite the plant and if they are carrying it, poof, the plant gets The Purple.
Not knowing anything about this, except what I've been reading here, I am not sure what to do. I am just passing this along to maybe help with diagnosis. Is this going to spread into my Buds as they develop and make it un smokable. Should the plant be removed, I sure hate to do that, its a fucking Beauty...

Think I should add the plant is from seed, Barneys farms Gorilla ZkittleZ. Mine is in the ground outside.

I just finished a through inspection of the other plants, got up on the 6 foot ladder and found some on my Mendo Kush in the tippy top of one of the main Cola's. This plant is from a Clone and is the first sign of it on that plant.. Opposite end of the garden. Its been a care free plant, meaning it has not been eaten on, no fungus.

The other thing I did not mention is the plants developed Leaf Septoria as well. Been battling that.

Try wetable sulfur for your leaf spot (Bonide makes a good one). Remove infected leaves and burn. Clean tools after every snip so you dont spread it.

I learned a lot from ask Ed in high times magazines in early 90’s. Between working at a greenhouse at age 15,16,and 17 and ask Ed, by 18 I was going strong!
We used to get HT in a plain brown wrapper in the mail. Postman asked me once about it, I told him it was an 'adult' magazine. He nodded and never said another word about it.
