Raised bumps on mostly new leaves?

Pearl · Jun 20, 2022

Should probably open with the fact that I'm still new to growing. Maybe this is normal, but it's not showing up on my other two plants so need some help from you experts!

Anyone know what this could be? I checked for bugs but dont see any. Yesterday, it was very windy so not sure if that had anything to do with it because the leaves toward the top are very slightly curled at the tips as well.

Thank you

You will need to provide a lot more info to get meaningful help.

This is outdoors? Potted or unpotted, what medium? You been feeding them and if so with what?

Got it. Thank you for responding.

- Outdoors
- Transplanted from clones 7 weeks ago (they were about 5 inches tall at that time)
- 25 gallon smart pots
- BuildASoil soil
- Every 3-4 days, 1.25 gallons water with aloe and silica
- Four days ago, top dressed with barley
- 8 days ago, very light foliar spray with fish fertilizer; leaves responded very well to that
- about 3 feet tall

Some kind of mites or other little pests.

Thanks. What would suggest I should do? I took a magnifying glass to the leaves, but couldn't find any pets so not sure what the best approach is.

You look under the leaves? They are small. Lots of products out there. I like Lost Coast Plant Therapy

I spent an embarrassing amount of time today looking under the leaves and didn't find anything. I did manage to get a few more pictures though..maybe I'm not seeing something that you may see? I really appreciate your help - I'm stumped and it's driving me crazy!

Is it possible that those are trichs?

Off topic. I thought you weren't supposed to get fertilizer on the leaves. Leads me to the idea 'don't use it in a foliar spray'

Always treat preventatively. Keep bugs from getting a hold

Looks like a transpiration issue… was it hot dry and windy? Seems to uniform to be bugs

Looks like it’s reveg issues to me

Chech the serrations early in the morning and look water sap. Like little water droolets. I think i see one In the pic below.

Water pressure causes secretion from the serrated tips. Its their natural pressure relief.

I don't know about other fertilizers, but I used this product. Supposedly it's good for foliar spraying. They seem to respond very well to it. https://buildasoil.com/products/pure-protein-dry-organic-fish-fertilizer

Yes! There were droplets under the leaves early this morning. I thought it was just dew. What do you think?

That could just be condensate i mean near the tips of the serrations… the process is called guttation. But i think your real issue lay with what @GrowHobo said…. Revegging

TIL - thank you! Getting humbled real quick from this thread...Never heard about guttation. No water droplets at the serrations.

Re-vegging - greatttt...Is there anything I can do? What would you do? If there's a resource you recommend I read, I'd absolutely do that. There's so much conflicting info out there which makes it difficult for me to navigate since I'm still new to this. Appreciate your and everyone else's help in figuring this out.

@GrowHobo was the one to point it out. I hadn’t even noticed until he pointed it out.

If your outdoor id just let it ride… gonna be a lot of funky growth but will flower again in the fall. But thats just an opinion of what i would do and im not an outdoor grower
