Nematodes are microscopic roundworms that cause disease-like symptoms. Stem nematodes feed on stems and cause shortening of internodes. Root nematodes feed underground, damaging the root system; this leads to moisture and nutrient stress which shows up as wilting and stunting. Foliar nematodes cause angular leaf spots. or
sucking insect feeds on plant fluids and injects toxins into the plant. The toxins can cause leaf spotting or stippling (aphids, leafhoppers, spider mites, other bugs), leaf distortion such as curling or puckering (or more commonly this can be damage from leafhoppers
rapid change from low light to high light intensity, or vice versa, can cause yellowing of leaves, reduced growth, and leaf drop or death.
Too little light can reduce, delay, or prevent flowering. and thrips), or poisoning of entire plants, resulting in stunted growth and/or yellowing

Nutrient deficiencies show up as yellowing, stunting, or death of older plant leaves or new growth, depending on the missing nutrients



i hope this helps as only you know whats has been done to the plant intensionaly or unintensionaly so best of luck and i will pray with
here is the fert im using once every ten days in put one tablespoon per gallon ater my ph level is at the norm. 6.7 The plant was stuted i can tell now because the leaves were small and now enlarging seems to me im ok for now i have a rotine so im going to stick with for now.i belive i over water it also. have you ever use worms to detect your soil for dryness do you think its sufficent enough to say it work thanks for the great advise and will be looking for you to response to my future threads. oh here's the fert i use just for flowering though now i only use the the triple phosphate only once at the beginning then i feed with the super bloom as i describe above.
