I'm frustrated and fearful of what may be happening with my SCROG grow. I just flushed my Blueberry and SSH after two weeks of trying to figure out why white flecks on my leaves got larger and turned tan to brown. I've been removing leaves, checking ventilation, moving lights,...I tried baking soda, milk, dish liquid - nothing. It's like every time I turn around, there's another leaf with a tan splotch on it, but it can't happen that fast, right?
Anyway, I decided to flush them today, but I did it with five gallons of Ph'd water, and then I added one more gallon with 1/2 teas of Cal-mag solution. It was the best I could do, as I have no way to pour 10 gallons of water without wreaking havoc in my bedroom. Fortunately, I did have six towels and two blankets to soak up the water, which I then tossed into the washer, setting it specifically on "Spin," which wrung out enough water for me to finish soaking up the pond in my tent.
So, after this, I start picking off a few of the leaves, but when I looked under it, I found a line of light tan bumps alongside the main stem of the leaf. I haven't found this on all, but I have found a few. The splotches happen here and there on the plants, so one can be found below, in the middle, or at the top leaf of the plants, though they look pretty darn healthy! The damaged leaves look mostly like the photos with calcium and manganese deficiency, but these 'bumps' now have concerned that I may have a mite infestation?
I'll be able to buy some of the SNS on Wednesday, I just hope it's not too late, because I can't bear the thought of having to tell my husband that all the time, energy and effort I put into this SCROG will have to be trashed. Meantime, if anyone is familiar with this type of problem (I can't post photos), feel free to tell me what to do.
I'm so bummed about this. It seems like with every grow, just when I think I'm getting the hang of it, I experience a new setback, something different that didn't happen before.
