Possible Cal mag deficiency?I appreciate any advice I can get this is my first girl everything seem to be going well until now. Still trying to break down what my leaves are telling me. Thanks again
I agree it looks like an aphid; but I suspect the leaf damage is a magnesium issue ?I think I found my problem. But... what are they and how to get rid of them. I’m growing in a tent. I’ve sprayed my plants down twice with Neem oil 2 tablespoons per gallon. Thanks!

[/QUOTE. Beachwalker I agree I’ve added cal mag to the feed and now treating the aphid with Humboldts flower shield. So now only wait and see.
Thanks for the info! I e done what you have suggested got rid of the damaged growth I’ve also added diatomaceous earth to the top of the media to help deter them from hiding outBro, it's an aphid type bug. They are a nuisance in my father's basement non cannabis garden. I notice they usually hitch a ride on the plant in the fall and then procreate during the winter in the basement and next thing you know there is honey dew that they secrete on all of the leaves and casings from them molting. The best method is to cut that growth off and throw it in a garbage bag or very far away. If you have one or two, just do a light neem oil spray and manually remove them.
No all packaged pro-mix. Hard to tell how they got in but when I noticed one and looked around I found a few, if there’s a few there’s more than likely a lot more I didn’t see. Since treating started I’ve seen only one hope it’s working and they’re just not hidingDid any of the dirt come from outside or anything? In my opinion based on experience with these bugs, it's hard for an aphid to make an appearance without being first introduced to the area.
Thanks for the input I am absorbing all suggestions and tipsThat's weird, maybe the eggs were in something or the adults found their way into the garden some how. It's not the biggest deal if they haven't started a colony. Just have to figure out how they enter to prevent them from coming in again. Nice setup and plants by the way!!! :)
Check some undersides of the leaves to see if they are hiding from the pesticides or the bright lights.
In terms of the deficiency, could be from pH fluctuations or one of the nutrient deficiencies. I would try and give some all purpose fertilizer that has all of the nutrients in it to see if that helps. Maybe boron.
The tent's Humidity; soil pH and moisture levels would be helpful in determination as well.
Could also be from light burn if the light source is too close to the leaves. Or root issues which could look like almost any condition.
It’s a 2000w led the manufacturer suggests 24-36” away seems kind of far i thought but didn’t want to burn them. I will try to work it down over the next few days and see what happens. Thanks!Insecticide, will kill em all. :)
btw I think that light is too far away
Ummm 2000w blurple? what light is that exactly? Going to go out on a limb and say its probably 300-450 actual watts.It’s a 2000w led the manufacturer suggests 24-36” away seems kind of far i thought but didn’t want to burn them.

It’s hygrow brand. Should I go back to the 1000w metal halide I was trying to save some $$ on my electric billUmmm 2000w blurple? what light is that exactly? Going to go out on a limb and say its probably 300-450 actual watts.
Yeah its 400w your MH will probably serve you better in my opinion. You would pay quite a bit more than $200 for a comparable LED. I'm not saying it won't grow but as was suggested you prob need to move it closer.It’s hygrow brand. Should I go back to the 1000w metal halide I was trying to save some $$ on my electric bill
