Welcome back. What part of Tenn. if you don't mind me asking?

Do I have parasites? ...(the new blade in the center of the pic) ... and I thought this was just the way it was growing because this is the one with the duck foot. These leafs have been like this since they formed. It seems to be getting worse though. I have also found small circular holes in some of my leafs. I have studied my plants and I cant seem to find any parasites (Then again I am not exactly sure what I am looking for)
What do you guys think?

I don't know HBS, but that silvery stuff reminds me of a post I read that indicated thripes.

Are you talking about on the right hand side of the 1st pic? If so, there were some beads of water on those leafs that reflected the bluish flash on my cam.

HBS what type of light do you use?
Where i am going is, i see you have sprayed them. Some times the water drop acts like a magnifying glass and will burn a hole in the leaf. Why you don't see this in plants "outdoors" is because it's cloudy when it rains.
When i have to spray one down, i'll usually put it aside from the rest, let it dry a bit.

I don't remember what light you use. I have done it myself with hps/mh but i can't speak for cfl's and led's.

Hitman is correct about the thrips, you'll see silver steaks, "think motorbike burn out" You will usually se the critters under the leaf. I couldn't see too much in terms of insect damage. Whirled leaves are a normal occurance in cannabis. Even autos. Some times its genes others its from PH swings, ither in your soil or your watered nutrient mix. Nothing i, personally would stress over, unless you are seeing flying critters in the grow space, or spider webs on the ladies.. Then it's time to hit the grow shop for some ammo.

If it means anything i don't spray mine anymore, unless i have some bugs..

I use 85w cfl's.. I just misted in there to check for webbing. I just thought it was strange that there were some messed up leaves on all 4 of my girls. Though it doesn't look like what I have seen with other people's parasite problems so I wasn't sure. It almost looks like my tomato plants outdoors in the summer when I find larvae munching on the leaves.

This is classic. I had a nice laugh at this.. brings back memories.

I liked it when you start talking back to dad about his guns.. lol, after a chuckle, i'd comment some thing like, nice beneli there sir, why didn't you spend $1000 less on a mossberg? Or comment on his press.. Yeah the good old days.
I better not have a daughter, i will get them out and clean them
The small ones... That you need special paperwork to have.. lolol Poor sap indeed.

I wouldn't totaly rule out bugs. I can't look at your ladies like i would mine, since all i get is pics to see. Keep an eye out, if there is some thing munching. There has to be evidence of it, once you see it. Then you can start to go about kiling the bastards.

BH i had gotton the you hurt my daughter speach so many times i pretty much knew who i need to worry about and who was just trying to punk me so i had fun with it. I met a dude one time who didnt think my jokes were funny needless to say girls either find you and there dad beating the shit out of eachother on a first date sexy or your never seeing them again. either way its fun lol

I think I am going to get some of those pred mites. I found a mixed pack of them that has 3 different kinds. I will probably get some praying mantis also. I think it would be cool as shit having matnids climbing around in there patrolling my box. They don't hatch for up to 7 weeks so by then the preds should have done their job. (that is if I do have a bug problem). The sun comes up soon for them so I will really get in there and look around. I will post more pics later if I find any more evidence.

Thanks for the help, as always.

WHEW! went to sleep woke up and 5 more pages... WTF? lol

yep im addicted to the cancer sticks. I hate it though its the first thing i want when i wake and after i eat
i just dont like something having that much control over me, but its so hard to quit when it is the best thing since sliced bread after a bowl or joint. Nothing "sets" the high in better than a cig after a toke.
I think i am going to give this a try JM but i am going to do it from more natural sources. Im gonna pick up some fresh tobacco when i travel home in the next week. I used to work on a tobacco farm in the summer so i have a really good contact out there. Should be interesting to see what i can use this for i have a small ant problem in the house so i may douse the outside of the foundation with it. I knew nicotine could do this but wasnt sure how much it would take.

word. take your friend up on it... tobacco is easy to grow... takes paience.. but I know you have that

I might have to grow my own tobacco...certainly I'm gonna have to mix some leaf in.
The spanish have moved from direct to indirect taxation..
last year my 10 x 40 g pack was 17 euros..when the new taxes come in..it jumped to 35 euros..
and with the last price increase a week ago..49.50 euros....
Do you think I would get a plant up on the patio..I have heard they are tall...
Anonamix..I saw one of your photos further back...short girl..with long fat finger leaves...who is that.
I'll pick up the photo when I see it further back.
JM..you know..we always get a bit knock-back with new kit..until IT gets US dialled in..
and with you..there is not even anyone that can buddy up with you..coz it is new to us.
Hang on in M8...
and leave the cupboard door open for the Hoard of karma that is winging it's way over to you from us all....

Well thanks for the hoard of karma... opening cupboard up now!

...

cupboard open.. and wouldn't you know... involuntary wiggle! lol

as far as tobaccy prices... yup.. was $5 / pk.. the it went to 8 then 10 then 11... at ten I said, "F-ck you Govt".. started rolling my own.. a few weeks later I saw a cigarette rolling maching (all metal topomatic) for 50 bucks.. i did the math in my head quick and said... 5 packs of cigarettes for the machine? And the pipe tobacco costs $14 / cartons worth and the tubnes are $2-$3... so now for about $16 buks I got a carton... but the tax hike (now over 350%) pissed me off so much I decided to start growing that too... over 300 plants this year! still drying and curing.. true his is a long process... but worth it and its not hard... just takes time and temp/humidity controls... you guys dont know anything about temp and humidity control do you? (twinkle in my eye)
In short, yes, you can grow it in your glas house... easily... and like someone sad... the seeds are cheap... i bought 600 (3 different varietis) last spring for $18 shipped.
Tobacco is abou 120 -150 DTH from seed... so start early... although in spain it may be a lil easier!

thanks for the links... I'll check em in a bit!
I also have a couple seed suppliers... one thing I will note... be careful you dont get GMO seeds as they will not produce viable seeds.... and I know you...

I think that you can, if you can grow this kind of cannabis and are a rock star at it, you can grow tobacco my friend. The hight will vary on the type that you decide to get.

Exactly!

Doesn't look like thrips to me... think its nutes or ph or just a little leaf variation.... think ur ok... but it never hurts to be precautionary... my supplier just told me today they aren't shipping till next week! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered at 4:00 am for a fucking reason!

oh well... I'll hang in there...

OK... got carried away... good to see these photos for me this time of year...

Well they should get to you pretty fast once they do ship them (with Christmas being over and all) At least that gives you time for your neem to disperse before the soldiers arrive.

I just spent an hour and a half taking tons of macro pics of my leafs and studying them. I did not find one single critter. I did find a couple other leafs with holes in them though. It could have been the 1st batch of flower nutes I gave them. I did not check the ph on it before I fed. Now I am bringing the ph up on it a whole 1.5, so I suppose that could have been the problem.
