Can you identify the problem(s) with these plants?
Now before anybody freaks out about it being so obvious: I already know what the problem is.
I have also determined how it happened, and have decided on a solution.
The purpose of this thread is mostly educational, giving new growers the opportunity to diagnose plant problems in a noncritical atmosphere.
Here the problems are already diagnosed and treated. But everybody has an opportunity to decide the problem and suggest a remedy before it is posted here. It is how many of the more experienced growers learned also. It's my version of "The school of hard knocks" except without the lumps.
Below I have posted links to some very helpful charts. If you don't already have them, save a copy for yourself while you're there. I will update with additional charts or pics as the thread progresses.
If you need more info just ask...
Every Positive response will receive +Rep.
Bullshit replies bet the appropriate rep.

Okay I have been working in nurseries for years and always figured that nothing this severe could ever happen in my garden. I mean I have used the same time and generation proven recipe for my plants almost since I started growing indoors.
So to go in and see almost every plant has the same issue, is rather shocking for me.
I studied every plant carefully to confirm the obvious, but it is just impossible... It simply cannot happen following the recipe I have used for years.
But there it is staring me in the face.
It happens to all of us. Nobody is immune and we all learned how to deal with the issues as they were thrown at our plants. So there is no room for arrogance in the garden.
Many, many MANY times I have said: "I wish I had known that 3 days age, I could have saved my plants".
Okay here is the first case:
So here is the setup:
Close up of leaf clump. If you look closely you can still see some of the damage from the mites the Bubba Kush had when I bought her.
