Little white spots on leaves

[Biggsy747]

Anyone have any idea what these are? It isn’t spider mites or any bugs?

I’ve just repotted into 7 gallon grow bags 2 days back and recently I may have given them more nutrients than advised (accidentally).

Cheers

I'd check for bugs on the underside of the leaves. Pay particular attention to main stem that runs up the middle of the leaf, they like to hide in that crevice where the stem meets the leaf tissue.

I can’t see anything sinister and have never seen any movement on the plants. Just checked where you said to check… nothing there.

Ok how do I go about treating this? Is there a safe product?

 

[ProPheT 216]

I would use SNS 209

If they were eggs wouldn’t they wipe off? These don’t.

Thrips is what you have. I've had them 3 or 4 times. Pretty easy to get rid of if still in veg.

Spinosad, captain jacks dead bug, dr. Zymes, pyganic, sulfur, lots of options to kill them.

Thrips lay eggs in the leaves so they wouldn't just wipe off.

Sprayed them with neem oil yesterday, I’ll repeat a couple of times over the next week. I can see the little bastards crawling around

[Biggsy747]

It was an experienced grower who said neem oil, 10ml in 250 ml of water, I sprayed them yesterday, underneath the leaves and the top soil, this afternoon I’ve only spotted one of the little bastards so far, if it doesn’t clear up I’ll go harder.

Citric Acid 2tsp per qt water, works well..

Lots of things work well. I only recommend what I recommend because it is what I personally use. I have autoflowers outside in the backyard directly in the soil in the ground. SNS 209 systemically keeps the bugs from infesting my plants
