Hey guys - I know it's quiet around forums these days, but I just wanted to share some of the recent work/hunts I've been doing. Almost 2 years ago I seeded up my mother library with a Headbanger male (Karma Genetics). I had selected him months earlier for his awesome branching and strong stem rub. In the tent were female Rest in Peace (CSI:Humboldt), Le Mans (Swamp Boys), Race Fuel (Archive Seeds), Crazy Hazy (Archive Seeds), Headbanger (Karma), Grease Monkey (Exotic Genetix), Chem 4 x Chem D (CSI:Humboldt), GG4 x Chem D (CSI:Humboldt), and a few others. The goal was just preservation, as I needed to clear my mother room. I hadn't planned to sell any of them. However, after running through the progeny of a few of the crosses I've actually had a few people reach out to grab some and so some are already on the their across the world (pretty awesome). The standout cross I've tested so far was the Rest in Peace x Headbanger (now named Slayer). Slayer is a combination of OG Kush (Ghost OG cut), Chem 91 (SkunkVA cut) and Sour Diesel lineage. I ran through an initial batch and then immediately popped more after flowering them out. Phenotypes range from sour grapefruit and creamy citrus to fuel-forward danker types. Here are some of the finds: I also tested out a few others, but the other other stand out was the GG4 x Chem D (also known as G4D) crossed to the Headbanger. The resulting strain was dubbed GHB, which started out as just a label on my pot, but when smoking her - it also fits the effects. There are some really funky old school chemmy phenotypes in this one. Finally, I also tested some of my Strawberry Fuel. A cross between my Strawberries & Cream cut (currently being run in production by Bushman Jay through Amadeadly/Creme) and Race Fuel (a primarily OG Kush strain by Archive Seeds). I found some real killer stuff in here. I've kept a few cuts around to work with some more. I kept the #3 which was nothing but frosty dank fuel (thanks Race Fuel) and then a sweet fruity variety that turns the terps in Strawberries & Cream up 200%. A few of these are currently available on Biltong and Budz, but with B&B shutting down at the end of this month - I've been setting up Seed Stash for sales to start soon.

Holy bumps... I saw this pop up now and just wanted to share some thoughts because I actually encountered the same exact problem a couple of years ago and I was losing my mind over it. I chatted quite extensively with Bushman Jay about it and got some tips to clean up the mother library but I was never able to get them clean. Eventually, I tossed my entire mother library (years of collecting) and started from scratch - but that resolved all my problems. I haven't had the problem again since, so I do believe it is a pathogen. It seems closest to fussarium, if not fussarium itself. And the process tended to follow: -> Take Clone Off Visibly Healthy Mother -> Cut looks good in the dome until day 3 or 4 -> Stems start to rot and tops begin to brown -> Clones become mushy and collapse A similar effect can occur when there isn't enough light in the cloning area, and then the plant starts to brown and die from the top. But the aggressive symptoms in the OP's post makes me pretty confident the issue lay with the mother stock.
