Hay dude

Please take a look at this pic of one of my leaves.
u can just about see them on the pic

it has very small spots on the leafs ????

i know what over feeding looks like with the yellow spot but these are different.

If you can shed any light on this would be great


thanks

They're mites dude.. Not a good sign. Use some insect repellant spray. Don't spray very much, but enough so your plant looks a little damp. Try not to hit any buds. Shake off your plant without breaking the stem, Do it gently. It's happened to me 3 times now.. Poke them with a stick and watch them scurry.. lol.

Borrowed from another RIUpper, I'm gonna try this next time I need to deal w/insect pests.

Take a misting water bottle that has the trigger on it.
  • Cover just the bottom of the bottle with dish soap (I use the orange anti-bacterial kind)
  • Fill 3/4 with just tap water
  • fill remaining 1/4 with white vinegar
  • shake gently, not too much though or you will have lots of bubbles, lol
  • spray all over your plants, under the leaves and the top of the soil unitl a light coating is on there (don't get it sopping wet)
  • leave on at least a few hours or over night
  • spray off all the plant ( I do this with clean water in the spray bottle)
  • bugs gone, shiny leaves.

I don't know that vinegar diluted such would dissolve much of anything? Like I said, I'm gonna try it, should I need to.

mites only come when the plant is in its flowering cycle or just before it starts flowering

this statement is incorrect

mites are always looking to suck the life out of your plant

always be on your guard

i've had a real close look and i dont think there mites as they dont move at all - they look like little dead bits which you cant srape off.

but it has spread more over the plant - hay any one seen over feeding doing this dsort of this ????
