I'm just about to give up......

My last grow ended in disaster. By the time I got the fungus gnat infestation under control, my stock had been destroyed. I assume it was a fungus; the leaves spotting, yellowing and dying and the roots, at finish, were brown and withered, not mushy. The cuttings I took from those plants all failed, all 80 of them, every one the same, curled tips and yellowed leaves. There was something that smelled in those domes that I had never smelled before. Rotting, maybe?

Needless to say, I scrapped the whole lot and started anew.
Three weeks into flower and it's like deja-vu; spots on the leaves, yellowing and dying from the bottom up. I've read until I can't read any more, deducing that I've under-fed the ladies or I've over-fed the ladies or I have a pH problem or that they're root-bound or this or that....

I did have a few gnats coming in and out, figured they were camping out in the houseplants so I Bti'd everything in the house with each watering until no more gnats, the little fuckers.

Otherwise, I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forrest (with which I experienced a bit of nute burn on my seedlings) and adjusting my nute solution to 6.8, feeding 1/4 suggested Alaska Morbloom every other water with one big flush at about three weeks into flowering. Runoff has never been out of range. Under 24 hours of florescent light, they were beautiful. Switched to 12/12 250W HPS, each is turning to shit the same way.

In a hurry, I took cuttings and flowered the mothers right away, not waiting for the cuttings to root. Now, they're failing in the same way I had experienced before, yellowing with ram's horns and that smell (what is it?!). They are ten days old and have been in a humidity dome near 80% humidity, 75-85 degrees F and have had a 65W CFL close enough to keep the temps up and steady. I have lost a few to damping off, they just fell over, but the rest look like they are dying a slow, painful death.

Until my last fail, I had a running 95% success rate with cloning. Now I can't get *one* to root. What am I to do?!?! Is all hope lost?!

Thanks!
