Never before seen degradation of plants

[Dex420]

Hello Friends!

I have been growing for 5 years now and had never had a plant die on me...this changed this year when all my garden got the same disease and started slowly dying (I will post slow dying of leaves in photos)...I took clones out of the healthy parts and then had to kill all of them!! I think high humidity and or disease carried in by ants could be the problem(they seem to do well when they are younger and later the disease strikes), I would forever be thankful if someone can let me know what could be affecting my plants!

Note: I also changed nutrients which might have affected the situation.

Top new growth speckled areas look a little like thrip or spider mite damage, but not quite right. I'd inspect top and bottoms with a 60x scope and see what you find. Not sure the yellow outer edges on older leaves is related, maybe a nutrient issue. Good luck!

Any chance you used old soil form a previous grow? looks like a ph issue. had this problem realized i used old soil that had bloom nutes in it.

3rd pick almost definitely looks like a phosphorus deficiency. Since almost no grow naturally has a P deficiency, it's got to be due to a lockout caused by pH issues. Usually if your soil pH is below 6, this will start to happen. Try adding a little lime to your pots. It's the fastest acting thing I know of to increase soil pH (don't over use). Maybe someone here with perhaps more than 6 years under their belt can recommend something better.

Hey man! I have been using the same pots which may have afected the ph....also i get my water and store it on a plastic container to have it de-chlorised, do you think this could affect the ph problem?

thanks for the reply

Note: When I change my plants outdoor in the good sun, they seem to recover and bloom perfectley...I will upload photos of the same plants now

Thanks, I will check on my ph...allso i get my water and store it on a plastic container to have it de-chlorised, do you think this could affect the ph problem?

Are you sure that using those ferts is such a good idea? Why do you have that many bottles? Your leaves looks like they're being poisoned. If you were successful for 5 years, what changes have you made to your grow method?

As long as you ph after the leaching of chlorine, no.

People grow no-till and ROLS all the time.
