Wattup with my leaves?

MoMoGrows · Jul 16, 2015

Leaves are splotchy looking I dunno. Tried looking in the "look here first" thread but the pics won't work on my phone for some reason. My bottom leaves are more afflicted but first two pics are from a top leaf on one of em. Same thing on all four of my plants. Thanks.

look real close at the underside of the leaves. maybe mites?

MoMoGrows · Jul 16, 2015

How big do they get? Looked under a few, a couple little black dots in a couple places, not abundant though. Was in a hurry before I left after light on. I'll look a lil more in about an hour or so when I stop back home for a minute.

Thanks doc. Just neem oil as a remedy? Did a little inspecting and found some small small things which I'm assuming are spider mites, very easy to overlook, almostlook like dirt but rubbed a cpl off with my finger and they smeared like bugs do. Didn't look like any were moving at all. I'm dead broke till next Friday, anything I can do besides neem?

Spider mites commonly infect plants to feed off the foliage. These tiny insects are nearly invisible to the naked eye, making them difficult to detect. Leaf damage appears as light dots on foliage and may take on a bronze hue. As infestation continues, leaves turn yellow and drop from the plant. Tiny white webs may be visible behind the leaves and along stems. Spider mites appear as tiny moving specks that range in color from brown to red. Without intervention, spider mites pose a threat to your plant's health.You can create
a home remedy for spider mites on plants with a few common household supplies.

Step 1
Mix 1 Tbsp. mild dish detergent ( one with no fragrance if possible ) with 1 quart lukewarm water in a spray bottle. Mix to create mild suds.

Step 2
Lightly spray top and underside of leaves .

Step 3
Repeat every three to four days until plants are free of spider mite infestation. The soapy water will not kill the eggs, so it may take a month or more to totally eradicate all spider mites.

This will help until you get the proper spray treatment - neem oil or Azamax

If that doesn,t work I think azamax works better than neem.Spraying the plant is the easiest way to see the webs confirming your suspicions that you are in fact infected with the borg.

Stupid mites, resistance is not futile. Will do the dish soap tomorrow, I actually have no fragrance dish soap right now so that's a good cowinkydink. It won't hurt my buds? And do I need to wash it off with plain water or is it fine just spraying da suds and leaving it. Thanks for all your help guys.

I'd search the threads for habanero spray...you don't want to soak your buds or you may run in to mold, and pepper spray will break down in a few days. Never tried any store bought stuff as there is always an organic solution! Also dte powder works well for mites nats...and other hard bodied insects.

So I got some neem from a friend same night I originally posted this. My tent is pretty tight, can't work well on plants without pulling them out. I've been physically unable to pull the plants out as they heavy as fuck and my back isn't doing so well. Anyway, sprayed the best I could top of leaves, pretty thoroughly. Underside of leaves didn't get done the best. Did this Friday and Monday. Appears to still be getting worse fast. Took some vikes tonight and gonna pull them out one at a time soon.
I guess I'm looking for more specific directions. Should I spray each leaf individually? Or will just misting undersides a branch at a time work? Should I spray and then try to wipe the little buggers off and spray again? Any more help you guys could be would be very appreciated. I'm extremely worried my plants gonna get too fucked up. I'm one month into flower and buds are still growing nicely.

You may mites but looks like Thrips to me...

MoMoGrows · Jul 22, 2015

Thrips? I got lil black things and lil tan things on underside of leaves....neem help thrips?

OG Gardenz · Jul 22, 2015

just had a second look at your pics and you definitely have thrips... neem may knock em down a bit but will clog your stomata pores if you use as much as you would need to really hit em.

Thrip larvae live in the soil... try a vegetable approved systemic product

MoMoGrows · Jul 23, 2015

OK thanks. Just hit em with neem. Will pick up something more thrip specific on Friday.

mites die in water,put a leaf in the water wait 5 minutes and look in your eye lupe the borg is dead.
put the whole plant in a barrel of water and they don't like it

Precipitator 360 Sprayer - 32 oz. capacity

Have done research on thrips and i dont see anything that i think are thrips. Nothing runs away or moves at all. Here is a better pick of the lil dots on underside of leaves. Leaves very yellow splotchy and some turning to purple splotchy and getting thin in splotchy parts. Help!
