There is definitely something eating them. I would hang a HotShot pest strip in the room for about 10 days.

cool ill give it a shot.btw anyone ever heard of this shit called pentag???its a white powder that aint sold anymore and suppose to kill spidermites fast.any info on this would be great.oh i tried google it and nuttin really came up.

 

[hashhead]

ok well i sprayed them with some neems oil to see if it will help it.how long would it take on average to start to clear up??

 

[Tead]

Neem is a systematic treatment. It is absorbed by the plant and disrupts reproductive and other life functions in the beasties that are eating it.

2 drawbacks to this situation....
It takes a while for it to become effective. The Neem oil gets absorbed by the plant... not like a topical insecticide. Think of it as an inoculation.
Insects must eat some of your plant to get the neem into them. This sounds bad, but in practice tends not to be a big deal. The offspring of critter X is much more dangerous than the initial attack... usually.

You may want to also use a quicker acting solution. Since you don't know the culprit, I'd go for some general and broad acting stuff... safer soap... tobacco juice... or even some stronger things.

Cheers... and best of luck!

 

[hashhead]

ok??

so what are u telling me i just screwed up or it will take to long toi work when i could have did something differant?

 

[Tead]

hmmm... well... it would probably be best to get some faster acting stuff, but the soap in the neem mix will help you out as well. As long as you sprayed the entire surface and coated the leaves top and bottom, I'd let it ride. The neem will start taking effect and protect your babie over the long run and the spray action and soap will disrupt them some for the instant action.

Make sense?

Can you see the bugs? Can you pick them off with your fingers or some tweezers? Have you identified them yet?

Cheers

 

[hashhead]

no i havnt found any bugs under the leaves or anywhere on the plant.but yea i sprayed both D's that had it i hit it on top of the leaves,on the bottom of the leaves,nodes,and all way down the stalk.did i do it right??

 

[Tead]

yup. You'll want to make sure and discontinue neem a few weeks before harvest. The stuff smells and tastes like ass... be sure to flush before harvest.

Looking back up at the photos.... that's really strange damage... I wish someone would chime in and point us towards the culprit.

Cheers... and keep us posted.

 

[hashhead]

now if it was bugs or whatever wouldnt all my girls have it??? (well not all but good portion)cause there all in the same room?

 

[Ms.Fox]

No, it's possible only a few plants will be affected by the bugs.

 

[hashhead]

well your right only a few are being affected,im noticed its starts as like very small white spots and starts to eat it ways though the leaf.when i try to rub off the white shit it seems it dont want to come off.it dont seem to be some bug.ok now for my next question???

i just got done fighting off PM do u think it could be the cause of my problems?when the mildew dies off does it leaves small holes in the leaves???FYI only a few were strating to be affected by the pm then i caught it and dealt with the problem before it got any worse.btw it took a week to fight it off including vaping sulfur and kepping R/H below 35%.
