What is this?

[punkin]

Clones
Outdoors
Moisture plus potting soil mixed with old compost.
Stoped nutes because I thought they may be causing this, water from rain barrell. Used bloom booster when I first noticed buds, but stopped 3-4 weeks ago, not on all parts of plants, some areas not affected. 3 out of 4 clones from same person has this, theirs does too. It just does not look right and it seems to be stunting the buds.

Plants from seeds right beside this has no signs of the darkness.

Advice please, and thank you

The darkness looks like 3rd or 4th gen clones with a recessive mutation. Possible was crossed with purples not too long ago...and this was the reality of bad genetics.

BTW, can't see anything in the pictures to identify this as a nutrient or mold issue. Looks genetic!

Peace,

If this is the case i'm with Martyr here. It couldn't be environmental, and aside from some spotting on the leaves, nothing else to suggest mold or the like.

Crazy man, might be time to find new genetics.

Best of luck.

This is nasty for sure, seems to be killing off in spots or just not developing good buds, some parts of the plant is not affected.

The problem you suggest is very possible, been cloning these forever. Always something to learn...the bag seed plants are nice and healthy, growing just beside them - only the clones from 2 strains are doing this.

Do you think I should cut it out or just leave it alone?

Looks to me like overwatering causing root-rot... (black splotches near/on new growth, chlorosis of entire plant, extreme yellowing of undergrowth) ...and a possible ph issue.

What is the ph of your rainwater? (likely way too acidic)

Are you in-ground or in pots?

[punkin]

in ground not in pots, I'll check the ph. the plants in buckets are not doing anything like this. same water and same frequency. the plants these were cloned from are also doing this at a totally different location.

thank you again.

your pictures aren't all that clear, it looks like some sort off mould but, from what you have said it could be genetics. you should try to get close up clearer pictures and no doubt someone will have the anwser you are looking for.
