That ought to solve those 300 usd an elbow problems the market was having.Viral infection
An infectious pathogen inside California’s pot farms is attacking cannabis plants and growing invisibly for months only to spoil a crop just as a farmer is ready to harvest. Scientists believe that it’s in nearly every pot farm in the state and could be causing billions of dollars in damages to the national weed economy.
Hop-latent viroid, or HLVd, shrivels pot plants and reduce how much weight they produce by as much as 30%. It also destroys the amount of THC, pot’s most common active compound, that a plant produces, greatly reducing the value of affected plants.
HLVd was first identified at a California pot farm in 2019, and it’s now infected at least 90% of California’s cannabis grows, according to a 2021 estimate. It’s spreading globally, and a recent scientific paper declared the pathogen was the “biggest concern for cannabis” growers worldwide.
Shoots! Noone answered @bruhdakine ...Ok all of you ganja farmers, I need some help.....
What do you think this is. My sprouts are small but growing fast. I left town for the weekend but my wife kept them on the 'weaning to the outdoors' program they are on so everything should be ok but in 3 days one of them has developed a bunch of leaf spotting, has yellowed and it's growth has stopped while the others have kept going.
Is this leaf septoria? Or is is a nutrient deficiency (or burn)? I am watering them every few days, enough to get their soil pretty wet but they have great drainage. I watered on Thursday before I left and again just now and I recently started them on a really small amount of a general nutrient that I have used with much success in the past few seasons. I have never seen this before, especially in such a young plant. If it is septoria, is the solution to spray it with a fungicide?

Most of the others look good:

The little one in the corner is a bit younger than the others.
I do see this one looks like it might also be infected, just not as far along:View attachment 154752
What would you do here? Dump the infected plant? Try to salvage? Fungicide?
Thanks!
No idea what that is, but DEFINITELY separate that from the others.
Did it infect the rest?

Here's hoping nothing 'gets' to these three before the next full moon....
