Black mold on new growth

[Spotsy]

Hey. Leave me out of this.. I didn't start nothing.. I'm the original poster of this . I think your thinking I'm someone else... I asked a simple question,, has anyone else seen this in your grow? SPOTSY

I had it pop up on two tops of one of my outdoor plants last year. Chopped those two branches n never seen it come up again through the rest of flower. It showed up about the second week of flower

I too have been battling this purple crap for at least a few years now. It almost seems like something that changes/degrades/mutates the plants genes leading to deformed and discolored leaves/tops. Although the buds normally do mature they are usually small and stunted, with a little bit of everything missing in the end product as far as smell, crystals...i imagine THC is lowered as well although I havent tested the CRAP. I'm killing some plants now that I wanted to bring inside and do some crossing with....be nice if some answers were found, I see others talking here and around the net....but nothing for sure. It's not a temp or water on the plant being burned by the sun thing I can assure you. It's in the leaf pigment it appears, you cant wipe it off.....getting damn tired of it. 40 years of growing only problem was deer and thieves, now this GRRRRrrr..

edit-also i have certain strains that NEVER get it and a few strains that DO get it. I never get it inside when i grow from seed, only plants exposed to outside and then, not all of them

Gotta say, I had it with outdoor bagseed a couple years ago.....I contributed it to non-stable genetics.......

I'm sure my post doesn't help in any way, but I have looked into it.........

Yep. Exactly,, although this year all my plants pulled thru.. and I'm looking at an excellent harvest.. did a few testers. And there up to snuff... I think it's transmitted by leafhoppers or thrips.. but just my opinion

I have a feeling that the big corporate grows already know the answers but just dont want to share with the little guy/other competitors...
