hey guys i have 4 plants right now. 3 are flowering but not ready to be picked yet and the other is starting to show signs of flowering. my flowering ones are on a 4 foot step, next to a wall, and behind the step is a lot of other plants. I have seen grasshoppers eating my flowers, cutworms, spiders, and moths. Today i took a close close look at the flowering plants and i think in between the flowers are either cocoons or webs. i lost about 50% of the yield (if you take one stem the lower flowers turned cripsy and brown although the tops are still green). I have started just clipping them off one by one. Should i trim down the plant completely and just start over? should i throw the 3 flowering ones out and just focus on the other one or is there still a chance? i was thinking i could trim the flowering ones and then putting a pvc pipe over it with holes. (someone told me this) HELP please

not sure but it sounds to me like you have spider mites. if you have a hydrofonic shop call them and see if they sell spider mite preditors. thats your only hope if its spider mites. anaconda

. Is this male of female? This is my biggest and strongest.
But in two short days the inner leaves started browning


2. This is my weakest it has gone form bad to worse!
Super brown on bottom with some nice green on top.
plus wtf is that??
Webs?


3. This plant is ok Green on one side brown on the other. The brown side was facing a larger bush of wild plants saw grasshoppers and other critters in the thrush.

Look at my bud i dont even know if its ready?? it looks soo good though help me save these babies! I know for sure that i have the following cutworms, grasshopers, moths, and i think spidermites can i use anything or is it too late? Should i try to trim them in a way that makes them bud again really fast?

That top one is healthier but its right next to my sickest plant (same pot) so i dont know what to do

There are otherproblems that are probably more significant than the bugs...

It looks like you are not using the proper pH water nor have enough light for the size of yor plants...


Water and light are vital and become more significant the taller your plants are.. I did not see any large fan leaves which should be in abundance on such a large plant..

thanks for all the pictures..

cheers

i you have buds on your plants... then it is never safe to spray poisons... IMO..

you need to make sure you are giving them proper pH water... this is vital!

Whoa you have rot and some other issues.....I actually saw some similar problems on a tomato plant nutrient deficiency chart. You can check it out here....

Color Photos of Mineral Deficiencies in Tomato Plants

Recognizing Tomato Problems

Tomato Plant Problems FAQ by Kay Klier

I know that is a lot but to summarize it looks like you do not have enough micro nutrients that build fungicides. You do have pests and those plants are so beautiful....I am so sad looking at that. I believe it can be fixed so no worries.

My best guesses are aphids (lady bugs eat them), boran deficiency - cure: a handful of borax (not boraxo soap!) worked into the soil around each plant , early blight - avoid overhead irrigation, maybe molybdenum deficiency, and those cocoons look like caterpillars maybe....not sure.

You can get some micro nutrient supplements from Down to Earth and bat guano naturally produces a fungicide.....maybe even Earth Juice.....I'm sorry dude that is my best guess from checking out the tomato plants - those are grown outdoors too the same way yours are. Tomatoes and marijuana are in the same pheno category.
