Ok starting from the beginning...My partner and some of his circle have had this cut of lemon G for quite some time. Great yielder, taste like lemon head candy. Recently he has taken over a G-room and running this strain. Last season he lost a whole crop, due to what he claims as a disease or bacteria. I think its a deficiency. Although the symptoms were extreme.
I went over to help, and noticed that the leaves were cat clawing, and there were yellow spots all over. I instantly thought cal/mag deficiency. Also all of the bud's orange hairs had turned black and died off, which I agreed sounded bacterial.
When I went to check them out and trouble shoot, I noticed first off that the temp and humidity in his sealed G-room were astronomical. He knows this is bad but claims he has already harvested under the same conditions with out this particular problem. 2nd his RO unit was hooked up backwards and he was running hydro in water with like 800ppm's. I suggested he tear the room down, clean it with an antifungal/bacterial solution, unseal the room for fresh air circulation and get a portable ac unit, in case it really was a fungal/bacteria. Now being how I think 90% of the time the problem is not a disease, but a deficiency I took a small cut to my garden to run and see if I could correct it. Also in our possession is a mother (same seed different cut).
He is sticking to it not being a deficiency, because he claims when he vented that grow room into another grow room that all those plats got it as well.
Here is the kicker. I took it to my garden, grew it from clone, and now in veg state, it shows the same signs. I have been doubling up on the cal/mag, but I think at this point I am a little confused. The mother plant from a different cut is twice as old, but showing none of the same signs. could this be a disease? I am including a picture. Remember when in budding, the hairs turn black and die off. Any help will do, at least for the sake of problem solving. Plus rep as always. I appreciate anyone's response here.
