Need Help Identifying Pest And Damage To Leafs!

[Isuzumafia]

so I've been having this bug flying around for a while. Sometimes I see them stuck to each other butt to butt. What can it be and is it the cause for my leaves looking like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

That's not the bug you have a boron deficiency. I was just on another tread about this try fasilitor by mills.

I'm not using any nutes though

Hence the deficiency

 

[Toaster79]

All I can see is slight N toxicity and light problem with P utilization or maybe even lack of it. It would be good to know what are your medium and growing conditions. There are also signs of insect damage on some of those leaves. At least it looks like that but might be something else. The pic is a bit low quality so hard to say. With the info you provided you won't be getting much help. Some of the burned serrations and yellowing might also indicate K deficiency.

@stanklungs what makes you think it's a boron deficiency? Just reading about it in another thread or can you actually recognize symptoms for boron deficiency? I'm just curious because it's very rear one.

@ toaster79 I'm using natures care organic potting soil and I have 5 24w cfls I'm gonna try to get a better quality picture of the leafs

What's your soil pH and what's your water pH going in?

I don't have a ph tester I just let my tap water sit out for 24 hours before watering.

 

[Toaster79]

You might wanna change that. Looks like your soil pH is out of whack and your tap isn't helping. Or she might be simply hungry. How big is your pot and how long has she been sitting in there? Whats your watering schedule? Could she be rootbound and acting weird? What are your temps inthere? Root/canopy level. Humidity?

I did notice last time o watered the runoff was clear usually it's a brownish light brown color. The Pot is 3.5 g been in there for 3 weeks and before that she was in 1.5 g I water till the soil is dry about every 3-4 days. last time I watered it got so dry some leaves started looking lifeless but as soon as I watered they came right back up. Temp. With lights on 80-85 lights off 75-80. I'm not too sure about the humidity but I do mist them about twice a day. This is what she looks like in general.

Her roots hit the bottom and you let her dry out to much. Up the watering and add 1/4 strength nutes. Keep your pots light but not bone dry.

Btw, what happened to the rest of the plant?

I'm not looking to transplant now do you think she can make it to harvest in the 3.5g? I've been letting her dry out because I heard that if you let it dry out you can get did of fungus gnats. Anyway I'll up the watering and I noobishly tried to lollipop her. Heard a lot of criticism and bad mouthing already about it. I went a little overboard maybe just a tad bit lol

 

[Toaster79]

You are suppose to let dry out top inch, max two to prevent fungus gnats. And by lollipong it's meant to strip those lower branches not to remove them.

You can sure take her to finish line but you'll have to be careful with feeding. You've got rootball double the size of what that plant needs as you removed strong lover branches. She has the ability to take up large amount of nutes but nowhere tu put the so you can esily burn the rest of the plant. Some of those roots will die and with too much water in those pots you can risk root rot killing some of those healthy roots and run into more and more problems.

Okay so just let the top inch or two dry out and very very light on nutes. I've never added nutes is there anyway to get them to her without buying commercial bottles products? And No overwatering. I learned my lesson with that already lol.

@stanklungs what makes you think it's a boron deficiency? Just reading about it in another thread or can you actually recognize symptoms for boron deficiency? I'm just curious because it's very rear one.[/QUOTE]

Experience, and it was a btch to figure out because I couldn't find it on a deficiency chart. But when only the last inch or less on a leaf bends straight down and is uniform on all the leaves that's the sign. Happened to me when I was experimenting with different lines a while back.

I have noticed those claw looking ends they are pointing down but if I press the ends and do an upward motion they bend and stay up instead of down. From what it looks. It's possible to grow without nutes just plain tap water but you'll have lots of problems. Any recommendations for nutes at this stage. I'm already 12/12 plant is about 2 months old from seed and is showing pistils.
