Thanks man, but its not a PH problem. We have 3 different PH meter's that are all calibrated at least once per week. Our PH is dead on.

Not all fungus turns black. There are hundreds of different kinds of fungi.

Right now there between 65-70. During that cold peak, they dropped down to about 58-60.

Any update?

Yes sir!!



So last night we threw in a sulfur burner and set the ventilation and fans to turn off while the sulfur burned for 4 hours during the night cycle. We're going to repeat this step one more time tonight, just to make sure that we covered every centimeter of our room.

Then tomorrow we're going to flush all of our reservoirs and start with fresh nutes.

Once we get everything flushed, we'll be adding a batch of 10 healthy teens into our third system.

We bought Safer Brand 3-in-1 spray, that has sulfur inside of it, to keep the PH of the leaves at unlivable levels for fungus. We'll be maintain things with that spray. Then maybe about once per week, we'll be doing a sulfur burn.

We'll also be installing a new filter on our intake, one that will better filter out fungi and other bacteria.

After that... all we can really do is sit with our fingers crossed.

eagle 20 works on rust if you can get it. I wouldn't spray it after week 1 of flower. Bayer disease control is basically the same thing but a different brand. 2ml a gallon on the eagle 20, 10 ml a gallon on the bayer. These 2 are really the only things that work well everything else is just a bandaid.

Thanks man... The sulfur burner we've been using seems to be working great. We brought new plants into the grow room the other day and put them on the same system as the infected ones and they havent caught it. Still growing strong. So the sulfur burner seems to be doing the trick.

We also bought Safer 3-in-1 spray, which also has sulfur in it and things look to be going in a much more positive direction.

Congrates!

Thanks a lot. We're not all the way out of the woods yet though. The plants are still a little weird. We're getting new growth like crazy, but its all a little deformed.

Well... that looked to be the problem. Rust Fungus... if you want to get rid of it... buy or make your own sulfur burner. We tried about 4-5 different Fungicide sprays and all they did was seem to make it worse because it added moisture to something that thrives on moisture. Sulfur burners surround your plants with a dry smokey vapor of sulfur that kills and prevent fungus, while also eliminating most bugs. Get rid of all of those sprays and get a sulfur burner.

So off to our other project. We'll post pictures of our plants recovery as they get further along. But our new project is that we're going to be doing some breeding. We have 50 seeds below of 5-8 different strains. All regular seeds, so well doing a male selection and then finding the perfect females to breed them with. Its gonna be some fun.

Old thread but just curious if you have anymore to add 2 yrs later. Did it stop it totally as long as you burned once a wk? I am learning as i go and just did my first 4hr burn in a 20x30x10ft greenhouse. I need to make a mother decision and if you can help thank you.
