Experienced grower here....really lost my green thumb the past few months.

Lost my clone mothers, than some of the plants I had in flower were infested by some kind of bug (thrips I think), now the plants I have left are all stunted, and one of them is throwing banannas left and right and I will probably just cut that down and throw it on the hash pile...

wtf....

have you checked to make sure you haven't gotten broad mites?

Those stupid bugs had me thinking I no longer knew how to properly lime a medium....lol.

I've checked pretty good for more insects and have not found anything other than a few fungus gnats.

sounds like an environmental issue and the lack of proper equipment or insecticides

In terms of equipment Im ok...5x5 secret jardin that is light tight, 1000 watt HPS that is ventialted to my attic, temps are all ok also...lights on im probably about 75-80, lights out probably about 60.

I have no idea whats going on but it is pretty mind-boggling. Im pulling the stunted plants and the one that is throwing bananas tonight...

The one with the bananas is kind of strange also as that is from a strain that I have been growing for several years and has proven to be stable...

I've been there. Just got my first good crop in a while. I'm doing better but hell I've been growing 20+ years.

try to remember if you have added anything new to the growroom, like new tubing, pumps, what you water with, or anything else in your house that might be bringing problems into your grow room. Sometimes certain products can "offgass" if you weren't aware of that already. Also keep double checking those roots with a scope for any bugs like root aphids for example. Have you added any new nutrient/additive, soil, or just anything you can think of? You may even want to replace your t5/HID bulbs and hoods if they are old. Check to make sure all meters are calibrated and working right.

Seems really frustrating, hope you can figure it out.
