Fat Red Straw? Alpha Medic OG ?
Long story short, as best as I can tell, I had issues with some T5 bulbs. They started to fry plants, took me a while to realize it as I've never had that happen, but eventually I figured out that was the most likely culprit. Maybe cracked glass and leaking UV light, as the symptoms were a strange burn/leaf frying. That's the only issue I've had in recent years, and fortunately it was limited to an overflow area that was not usually being used.
I had torn down and rebuilt, repainted my closet entirely but it showed the same issues. After having them swing between sickness and health, I realized I was turning on different sides of my 8 bulb T5 and only the center were causing issues. Very frustrating. Anyways, since I stopped using those bulbs, no symptoms and perfect green growth. I know I had Alpha Medic clones in there and that's the my best guess if they did come from me. You had mentioned before that they may have been mixed up with your buddy's clones, did you get that sorted out? Also, what cookies is that?
