Finally figured it out for anyone wondering, I had a mite outbreak. Had to of been from going outside and coming back to my grow room before cleaning up but after destroying about 7 to 8 plants and treating 3 others I finally got them. There was no hope for my flowering plants because I had to break out the Neem oil. Even that alone wasn't enough though they was resilient. I tried hydrogen peroxide solutions that done nothing but pissed them off and burned my plant a little also dish soap and water that kinda helped but they came back with a vengeance so I had to take a little trip to the store to get Neem oil. At first I bought Neem oil concentrate which helped a little but did not kill them like I thought it would. After 2 treatments with that I went back to the store this time buying cold pressed Neem oil that is actually Neem oil. The concentrate was something else even though it says Neem oil concentrate it did not have the main ingredient in Neem oil so I got the real thing. I haven't used that yet so maybe the concentrate was working but the second time I went I also bought insecticide soap and that my friends is what has stopped them dead in their tracks! Can't speak for certain yet but I do believe they are gone. Mind you the plants getting treated are all in veg so that is the only reason I didn't toss them. After numerous remedy's I found that the soap is best if you have a current infestation but Neem oil and Neem oil concentrate does help but smells horrible!. Also not supposed to get it on skin which is hard since you gotta spray it literally everywhere. Finally my plants will stop getting chomped on and infected spots showing up. also finally I can set my big flower tent back up. Also I was bleaching everything outside my tent as even tried using non chemical cleaners on the inside which was citrus based. I'm a few hours I'll know for sure if they are truly gone but I believe they are. I have dealt with these fuckers for atleast a solid month and only now getting them under control hopefully this helps someone else to get it under control sooner. I don't think using any of these methods are safe with flowering plants in my opinion but I currently have none at the moment but any questions feel free to holler at me

Everything was going good as normal until my power went out for a few hours. Ever since then I had to deal with bud rot for the first time and now this crap lol. I plan on switching out my fans and soon getting a second blower and carbon filter and run it in the tent instead of out and hopefully that will fix it.

Sounds good bro thanks for the reply. Been ripping my room apart and bleaching for days now. I even tossed my old flower tent. Luckily I have a new one but want to make sure e have it under control before putting it up. I have a 400 dollar dehumidifier I use constantly as well as exhaust and carbon filter and a fan. My veg tent is all that is up right now but just had to pull 3 more plants from it after cleaning inside. I guess I didn't clean good enough. My lights are spiderfarmer se5000 for flower and spiderfarmer 1000 for veg. I just recently turned my exhaust all the way up and thinking about switching my small fan in my veg tent for the bigger one I had in the flower tent. Hopefully that will do it..

Fungus like all life require a few things, air, moisture, warmth. Hmm don't be disheartened brother, 90% of growing problems come from environmental conditions. You may want to consider watching Bruce bugbees videos you can find on YouTube these are lecture grade and there is one specifically covers the 9 cardinal rules of plant growth. Stagnation is your enemy. Best solution to fungus imo is UV that's going to set you back a few 100 though. (Solacure) Going forward look to have your grow environment with a negative pressure. Keep the humidity below 50rh. There is no solution that won't cost money and time. Msg me if you would like help with information to get your environment set up I'd be glad to help.
