Hi,
You may know me from such posts as "I Need To Save These" or "My ass is grass".
I have this big problem. Iv'e had 5 major runs in a row die. You can read my other posts but have a hanky ready for the tears. No one, including myself and klondike (thank you)has had an answer to what is happening.
My new question is: Does anyone have any insight or information on air toxicity. I've eliminated water, nutes managment, fungus, predators and everything I can think of. I've called the nute manufacturers and all the shops guru's. No dice.

A year ago I let someone store paints , varnishes, Lacquers etc.. In the shop I grow my "medicine" in. There were definitely odors always present. i even found a leaky can of polyurethane. Some stuff was outside the vent intake evaporating fumes in open cans of sawdust. So for sure, there were odors and fumes that i wouldn't even want to live in constant and present. It makes sense that i would have problems. I removed the vapors about a week ago but the plants are still dying like before. Remember i eliminated many potential problems prior. I haven't been able to find anything online that supports that fumes could be my problem. I did read that plants use mg to deal with toxins. I have mg deficient symptoms. In mid bud they start to die. i never get them back. Either by flushing and adding this or that or wtf ever. The symptoms are first spots on leaves, Then intervainal chlorosis, THey can't take any light, Then leaves curl up and die off as the buds stop growing and the hairs turn red. Then they are just dead and i gotta pick them before I only have brown leaves to trim. I have years of growing under my belt and I usually am on the other side of these forums. Weed grows like a weed, I thought. This theory is the only explaination but i can't find support or evidence that it's even possible.
Thanks for checking this out.

So then, I'm going to be the first person with this problem unless i find it's me that's killing the plants. I'm pondering and pondering and but can't seem to find the answer. Like you folk. If you read this thanks for your time.

I have hydro activity but no nutrient activity. Roots look good. Leaves look like crap. I am thinking about adding gh 1+1+1 with full cal mag, fulvic and humic acids. I am running out of time. Does anyone have any other tips to get these plants to absorb nutrients? If I can get another week or three out of them I can almost call it a poor success.

Follow up.
Air Toxicity is real. My crops are back to normal after a year of stress and torture. Do not let your plants breath toxins. If it doesn't kill them it will compromise the quality. Air toxicity resembles Mg deficiency. Mg is used by the plant to help get rid of toxins. If you have Mg deficiency signs and you believe you could have had your plants exposed to air toxins(in my case it was painting supplies) you can try to increase the dose of Mg. It will help but it may be two late. It took my plants over two weeks to show improvement but it was too late. I had a 30% harvest.
Thanks to all who helped me with this even though no one guessed it, and I hope this will help someone in kind. Feels good to be back.
