Hi guys,
This is my first post but have been lurking and reading the forums for a long time now.
Recently i came across a problem that so far have been unable to identify.
All started well, 4 seeds germinated and plants grew with no problem, looked bushy and short internodal space.
Wanted to keep 1 as mother and clone it a lot, so because of space the mother ended up in its own tent (The other 3 plants were given away and even thou they are growing under a 150w HPS light in a very cold place (14C) they are doing nice for such shitty conditions).
After about 2 months of lst and topping the mother was bushy and ready and about 10 clones where well on its way.
So that is when the mother plant went to the big tent for flowering.
At the time some leaves were wilting and drying from the tip back but didn't look worrysome, it was attributed to the tent not being very tall and the heat of the lamp dropping too much the RH, no sign of bugs or other.
After about 1 week in flowering lots of yellow leaves and the "Healthy" ones felt filmsy and under the light looked very dark veins and yellowish intervein space.
Looked everywhere on the internet but the symptoms didn't match anything.
Increased the RH of the tent and this seems to have helped a little but the fading kept going on.
2 weeks into flowering and the plant was looking very bad, also the clones in the other tent (in another floor) started showing the same symptoms.
After 1.5 months of Flowering the mother had no green leave and was harvested, what was a nice potential for 12 colas became 12 small bugs and lots of popcorn nugs.
There was no flowering strecht at all, the plant was about 70cm tall in Vegetation, and at the end of flower was about 78cm, and the plant just died on me.
The clones were moved to the flowering tent once the other died, but are still under grow schedule, they show the same symptoms as the mother, but now i can see fungus gnats around the plants and many drowned in the water reservoir used to increase the RH of the tent.
I am at loss, initially I thought the fungus gnat infestation might have killed the mother plant but the gnat larvae is the one that might attack the plant so with this in mind i pulled out the roots of the mother plant and looked at them and at the soil with a microscope, nothing the rootball looks healthy and nice, lots of hair roots etc...
I don’t know what other information to post, so if i missed something or something is not clear please post and i will reply.
If you have any ideas to help they are all welcome, there are ten clones dying that i would like to save....
Here is the grow data for help:
Size or Square Footage of Room =
The mother after last topping (about 1 week after went to flower)
The mother on 1st days of Flower
After 2 weeks flower
The clones in vegetation sowing yellow leaves
A clone showing yellow leaves
