Possible deficiency could do with a hand

Hello all!

so ive been growing for a few years now and have decided to try adding a couple extra items to my feed.

I used to just used canna a+b with coco plus and the odd bit of pk13/14.

i am pretty much following cannas guide to a t for coco and their range, but i know all strains are different and thats just a starting point.

2) Growing indoor
3) Watering schedule - Daily feeds 2 with nutes then one just ph water +molasses and great white rhizo and zyme
4) Growing Medium Coco plus
5) What stage of growth 16 days into flower

PH 5.8-6 range
EC is 19

I wanted to experiment with a few extra things so i have added


Blackstrap molasses unsulfered
Rhizotonic
Cannazyme
Canna boost accelerator
Great white
Mykos

Everythings going well really they look nice temps stable around 25-27 with fan controller but some marks have appeared on the leaves that are concerning, also the plants directly under the light are slightly pale compared to the ones outside of the light as you can see in the photos

some gold shiney markings have appeared please see photos. From having a look around i thought it might be a calcium deficiency but im just not sure.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks!

Looks like mite or thrip damage. Have checked them closely for bugs?

Have to agree.. white spots usually mean bug bites!

I can confirm it is thrips, found a little bugger.

Any advice on treatment? I have something that will get rid of them. Can't remember the name but I think it's pretty harsh and don't like using it as it's not exactly legal to purchase so it can't be good. Comes in a silver bottle with no label at all.

Something with spinosad works well if you can get it where you live and its organic.

Monterey Spinosad Garden Insect Spray

Bought 25 sachets of these as I saw the website mentioned around here before. Hoping they do the job ^_^

Guys i just don't know about this problem no more, they're all getting worse daily and I can't find a single thrip.

When I said I found one it was on a cactus someone gave me that I had just introduced into the room and I assumed it was a thrip as the damage looks consistent.

There's 24 plants in there and they're all getting hammered by something. Surely if it was thrips they'd be all over and easy to find? I've had a good 15 minute look 3 times now and nothing.

Some more photos provided i case anyone else has any ideas?

Many thanks

I finally got lucky and found something! I don't know what it is.

Don't think it's spider more and not sure about thrips? Any ideas?

It looks like a thrip. Put your plant over something dark colored and shake it. When they fall out you'll be able to see them better. Adults can fly, but not very well. The larva can't they hide in the veins of the leaf, they're almost the same color it can make them hard to see.

You're a star krypto, thanks for the help

How did those Amblyseius bugs end up working out for you, packs of pirate bugs will eat those suckers alive too.

I've not had any dispatch email, rang the company a few times to try get a time as I don't want to be waiting around watching my plants die. All I got was answer phone

Yesterday I had enough and got the spray out

Went for plant vitality plus. Not very happy about it
