YET ANOTHER DISASTER IN THE MAKING (Pictures attached)
My most recent grow is shaping up to be the worst one yet in four years, despite me putting in all new lights, better ventilation, better temp regulation and using every insecticide, aracnicide and fungicide under the planet.
I'm only fifteen (15) days into flower right now and the uglies have already started.
This is the earliest that the plants have ever started to die.
Usually I can at least make it to day 20-25 before this EXACT SAME bs starts, and it ALWAYS happens no matter what I do. No matter how much nutrients I add or other healthy stuff I give it the plants just REFUSE to bloom properly.
Keep in mind they grew JUST FINE for TEN YEARS without ONE SINGLE PROBLEM then ever since espoma switched it's soil from a Canada to NJ source (2019) EVERY SINGLE CROP has failed no matter which soils, nutes, lights, watering schedules, whatever I use.
And they always fail in almost the exact same way.
All the leaves just burn right off the middle of the plant up. Where ever the light is hitting a leaf, that leaf will eventually die. It's only a matter of time.
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!?
For four years straight I have been suffering continuous low to mid grade pain all day all night because these atrocious plants, that produced NO PROBLEM for TEN YEARS keep dying on me before I can get them to complete a flower cycle.
While I am in a legal state, dispensary weed does not work for my pain condition. I have a pet theory that dispensary weed is fake weed because it doesn't even get me "high". Like nothing, not even dry mouth when I medicate with an entire eighth in one sitting (the label says there's like 25 percent THC in it...yeah right total bs).
I think what I have here is that HDLV dudding virus disease. It must be. There's nothing else left. It's not nutes, it's not water, it's not light, it's not temperature, it's not ventilation, it's not soil, it's not genetics because one I started from seed last time capped out in the EXACT SAME WAY.
This virus just attacks leaves on the top and middle of the plant. When I harvest, the top half of the plant is on death's doorstep and the bottom half is just lush and green, no problems. Of course there's no viable flower down there either!
Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I cannot stop this, but is there any way to slow it down at least enough so I can keep the plants alive until day 30 or 40 so I can at least get a tiny SMIDGEN of relief (ie medicine)?
Thanks in advance.
