Wadup guys, so i have this strange growth happening on a few of my bigger plants. seems to have haulted growth and just been getting a wrinkled curly growth on the newer growth of the plant. My best bet right now is a fungus. Let me know some info of any similar experience, i will appreciate it. The strains are Bubba Kush and GDP, they dont even look like it anymore.

Never seen fungus that happens like that.... that looks more like a possible virus....
Are these plants indoors or out?
Just recently a guy had tobbacco mosaic virus, started on newer growth and it looked just like yours, always happened with the newer leaves, because once the virus hits; it goes after the prone and you start seeing it in newer growths, because the root system in newer leaves are weaker than the ones that have bigger leaves.....

I need much more info about your grow.....

Here is the thread I was refearing too....

This guy, wandering roman showed a lot of great pictures of the tobbacco mosaic virus infected plants all at various stages of problem from the thread I just posted above and here is the link to the sticky that he had made as well.

fucking aphids man.... and goddamn - fuck fox farms
i think they're the source of lots of folks aphids woes.

none of my opinion is science based, but ive unfortunately experienced that same fucking shit. goddamnit. i'm not sure if its from tmv or from the aphids or a combo of both as the aphids make the plants really really weak and susceptible/prone to bad shit happening... but the more and more i think about it the more im thinking its a result of the aphids triggering/compounding something (whether its a virus or something else).

those images are showing exactly what my grape romulan mom plant started doing & looking like right after i had my little creepy crawler friends.

fuck... those plants with the funky growth - id chuck them. I hope they are not mother plants but if they are... man... chuck 'em anyway.

the chem d is fine though - just plugging along? thats the really wierd part that will cause much head scratching... its like some plants can "take it" and some plants just,,,, they just succumb.

shit....

Over-fertilization my friend, at least thats what I think. Its possible that the soil is getting "sour". Usually at a month or so, its common for a nute build-up to occur, and start causing symptoms. You can avoid these "sour" stages once you dial your nute regime or method, and normally it means cutting back on feeds and stretching the feeding over a longer period of time.

Solution, lay off any feeding for awhile, make sure the pots dry respectively between waterings, re-arrange plants, make sure your air circulation is adequate but gentle, mist 2-3 times a week, if you think its a humidity issue, no direct fanning.

I notice you are only watering every 5 days...that is too long in 3 gal pots-- Also I noticed your partner used MG...maybe he did it more than once--
Seems like a combination of Overwatering (due to pots staying wet too long), possible pH issues, and possible Nitrogen Toxicity--:tiphat:
This is my opinion...but I would pay special attention to what Stitch says...she is the (wo)Man!! :)

this "clawing" is the leafs way of trying to suck up more water.

low humidity causes the plant to feel like someone is steping on it... causing ti to do wierd stuff like that.

Looked like nitrogen toxicity as well as a need for cal/mag to me.
