Fungal / Bacteria infection?

Looks like a botrytis fungal infection. It can affect leaves, stems and flowers (but rot). It also causes the beloved damping off of seedlings.

Yes, you need a fungicide. Theres many fungicides that you can harvest the same day you use them. I would address it so it does not move to the flowers. Botrytis is one of the main causes of bud rot.


Greencure is what I use, but there's many different kinds you can use that will let you harvest the same day.

I would spray all leaves and stems and would avoid the buds unless it started to spread onto them. I stop spraying fungicide 1 week before harvest, but I spray clean water everyday to wash any fungicide buildup off (a rinse). Greencure is really good about not affecting taste (thats why I use it). I use it on my tomatoes as well and harvest the next day. Still taste great. As a matter of fact Potassium bicarbonate (the active ingredient) is used in bottle water, baking goods and is used as a base in foods to regulate pH.

Good stuff.

yes mr relief is correct on your diagnosis. exactly the same issue as in my thread. I did Serenade and im going to hit them tomorrow with Bloom Foliar to inoculate them. I also lowered my humidity to 45%. Maybe ill take a shot at the greencure if i dont see the response i want, but the night after i sprayed them down they had a positive response.

The new pics look like you have it controlled for now. The yellowness around the brown spots isnt showing up anymore. Ill have to try green cure next, if my many different approaches doesn't work.

I can't believe i've never used compost tea before. Ive used some products that are like it but nothing close. If you're not using it now, id go pick up a pre-made batch from your local shop. It should help boost your plants ability to fight back.

Damn!
This is the same thing I've got. My moms, which are 2 years old and have endured everything, are under attack and fading. None of my clones have rooted in the past month, and I didn't know why. Couple of plants have just fallen over and died rapidly after showing brief symptoms. Now I have to act quickly.
Off to the store to find something to fight this. My whole breeding project is in jeopardy.
