Invisible soil dwelling pests? I’m lost

[Buttercup726]

A little background. Been at this for a while. Pretty much experience most of the major pests. Normally would find a solution and deal with it.

So my buds are not stacking/sticking together. The cola which would normally form one solid bud ends up drying up to 4-5 smaller pieces that separate. It has me perplexed. Even before I go to chop it down I can separate the bud but it normally does not do this. It should be one nice decently sized piece.

I’ve even shut down for months and bought new equipment but it’s still happening. No bugs on the foliage. The only thing I can think of is maybe a soil dwelling pest or a virus??

I’ve dealt with root aphids before. I don’t see any at all unless they are micro root aphids. One thing that has been a common theme is fungus gnats. I know for sure the flyers are not root aphid flyers. I’ve seen those before too. I’ve even looked

I left the place dormant for months and still having this problem. I’ve had numerous successful grows prior this.

I use hp pro mix
Advanced nutrients
Temp 75 humidity 50%
lights 2-2.5 feet away from canopy.

Try the triple threat beneficial nematodes from arbico organics.

Hortilux 600w for flower. Running MH during veg. I’m pretty sure my environment is on point. Might be some virus. Just baffled. After letting it sit dormant and new equipment

Try using a live worm castings tea a few times in early to mid flower and use epsom salt and garden gypsum instead of calmag for amendment of mag and calcium, they both have sulphur which boosts stickiness and smell.
