Seeing some odd splotching on the leaves of the sick plant

Any ideas what this could be?

I’m not really sure but I think it’s Leaf Septoria.

Thank you, the greenish colour on some of the spots was throwing me off. It does look necrotic in the center of the spots I’m going to take a look at them under a usb scope

I would remove the leaves that are infected and if growing in soil I would use neem oil on the soil or a copper diammonia diacetate complex spray on the soil.

I’ll take another look to make sure I got them all, it’s a hydroponic grow. The plant beside it is still healthy but the one with the leaf spots ive been having some problems with this week. Here are the usb scope pictures some are top of leaf and a few of the bottom from various stages

I’m fairly certain the little dots are trichrome heads

Got some of the freezer cleaned out and made a little over a z of bubble roughly half 25-73 micron and half 73-160. Pressed the bubble and some dry sift I had laying around with a friend into hash rosin

Got the hash rosin into a jar and will make it into carts when I get some more free time. There’s still a bunch of material left in the freezer as well. My friend also gifted me some old heated plates so I’m going to get a press for them sometime

Man looking sweet! Could you help me understand carts a little better? Ive been thinking about making some. Never did that before. I need to learn a bit. Im going to try and make some after i gather the equipment and supplies and try my hand at making some. Ive been looking at 2 presses a rosineer or a Nugsmasher. Ive been watching a lot of pressing videos and im kinda leaning towards the automated Nugsmasher.

I have the Nugsmasher X, I like it a lot, however they discontinued it. They make great presses and have a great warranty also. I get my cart supplies from Glass760.

Ive only made them twice before this but I used this guide and they came out pretty decent.

I need to work on getting the colour lighter though. They were pretty dark from oxygenation mostly from air drying the bubble but they smoked really well.

The sticking a jar in an oven part seemed pretty sketchy since it puts the jar under pressure but everything worked out well. I did find my oven temp fluctuated a bit from the set point but you can monitor the jar with a infrared thermometer. The first set I didn’t use the thermometer I just went off watching the bubbles.

Filling them is probably the hardest part since everything’s tiny and the hash rosin was still super thick so it was difficult to get it into glass syringes to put into the carts.

Presses themselves I actually don’t know that much about, I’ve only used my friends setup. I will be grabbing a press for the plates he gifted me though

If you’re using mason jars, you shouldn’t be tightening the lid down. You should just snug it as if you were going to be canning. let’s pressure out but not suck any air back in when it cools. :+1:t3::v:t3:

My friend gave me one of the newer Ac inf 69 controllers so I have that plus the 3 new govees and 2 the older govees. Everythings calibrated now so I have a bunch of fail safes if one starts to drift I can catch it earlier and calibrate.

The sick plant hasn’t started to bounce back at all yet, I tried lowering the ec and ppfd as well as fixing the RH sensor problem. The plant beside it is still healthy. The sick plant is also developing the same trunk and branch base damage that happened to one of the deleted scene seeds approx 7 runs ago. It presented very similarly minus the green spots but was before I started higher ppfd and was using different nutrients.

Oddly enough the sick plant this run is from the same pack as the sick plant 7 runs ago. I’ve also gotten a healthy mothers from the pack. The problem also presented around the same time during flowering both times.

Last time it happened I thought it was due to the plant floating around when it was young causing some damage or a problem with the hypochlorous but this round the plant hasn’t floated around and I have test strips to verify the ppm of the hypochlorous

I culled the sick plant and cut it open, the infection spread into the trunk and branches. The center of the trunk was starting to turn brown and cut off the nutrient flow to the rear of the plant. The branches were also extremely hollow from the second or third node up to the colas like the other plant that got sick about a year and a half ago.

I’m not sure if it’s just coincidence that they both got the same infection and didn’t spread it to the plant beside it or if it’s got something to do with the pack of seeds. Maybe a genetic weakness to the pathogen or its inherited and handed down from the parent to a percentage of the offspring. I’m not sure if the hollow stems are just coincidence as well or if they’re somehow related either a nutrient type imbalance causing it to become hollow leading to easier infections or if it was infected early on or started with it causing it to grow hollow.

Posts 220-240 area of this thread was the first time it happened

This last poc may be like a start of stem rot also the grayish dark looking spot is suspect to me but it also resembles leaf septoria also. @TheMadFlascher will tell ya he is a genius

@treetrunks,

I this another hydro plant?
Like before, you can examine the roots…if they’re healthy the infection started at the crown of the plant. There are a variety of ā€˜damping off’ fungi that can infect the crown.

Since I’m reasonably sure your using hypochlorous acid in your system, these fungi will usually gain entry just above the water line. Here there are very humid conditions but that area is not exposed to the nutrient solution.

Sometimes in can gain entry through a small abrasion to the tissue, but the fungi can penetrate the tissue without a wound if it establishes a colony with the passing of time…

@TheMadFlascher Yes it was another hydro plant, the roots looked alot healthier than the inside of the trunk did.

It doesn’t spread to other plants on the same system and infected plants came from the same pack of seeds which makes me wonder if it was passed down from the parents or a genetic weakness to the pathogen. The stems were extremely hollow in both plants starting from the 2-3 node to the colas tips but I’m not sure if it’s related just something I’ve only seen on the two that got sick.

If anyone’s in Canada with an IG account I’m giving away an IBS-TH3 WiFi Digital Thermometer Hygrometer with inkbird this week
