need help with a systemic fungi that does not effect the roots but fills up stems and branches (that used to be hollow) with a white substance making plants nutrient deficant and eventually will come out the top of buds if untreated but i cant seem to kill it only slow it down with hydrogen peroxide,alliette,and other systemic treatments, third grow same problem all with new moms!! no photos yet too young to show but i can see it under magnification. Anyone with knowledge of this shit?

Get yourself some ridomil Gold sl. It's expensive but is a systemic fungicide and should fix you up if it's a fungus that is the problem, or pyhtium or furisium.

I bought a new sprayer last fall so i'll be hitting the entire yard with that stuff this year. Most of the problems I have seem to come from the dead vegetation in the area. (Blight and molds) My garden was destroyed by bugs and blight I didn't get any apples or plumbs.

That sucks, when I lived back east I used to have mold and blight issues on my tomatoes mainly. The weather out there is perfect for those issues, especially the rain that is almost certain mid September. That sprayer is bad ass! I need to get one of those, looks like you can do 20x the work in 1/4 of the time!

I think if I remember correctly pythium Blight is mostly found on turf grasses but I can't verify my memory. I have had tomatoes, cucumber, pumpkin and some herbs get bacterial wilt wich is a bacterial infection that blocks the inside of stems with it's exudate. There are a whole bunch of other diseases that cause similar symptoms and its never good. I'm just not so sure if it infects cannabis but I don't see why not. Fire Blight has destroyed many fields of cannabis in India so just because I've never personally seen it in my world doesn't mean that it's not possible. With Cannabis being more accepted and grown more often in now even more places, we may see these "outdoor crop diseases" more frequently and ruining our indoor grows. Poor sanitation, bad genetics/weak plants , over ran genetics ect. This is why (just a guess and opinion only) that we are starting to see some really weird shit.

Sounds like you may have powdery mildew. Google pics of PM and let us know if it looks like what your dealing with.

No its not PM as theres no mildew visable on outside of leaves or stems, it grows inside stems as very white fluffy mould where its usually hollow, thats how i found out (saw when harvesting) wat was goin wrong wth sickly plants i couldnt diagnose correctly as symtoms show up as nutrient defic startng wth calcium defic first but had been fed correctly, i think they cant uptake nutrients properly wth this problem??
