Leaf spots

[Newcannabislover]

I am seeing these pale green spots on the leaves of my Northern Lights grow. I'm growing under Fluence LED lights and feeding Botanicare veg nutrients with CalMag and Liquid Karma additives. Any ideas?

Could be Spider mites. Look under and on leaves.

Yep, spider mites...can't see them with the naked eye, you have to use a magnifying glass

This is what I see under magnification. I dont see any of this moving like insects. Could it still be spider mites?

They might be in other leaves. I could see the red spider mites with my bare eyes, but they're small. Look for tiny dark spots that move slowly after watching them for a while.

Thank you! I've been reading up on control/remedies and seeing suggestions for predators, poison and dumping grow, sterilizing room and starting over. Think I'll try the first two before using the third. I see you grow auto strains. I've never tried any of those. Do you get good yields from them?

Try this as a preventative next time...no spraying on plants, just mix with water and pour on your medium like you're watering them

Found them

You need to start spraying asap. They are difficult to get rid of.

Yes, I love autos. I usually get very good yields from them, and they are quicker to grow from seed to harvest.

Thankss again for your help. My grow store recommended Green Cleaner. Keeping my fingers crossed. I'll have to try some autoflowers one of these grows. Happy gardening!

Look again after a few days after spraying. I had to spray over and over again. Think they're gone now, but not sure. I'm very close to harvest and now I only spray them with cinnamon.

Make sure to top your autos if they grow well in veg. That'll help you get a decent yield from them. If you're growing indoors that is. I top, train, and defoliate to get good yields.
