First off let me say that the people involved with this are not new by any means. Decades of growing, and never ever ever seen or heard of this. With that said, we have a basement of death.
We have different grown at several different locations, each with its own variables to deal with, but each variable has always been dealt with successfully. This basement however has us stumped, as NOTHING will grow properly in it. The growth all slows to a crawl and any strain no matter how healthy, no matter seed or clone dramatically stunts.
First let me eliminate some things that we have been vigilante in testing or can simply eliminate.
-pH is always spot on. Monitored by bluelab.
-coco has not only been tested its the same soil being used at other locations. Royal gold tupur. Also tried making our own to make sure it was cleaned very very well. Neither have mattered. Again, same coco works like a charm at all the other locations. We use it the exact same.
-not believes to be bacterial. every piece of equipment and inch of room was cleaned as if it were an operating room.
-not believed to be bugs for reasons listed above. Plus we have high power microscopes that have revealed nothing. And there aren't really signs of any bugs we know of.
-not heat. It's 72f
-not lack of air movement or stale air. Fans and 8 inch inline fans are circulating and pulling air in and out.
- co2 monitor is reading 400 with fans on, 500 with fans off.
Plants all are getting bumps on the top of leaves. They are NOT eggs or bugs, it is the leaf swelling up in small tiny bumps. (Pics can get taken tonight). After that happens they stunt and grow so slow with some plants throwing out weird(ish) growth.
Again, I'll get pics tonight... But they are so subtle that I'm not sure if we are going to need a macro lense or not.
Any initial thoughts? I'm assuming I left some info out, so fire away with questions.
Cheers and thank you,
