Infestation?

[Bigreen907]

Greetings guys,

So, this is my first grow. I am growing in Coco/perlite (70/30) under a Phlizon Newest 1200W LED. I am growing 2 White Widows and 2 Amnesia Haze autoflowers.

It has been a tough battle with lots of lessons learned. My plants are now into there 9th week and SUPER puney. Just started going into mid flower yesterday. After ditching the cheap crap PH pen, properly PH balancing DISTILLED water (was running my tap), and running 1/2 the GH basic (micro/gro/bloom), I think I got it dialed in.

Until now....

I am pretty damn sure I have an infestation of russet mites. I have started using Organicide pretty diligently.... now. I apply it right before lights out, and make sure my fan is blowing on it to help spread the oil. Right at lights on, I flush the soil with distilled water and about 20% of the nutes to help flush anything through the coco

I have attached pictures. What do y’all think?

Have you been able to spot the actual critters? It will be easier to ID the pest from a pest pic rather than a pic of the leaf damage. You should check the underside of the leaves with a magnifying glass as some pests are not visible to the naked eye.

FYI...here is what Russet Mites look like

Didn’t see any of those.

Looks a lot like physical damage.

Good deal! Those buggers are very difficult to treat without negatively effecting the whole crop!

Your leaves look like some chemical dropped on the leaves? Or as GR865 states, physical damage. Could you possibly post pictures of your entire plants - so we can see how extensive this is?
