I think it has to be something in the dirt since my plant only get it once i plant into the ground how would i go about testing the dirt?

I had the exact same thing on a few growth shoots. I read that it could be mold or a disease so I cut it off wherever I saw it. The one thing I read said leaf hoppers spread it and I have a ton of leaf hoppers. Can't remember what it's called though.

That is exactly what my one plant had. I cut off every growth shoot that had that stuff. I read that it's phytoplasma and it's spread by leaf hoppers. I didn't want to take any chances of it infecting my whole grow so I chopped it all off.

If it's not phytoplasma, please let me know what it is. I'd rather not cut away any more of my grow if I don't have to

I thought it was from leaf hoppers as well but only my plants that are directly in the ground have it and not my plants in my fabric pots which makes me think its something in my ground soil but not 100% sure cause i have seen leaf hoppers but not as nearly as much as prior years

Mine are in the ground, makes me curious what it could be since it's only bothering yours that are in the ground. It only effected one of my plants, none of the others that are right next to it. Very weird

This same issue comes up every year. There is some type of phytoplasma disease that resembles this “condition” but in most cases, it is not the dreaded Black Death as it often referred to.

I have had it the past 3 years. First year it was quite extensive and freaked me out so I cut A LOT of tops trying to prevent any further spread. All that did was reduce my yield. The tops I left just grew out of it. The last couple of years I only had a few areas of my plants affected and did nothing about it. The first year, pretty much everyone I talked to locally had seen the same thing to some extent.

It always shows up as flowering starts. Every time. So it’s either environmental or a slight nutrient deficiency (P) as the plant transitions. Try upping you’re flowering nutes (phosphorus) and stop cutting away your yield. Don’t panic or overreact. Just stay the course and all will be fine, I promise!

That is exactly what I am seeing. So it's just phosphorus deficiency? FML, I wish I didn't cut it away. I got so panicked and didn't want it to spread that I chopped a bunch away....ugh. Thank you for the heads up.

Yes, that’s been my experience. Nothing you can do now...it’s still early enough that your plants should recover pretty well and carry on. Now you’ll know for next time. I did the same thing as you first time I saw it. lol

If it did turn out to be the phytoplasma infection/disease, which I’m sure it’s not, your plants would be screwed anyway...so there’s really no point in doing anything as from what limited cases I have read about, there’s no cure for it.

Just incase someone thinks it’s a P deficiency it’s not.

P is a mobile element. Any deficiencies exhibit there symptoms on lower leaves.

The other first tail tale sign is purple petioles/blueish hue appears to the green leaves
