Below are two photos of a shade leaves, most my girls are big and strong. I feed them once a week (foxfarm [tiger, bigbloom]) I water with distilled water twice a week on top of feeding. I am 5 weeks into flower and on most of my leaves are getting spots. I cant seem to find out what it is. When i feed and water i give each girl 1/2 a gallon they are in 3 gallon pots with ocean forest. I have it narrowed down to either too little water, nutrient lockout, or heat stress. My space fluctuates from 67-90 degrees. The median temp is about 77 degrees. I should be adding co2 by week 6 (at that point I'm not sure if i should bother with co2, or should i?).


Any thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Could be because your 5 weeks into flowering, and your leaves are going to die/discolor naturally that late into flowering.

They look extremely healthy and to be honest, 5 weeks into your flower, theres not much you can do. The plant doesn't care about anything other then growing dank buds, so keep feeding and let it run its course.

it appears to be mite eggs that ur looking at (little spots)
flip over the leaf,you should see movment of little black dots(the spider mites)and even smaller white dots(eggs).
you will need to deal with ASAP it will only get worse.
for now, you can use dish soap and a rag to whipe the leafs.
I have yet found something to totaly kill off mites,the best Im able to do is keep em at bay with neem oil/rosemary oil and dish soap mix in a spray bottle.
good luck.

welll i have been battling the same thing for like weeks now. Finaly I sealed up the room cleaned it all up and bombed the fuck out of the whole are. I also treated my leaves with insecticidal soap . I left the plants while I bombed but I spread them all out . After four hours I can see the dead little bastards but I still have to wipe their eggs off the plant.

I am also smoking some bud that had some mites on the leaves . it is fine but I had to keep cleaning the leaves . Obviously they would have been better without the mites eating my babies leaves.

good luck.

And side note...............HI KINDPRINCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the brown shit are the mites.
you have let it go to long, I'm sure with the hopes of it just going away on it's own,right?(we have all been their)
cut off "some" of the leafs that show the most spots.
then whipe down all leafs(both sides) and stems with warm water/dish soap.
alot of work I know.

I cut a hole in a paper plate and put it around my main stem having it rest on the soil and then I use a water bottle and spray down my plants,works pretty good for me.

dont bomb, you at 5 wk into flowering isnt a good idea.

hahahaha if it was only so easy!
still whipe ur leafs with a sponge while using ur zero tolerance, the mites almost stick to it.
hope it works out.
I'm still trying to fingure out where the hell these mites come from, every grower has them no matter what country they live in.
My buddy calls them cannabis cockroaches:mrgreen:

The white/yellow spots on the tops of the leaves are there because the mites penetrate the leaf from the underside and suck nutrients out of the leaf. They lay their eggs along the veins of the underside of the leaves.

The best thing I've found to eliminate spider mites is a product called AVID. Its very potent. five drops in a quart of water placed into a spray bottle is all you need. Spray under the leaves, on top of the leaves and into the cracks of your grow area. Do this over a three day period and the mites will be gone. Once you harvest, tear the grow down and spray the entire area real good with AVID. The only problem with AVID is the expense. Some hydro stores sell it in small quanities.
