I guarentee you thats not spidermites. Disease is possible, nutritional disorder is also possible, can you post what your using as nutrients now, and how much you water/often? Are you following a feeding chart?

You have seen this before you sprayed anything for mites? have you sprayed at all? if so, what did you spray and what doses. EVER!

JL,

right now I'm using FF Big Bloom at 1/2 strength for feed. I'm watering 1 gal every 3 days or so. Feed schedule has been:

Feed - Feed - PlainWater - Feed - Feed - PlainWater

And yes, I noticed the problem before I sprayed for mites. Never have sprayed or foliar fed them before this mite spray.

I'm wondering if it is a lockout issue. I haven't taken any PH of the runoff in a while. I guess that should be the first step on my next watering...which will be tomorrow. But, if they are dry enough for water tonight, I may do it tonight.

I hope I can resolve this issue soon. :goodluck: I don't want the harvest to suffer, or worst case lose my girl!

THANKS!
 
Looks like a calcium problem. Heres a link that will help;

And as far as spraying your plants. With that soap it won't hurt the plants. You can spray all the way till the harvest, but at that point leaves alittle taste on the plants. Keep spraying every 5-7 days. hat will keep the mites down to something manageable. Seems once ya get them, you got em. But when you get ready to harvest, I'd stop the last week before, at that time the mites can't really hurt them anymore. Besides, you keep up on spraying this early you will kill off 80-90%? At this point in the game, its called keeping them in check. It's hard to kill em all. I know I been thru it more than once. Mites live everywhere, and they love pot. They live in the carpet, your lawn, other house plants. But afew mites won't hurt anything. Once you harvest, clean the room I mean clean it. Bleach whip down vacuum the floor throw the bag away. Total. Mites love temps around 70-85 degrees, and higher humidity. Inside plants don't get the same treatment as outdoors. Rains wind and natural predators check them in check. The spray you are using is totally edible. I use it all the time. Kill them buggers. And for those spots try cal-mag. It works wonders. Pot is a hella fast growing plant. It drink calcium and magnesium. Check that link out it shows your problem to a key. GL
 
I've really never seen any nutrients give those symptoms and its one area I like to research. Potassium would be starting along the edges not all over the leaf like that I'm sure.

I'm certain it is bug or disease related, by disease I mean some sort of fungal infection and bugs as in bug shit tho Is tend to think fungal issue.

Try asking in the help forums if I was you Conquering. Either way I think it needs someone who has experienced this issue themselves else may be chasing shadows
 
BTW if it is fungus neem even that spray you used will help. Remember once the leaves get those stops even if you fix the problem they will probably be scarred for life. You will be able to tell from the new growth. Hope it's looking better next week or show will tell
 
Thank you guys for all the support! I really appreciate it. I looked a little more into Potassium deficiencies, and I think that is what I may have. I guess a high soil acidity and/or salt buildup can lock out potassium.

The girls are on are going to be watered tonight. Should I just do straight water with a higher (7.5 or so) PH??
 
I just looked in a book I have called 'marijuana horticulture indoor outdoor medical growers bible' by Jorge Cervantes, and it has the same pic's exactly. I was looking at
420's site and that calcium was closest pic I saw there. The K deficiencies didn't look like it. That book is a good book not saying isn't better. If I knew how to scan and post I'd show the pic, but it's the same. My bad I'm sure of. Hey Jason you close to Portland? If so do a drive bye my doghouse. The THCF Clinic has a cool place for get togethers. GL

No, thats too high. lol no pun intended. about 6.8 is as high as you want to go. It'll be better to find out what your pH is now before you decide how to deal with the problem. If its lockout a flush should work, If it's just deficient you could nake it worse and make other nutrients become deficient by flushing unless you flush and then resume nutrient regiment directly after the flush/pH adjustment.. I'm not much of a soil grower, so I'm not sure if it would be best to flush or add something like 'Earthjuice Meta K'. I bet some of these soil growers would be more help there. Good luck, It seems at least your closer to a solution now that we know what the deal is. ;)

I wish. I love oregon, and am thinking of moving there sometime. I have relatives in Bend, and portland, but it's been years since I visited. I'm over due. Thanx for the offer though bro. :grinjoint:
 
All good, I must have gotten confused. Maybe over medicated Jason I only get to smoke 1 1/2 on 1 1/2 off. And the was my first night on*************. JK ,,,,,,,,, I hope plants are happy as long as it looks happy, let nature do it's course for afew days and see if anything happens. GL Agreed wonder what the soil is ph wise? You got 7.5 tap? You don't use it alot do ya? Some tap water will lock-out you nert's. 7.5 is 'atad' high. Hopefully the new shit will be better. Best Hopes. Lates

Any roots from your DIY cloner yet?

Not yet...I can see the beginnings of some roots though. I hope they root soon, it has been 8 days since I took the cuttings.

Yeah, I do use my tap water often. The PH is high 7.5+ but the nutes lower it a bit, and I always try to lower it into the middle 6's before I water. The bummer is that I think my PH meter is pretty jenky, so it may not be giving me accurate readings.

It is interesting that All the plants receive the same of everything, and that is the one giving me the problems.

No worries bro. I'm about as medicated as gets now. lol, just be sure to share!!

I also use tapwater. Mine is around 7.5-8 pH, but if your nutes are more clear than cloudy try pH liquid test kits. Also if you feel your pen is cheesey just ues calibration solution before and after every test to help let you know if its working right. I've seen gardens go to total shit because the grower goes strictly by the pen. I dont even use one unless I have to now. only with dark nutes. I prefer liquid test kits. just less error. you dont have to worry about errors with the electronics. Another trick is to take a pH reading of the water before and after you add your nutes, and then find out exactly (or as close as you can) how much your nutrients drop the pH with that mix/ratio of nutes t water, and adjust your pH before you add your nutes while anticipating the drop. It takes a couple tries, but after a few tries, and a little journaling you'll find that nich, and be able to add nutes and pH down without even looking. now you'll still want to check it, but that will help you get it down, and then you'll know when your pens off just by the ratios.

...Also, store in 4 and calibrate in 7 (you probably already knew that, but i just thought maybe it'll help.) because the acidity will prevent buildup and break down any current buildup on your electrode, and you want to calibrate to the nearest possible number to your desired pH to minimize numeric drift of your pH pen.

ok, I really went off there, but I hope you learned something, and didn't go cross eyed. lolololol ;)

peace man, I hope your as medicated as I.
