OK but you don't know that's parasitic!
Mites and what not don't turn pot leaves into what looks like a funky tomato leaf. If it is parasites, then you'd probably better get rid of it before it infects your whole house. I wouldn't waste my light bill clams on a parasitic pot plant that to unstable to fend off illness.

Thatā€™s exactly what some mites do. Make the leaves curl like that. But he said heā€™s scoped thoroughly and with 14 some years of growing Iā€™ll gake his word on that

Have you pulled any out and dig into the roots? Maybe sacrificing 1 or 2 to really dig in and see what the rootzone is doing would help?
 
#24
At first look id say that its russet mites. But i cant find anything for the life of me. And once i put a plant into flower nothing happened to the pistols.
 
#25
I have spent alot of time in the root zone scoping and what not. And i have seen a few nematodes. But i cant tell if they are parasitic or predatory. They look and move like predatory. And seeing as how the people we got clones from use predatory it would make sense.
 
#26
If mites did that kind of damage you'd see a lot of chew spots.
 
#27
That's why you never buy clones, you never know what your getting. These people crossing good strains a million times and making weak genetics and calling it anything they want. Seed banks are the only way to go and keep moms.
 
#28
Ive had broad mites before easy to spot there eggs. Id think id see russets after tons of scoping. Honestly id be stoked to find a russet. Viruses are a growers worst nightmare.
 
#29
I had no choice but to purchase clones from another legal 502 grow. Didnt get a 15 day window to bring in genetics. Its a washington state deal.

Just order some seeds from a reputable breeder, they'll be in your mail box in about 2 weeks.
That's exactly what I do, I've never had mites or sick plants. I'm 25 days bloom today and I don't have one bad leaf. These are cloned from the same mothers and the mothers are about 3 years old. 75% of the time problems start with genetics. Strong genetics make for smooth high yielding crops without all that ph fluctuation, and mysterious shit that you can't figure out what's causing it.

Thats been my story for a long long time.. growing was easy and enjoyable for me. Now its a nightmare. Im not allowed to just order seeds. I must purchase them from another 502 legal grow.
 
#32
And if it is as virus all my new seedlings would get affected again. All my fans, ac units, trays..... id never be able to get that shit 100 percent clean.
 
#33
Im sending in samples to get lab tested.. 300 per test not cheap but worth it to figure this shit out.
 
#34
You don't have a mail box? Nobody is ordering seeds from over seas legally but their not going to break down your door for a packet of seeds. There would be a lot of caved in doors if that was the case. That's what this forum is, a seed selling promotion.
 
#35
I have a legal 502 grow in washington state. This isnt a closet grow or medical. Theres alot of rules to adhear to. Seed to sale tracking but seed must have a legal source to be manifested from. Has to explain just gotta take my word for it. Haha
 
#36
Well if your running that kind of operation, it doesn't seem you'd be wasting your time on sickly plants that probably won't harvest much. If your selling that shit, people want to know what their smoking. Doesn't seem you'd be looking for answers in a public forum if your running a commercial grow room. There's rules and regulations. Gotta be protocol.
 
#37
Not selling anything yet. Everything must be tested. I didnt know there was a commerical growing section... plus this is a issue that has stumped the smartest growers i have come across so i figured maybe there was someone in here that has seen something like this. Im not wasting time on sick plants just trying to figure out the problem before i move on.
 
#38
You didn't know there is pot farms in states where it's legal?
If a stain is susceptible to illness, then most people know that it runs in the genes of the strain and will most likely happen to other plants of the same strain and it's clones. That's the time you get rid of that strain so it don't end up in someone else's grow room wasting their time and light bill.
You been growing for 27 years, good luck with your retard plant.

Ive gotten rid of sick plants. Im more or less trying to pin point a exact problem rather then guessing. Im sending in material to be proberly tested. In the mean time i posted up here to see if anyone has seen anything like this. I nor anyone else know exactly what it is. It came from a reputable source. If there is such a thing. I would have preferred to start from fresh seeds but i didnt have enough good genetics nor time. Thanks for ur guys input. Once i get lab results i will let u guys know.

What you use for sprays? How often? New facility? Fresh paint or spray foam by chance? Isocyanates can cause leaf curling. I bet you know what those are lol
