Interesting. So it boils down to oxygen to the roots. Airflow and drainage are key. We’ve got a couple other people with the same issue.I think I have solved it. The purple on new growth, the loss of plants, etc. etc. is due to --- Overwatering coupled with Root Rot. This explains everything as the plant don't use any nutes at this point, stops growing, and eventually dies. Look for stagnate water pooling near the roots, a plant growing in a container that don't drain well or drain completely. I think draining completely and letting the roots "dry out a little before watering" is key here in this situation.
Outdoor grows that are not in pots can still get this if watered too frequently, or just has the fungus in the growing medium which would explain why certain people have it year after year if they use the same location every time or same compost.
Why don't it happen in hydroponics indoors? Because the roots are visible and its easy to find information on when you search for "slimly brown twisted roots." The problem is caught early on and the plant don't have a chance to exhibit advanced stages of this fungus.
I have had Root Rot before and mine didn't look like this.---- Simple overwatering can affect your plants in many, many different ways. Depending on which element the plant runs out of first, the plant could do anything depending on PH, Source and content of the water and other environmental factors. This coupled with the thousands of strains of fungus that cause Root Rot, and bingo, a sick plant with strange problems.
I'm not a botanist though.
Serenade and Daconil are contact fungicides, not systemic. Not sure how well either works against viruses either.
