Well it seemed to stop uptaking nutes..5 other plants on same nutes 2 are greener then 3 but all are still alive..
I had what looked like a nute deficiency, but it was actually root aphids. Not sure if they came from him or someone else. Root drenched a couple times and they are much healthier now.

Not sure if the same case. Like I said , 5 others ( not shinobi clones )are just fine.
I’m gonna have to send samples out for testing

What did you use for the drench? I had some I presume hitch a ride on a cut (shame on me) and rather than try to salvage I’m just starting over with better genetics this round anyway. But if they occur again I’d like to know what helped. Same issue for me looked over watered or too many nutes but I finally pulled a pot and scoped the roots and sure enough. love and learn. Glad to hear yours are better
Dr Zymes and power si control. I’m not out of the woods yet, but they are looking better.

That dude is cooling out, this might just settle well in the end!

Thx, he had posted on IG an ex girlfriend killed all his stock.

Root aphids or was it soil mites and possibly watering issues affecting the roots?? I have seen this confused hundreds of times.

I could have mis diagnosed. Here is a scoped picture I pulled.

Hard to tell because of the fact that it is white on white although aphids are known to blend in with their surroundings. Do they move decently fast??

Are they fast or slow? Looks like hypoaspis miles to me, usually there won’t be mycelium strands where root aphids are feeding, instead you’ll have discolored stringy roots.

It was under a scope so I can’t really tell speed. Looked super slow to me. Would walk a little. Eat. Little more. I’ve read fast big good, slow bad.

Sorry would these cause the plant to appear as though it has nute issues or something else? Sorry to derail the point of this thread…

That’s it, slow/bad, fast/good. Yes it looks like nute deficiencies. Green root cleaner and soluble sulfur drenches will handle them. Also botaniguard 22 wp with nematodes will persist until they are wiped out. ** use BT cycled in there too!**

Root aphids really barely move. It is more like a shifting on the roots. Or a shuffle sideways. Hypoaspis miles will move all over like they are on a mission. They might seem slow but when it comes to root aphids they are fast. Root aphids maybe take like two or three steps and really only when disturbed. As far as the nute deficiencies. Could be some issues in the soil causing the deficiencies. Could be fungus gnats as well. The hypoaspis miles feed on their larva so they usually come around together.
Like cowboy said though. If it is, get on it. Gave a lot of good methods to hit em with. Always use more than just one. You want to hit them with multiple offenses. Can also do a pyrethrin soil drench.

Unfortunately I just cleared the tent. Long story but didn’t want to chase one problem after another and wasn’t married to the genetics or how I was going about this run. Set me back two months worst case, unless I have this issue again. Do soil mites hitch a ride in the soil sometimes? Otherwise whatever it is came from a cut (why I bring it up here, I scoped the leaves but didn’t soak the Rockwool where they may have been) or I brought it from my vegetable garden. Lesson learned either way but prefer not to ever see these f@ckers again.

While I saw the random gnat, yellow strips showed nothing. I appreciate all the insight you folks are providing me and others!!

Soil mites can come in on a cut or in soil from a store. Some brands like fox farms inoculates their soils with them to eat off any fungus gnat larvae
