Pest problem or nutrient?

Amateur-Grower · May 2, 2023

I started noticing fan leaves with holes or torn and figured I had a bug problem. I've been spraying Captain Jack's Deadbug for about a week now and defoliated a bunch of leaves . I'm also in week 2 of flower and still find damage leaves shown in the pictures below. Not sure if I'm still dealing with pests or something is wrong nutrient wise. I am currently using Jack's 321.

I’m betting that’s damage from the spray.

hey man I'm burly on my first grow and I don't use jacks but in your third picture your plants stem looks straight purple! doesn't that mean you have phosphorous deficiency or Magnesium deficiencies? I got this tip from royal queen seeds website. they also say it can just be that your genetics make your stems red or purple lol. if I was you I would add some cal mag into the mix just 2 make sure.

I thought that might be an issue as well. I have my lights setup to where they shut off while I'm sleeping and since they are in flower I don't want to mess up the 12/12 schedule so I would spray when the lights are on. I stopped spraying a few days ago and it seems like I haven't done any permanent damage luckily. I defoliated the back left plant today, that's why she is looking a little rough.

I noticed that as well lol. I'm thinking it might be the genetics though cause the website I bought it from the picture of the buds was covered in purple.

Your plants look healthy. I don’t see any deficiencies. Red leaf stems don’t mean much, red/ purple main stem and branches is a bad sign.

I would not spray anything unless I had confirmation of the dead pest in hand first. I always keep a yellow sticky paper hanging in the tent, they should catch any pests before you are likely to see them, and hopefully before they get out of hand.
