Is this the HEMP WITCHES BROOM VIRUS?

[Captain Sternn]

Sorry to see this happen bro. I did think it was kinda nifty how quickly your problem got isolated even if the outcome blows. I don't know jack but thought I would offer, if you get starts from that guy again better quarantine them ? And also wanted to ask, is there some way you can disinfect your soil, ffs Happy Frog costs a fortune hate to see you lose your plants, your time, and your soil.

I would do a sulfur burn in your room, and or do a sulfur (micronized wettable sulfur) dunks.

Oh, and a nice liver punch to your asshat buddy! Maybe it deserves 2 or 3 punches.

@BH do you have any insight for

Very dry and crispy. Leathery . Then the small dwarfed leaves die and fall off. I'm at a loss .

Dang mang, feel for ya. Good luck on the mitey murder spree. 👊👊👊

To me that says hemp russet mite, or some other pest but can't rule ot pathogen. Were it me I'd start with a good cleaning and scope/screening.

That was my initial guess as well from the pics.

Followed @BH advice and killed the whole tent . I was gonna try to keep a few healthy looking ones but the risk just ain't worth it . I ain't fighting with bugs I can't even see . Gonna drop a shit load of seeds upstairs and clean the living shit outta everything while they get started . I got 5 finishing up in flower tent then I'm gonna shut it down about a week and clean the shit outta it too.

I can't say thank you enough to everyone for caring , their knowledge , love , and support . You are appreciated . I have a bunch Cannaventure beans to pop and my friend gifted me some beans today . Also supposed to have a chem D cut on the way that was ordered over 2 weeks ago .

 

[Captain Sternn]

Are you throwing out your soil, or treating it somehow ?

Could bake it in the oven. That'll sterilize it, but I feel ya on the tossing it part.

I could give that a shot , when the wife ain't home . She would probably assault me

That's what I said when someone suggested I wash my smart pots in the washing machine.

Had a good free oven I thought about taking home just for use in the garage for such purposes. Lol. Was going to make the plug able to go into my welder outlet. Lol.
Having the room for it was my issue. 🤷

I left the old hookups for the Laundry in the basement when I moved it all upstairs. Be easy enough to find a old free washer I could use for nasty stuff. Lol, again the having room part issue. 🤣

@sleazyB I'm able to fit the 20 gallon smart pot folded up into a pressure cooker with the metal basket at the bottom, water filled to the basket. presoak the fabric pot. If the fabric pot has a lot of calcium buildup you can use a little bit of vinegar in the presoak. 20 minutes on high pressure is probably overkill but even a pathogen cant survive that. PP can be PC'd since Non-woven polypropylene melts at 327F, and a pressure cooker gets around 250F. Wherever you do this will smell like vinegar and whatever your smart pots smell like x10

Solarize your soil if you don't want to haul/throw it out. Nothing lives in solarized soil.

For fabric pots I drop them in a can filled with water and weigh them down. After a week, I toss in some soap, stir violently and hang. Right in front of a good rainstorm works good. Not anything living after a week under water.

It’s just for sop to resolve and prevent these pest it’s not really worth the effort and imo not needed to do this to ur medium or pots. Leave no plants and leave the pots and medium in grow room for 2 weeks. The bugs u had issues with will leave for most parts. Key is to teat ur next rounds as “infected” and spray every 3-7 days.

If it was root aphids sure
