Thanks for the reply mate, please don’t take it the wrong way but it’s not mites I’ve had the worst experiences possible regarding spider mites and a differnt spot and although it’s looks almost identical to the damage they cause fortunately this time it’s not that the spots came up about 2weeks starting from the top/mid of the plant and it’s only affecting my gorrila flies and og the other 2 strains in there are fine (the glues not quite as bad as the og) almost certain it’s to do with calcium just not sure if I need more or less or lockout?The stippling on your plants in pic 3 is typical with mite feeding sites... not sure what those white spots are on some of your fans, maybe thrips, two spot eggs, etc.
Seems your plants made it through flowering. My advice would be to get a scope in the 50-100x range and try to identify your pests, focus on the underside of leaves as well when looking for micro mites. Most of your pests can be see via the naked eye so you can start there as well.
Familiarize yourself with an IPM for future grows. Once you discover what pests you are dealing with, you can plan a treatment, as your somewhat limited on options when it comes to flowering.
"Could be" isn't as concrete as visible pest damage. Checking ppm runoff is fine as well, but he needs to get out a scope and identify his pests before going any further with his course of treatment.Could be a nute imbalance. How familiar are you with each strain / nute requirements?
I have seen folks dive into 3 stage nutes with great success on 1 strain but the next couldn't handle the load.
Typically recommend erring on the side of caution - if you're certain pests are not the root cause - start with a flush and reintroduce nutes after checking your medium ph / ppm.
I agree with BMG it looks pretty typical of Mite damageThe twisting and distorting in pic 2 is typically a tell tale sign of the cyclamen mite, if your leaves were cuping down I'd suggest broad mite. Your in for a fight.
What's your point? There is nothing wrong with practicing proper IPM, with or without bugs. I'm yet to see one in my grow for years, yet every week I still stick to my same foggings. Prevention is key, makes life easier then fixing the mess when they show up, and start ruining your work.Hence the last paragraph.. "if you're certain it's not pests".
Someone please tell me what's going on
