I need some advise here peeps. This is something i have never experienced before popping beans. Is this septoria ? Info : i germinated and popped these beans same as i always have. They are a bit leggy and thats my fault. I have never run this cultivar before so i started w lights higher up than i normally do. No problem. Had 100% germ rate and off to the races, or so i thought. These were potted in fresh ( brand new bag ) of happy frog soil. Everything started as normal but i started getting super tiny brown spots that grew into a mass of dry crustiness. First one plant, then two, and now all four. Just today i frantically decided to treat them w SAF fungicide. I soil drenched ( hence the wet soil ) plus foliar sprayed. 15ml/gallon. Sprayed both the foliage as well as the soil. So today was my first attempt at saving these plants. Soooo, am i on the right track w my diagnosis ? To ask further, if this is in fact septoria, where did it come from ? Before starting this run, my entire tent was bleached out, super clean. I’m reeling right now as i have never experienced this before. I’ve been growing about ten yrs now, not a total noob. Please, someone help me out here. Are these plants salvageable ? What’s most bumming, is these beans came from a super reputable chucker here. I will be crushed if I can’t figure this out. TIA

No that is not septoria/leaf spot. It looks like starting of calcium deficiency or water droplet burns (looks like taht more than c deficiency) when u were drenching aka watering plant and had water/feed hit the leaf and then the liquid acted like a magnifier and the light burned it .

Inless it was a cutting taken from an infected outdoor plant like pm and many diseases , I’ve never seen an indoor exp seedling have leaf septoria .

Using SABF is a great defense for such diseases and even root zone as well, great tool and def suggest u keep using it , I know the feeling thou when u see such things and u love ur plants


 
Thanks for the reply. Let me rule one thing out. This damage is not from water on foliage. Foliage has been bone dry from the get. These leaves got brown crispy dry, quick like. And as i mentioned before, it was one plant first, then two, and now all four. I used to run my own soil ( pro mix ammended w Gia ) but last yr tried HF w incredible results. That fresh soil should have plenty in it to get off to the races. I’m also on city water and not ph’ing my water. Never do. I’m freaking out here not knowing what to do. I guess a day or two and i’ll know if this grow is shot or has a chance for survival. I am sooo bummed. I have never run this strain before and always wanted to. Finally snagged some beans and now this. I’m stumped
 
Why not up pot then with a different organic soil? I had a few episodes where the soil was not mixed well, or they blew their amendment ratios.
After the third encounter in 2 years, I started batching my own organic super soil. I've not changed my recipe much but when I do, I only change 1 item per batch, and I keep it documented.

That may be the easiest and safest thing to try. Good luck 🤞

I up pot for any and all deficency issues when possible. It feels like a cheat code.

Im not a soil guy, but looking at the pics provided I would suggest that maybe your pH is off considerably and causing nutrient uptake issues (noted on the older vegetation on the plants being affected and going necrotic first). Its obviously something that all 4 plants have in common (which could be the lack of pH control in the soil). I'd start with checking pH of the runoff first since its easy and very low cost or even free to test. What you -dont- want to do is try multiple remedies all at once before you know what your issue is. This can compound the issue and you'll never know what it was that helped/hurt the situation. Keep us posted @Honyuk96
 
Feed your plants, happy frog has half the nutrient load as say ocean Forrest.

I would personally toodress with an all in one fry fert. Something like Gaia green, or happy frog veg granular or roots uprising. Something with normal NPK and calcium and magnesium as well. Those plants are just hungry
 
If it's on one leaf, pluck it off and keep on trucking. If it comes back on another leaf, then take action.

H2o2 will also kill issues in the root zone...But will also kill any mycos if you have in the soil.

Ive been using ffof since 2008. I've tried others, and I'm still using ffof. It's cheaper than promix and nutes. At least for the first 3-4 weeks of soil before tou need to add nutes.
 
First off, i would like to thank every one of you who chimed in here. Today i took action. I up potted to 1/2 gal pots w fresh Happy Frog soil. Sprinkled some mycorrhiza on the roots as i always do. I also went ahead and top dressed w Gaia, which is what i run. If the Happy Frog fizzles out in two weeks, i’m pre charged to keep on trucking. This is my first time ever running HF, so growing pains are expected. In hindsight, where i believe i went wrong, is i just opened a fresh bag and filled four starter pots. Today i mixed the entire bag before up potting. Perhaps my soil just ran out of juice, and i was not expecting that ! Will throw up some pics next week and see where we are at. Cheers, you guys are awesomeIMG_2171.jpeg
