Am I Getting Light Burn?

[devlin016]

Why do I have dis colorization on my leafs? is it light or wind burn?

Looks like thrip or spider mites. Check the bottoms of the leaves.

If it is bugs you gotta act fast.......people seem to get upset here when I make suggestions how......they like doing stuff over and over that may not work....anyways pm me if it is bugs and you want some real solutions

Spider mites, scope the bottom of the spotted leaves for little tan with a black dot spider mites or pearl shaped egg sacs. "Green cleaner" will knock them out up until a few days before harvest, its made from oil and alcohol. Only apply foliars with lights off, 2 parts iso to 8 parts water in a sprayer will kill the visible ones but green cleaner works better.

I looked for infestations under leafs on top of leafs on stems just every where I even used a microscope on some parts. I cant find any bug.

 

[JSmokes420]

Look on the bottom of the leaves next to the veins

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

This is what you are looking for, sometimes they move to a different leaf.

The pearl things are the eggs, thats the first thing you will see. If you dont see any eggs its most likely thrips.

I do think I see eggs... can I buy lady bugs somewhere and let them loose on my plants?

Green cleaner, mix as directed and spray at lights off 4 or 5 days apart 3 times.

Lady bugs will fly into fan clogging death, beneficial nematodes is the only bugs I want to buy. Green cleaner wipes out spider mites right up until harvest and its organic, soybean oil water and alcohol are the main ingredients.

FLORaAMITE or avid works best on spider mites (veg only),lady bugs are a joke

 

[HugzAndNuggz]

from my understanding talking to the bug lady... ladybugs eat spider mites but they will never completely kill them off they dont want to get rid of there food supply so they'll heard them around, as aphids on the other hand aphids and ladybugs are like crack to a crackhead they cant get enough and they will gorge themselves on aphids they will actually destroy a population of aphids

Do another application in a week to ten days, it will get the ones you missed, then do another in a week from then for preventative maintenance. I like to spray my whole grow area, they have to come from somewhere.

 

[devlin016]

should i do this every cycle as a preventative measure? can this be applied when plant is flowering i wanted to switch over to flowering soon.

 

[EventHorizan]

After reading this you made me go look at a couple leaves I noticed earlier. I figured since I had just started week 7 of flower today that the plant was just starting to pull from the big fan leaves.
So I pulled out the scope. I don't see no bugs!! And nothing really except maybe what ever is in that pic..

Doesn't look like eggs to me. Anybody ???

 

[devlin016]

okay i applied green cleaner waited then applied captain jacks. my plants still look like theres something wrong. can this be low humidity wind or light burn or low temperatures? my grow room stays 68 degrees and my humidity is at 40% cause its winter. my lights are 1000 watt metal halide running in super lumens mode.

 

[mango420]

You have a couple issues here, first it's way to cold in your room. if your in veg your temps should be 75-80, your plants grow at a fraction of the rate when its that cold. And you have bugs.

 

[devlin016]

How in the world do i still have bugs? And plants are in a small shelter with reflective walls when the light is on they dont sit in 68 degrees just the much bigger room stays 68 it gots hot in shelter.

 

[devlin016]

I been applying green cleaner every 2 days for awhile now shaking it like crazy before i use it and then i even started using captain jacks because of a suggestion my hydro shop said.
