Bugs? Need help

can anyone please help me identify the problem? I scoped the plants but didn’t see any bugs?

It looks like something is eating small pieces and some discoloration. Thanks for any help!

I'm having the same problem dude!You didn't happen to spray your plants with water did you?

Nitrogen burn.

Nope, haven’t sprayed them recently. I did some IPM before I flipped. Whew, glad to hear it’s N and not bugs. I’ll keep an eye out.

Thanks for the help @Delztronics and good luck @Smitty42088

No worries.

That would not explain the discoloration in the first picture. Looks like a sucking insect. Very easy to miss mites, even with experience.

Damn, that was the answer I was expecting. Any suggestions on mite killers once flipped to flower? Thanks

I have some Monterey garden insect killer that I will spray tonight. It says you can use in flower. I hope that is true

Be careful about treating things before you know the true problem man I seen a guy on here that fucked his shit up worse than it was before from treating a problem he wasn't sure hebhad.Im just saying before you spray to much junk on them make sure you do the little things first....

Those leaves look awfully deep green. I wouldn't rule out nitrogen burn like Delztronics said. Did you scope under the leaves? If you did and didn't see anything I would lean towards to much nitrogen.

I scoped again last night. I didn’t really see any bugs, but I’m not too good at seeing through my scope. Is 100x enough to see everything or do I need a more powerful scope? What I did see were white bubbles on the underside of the leaves that looked like cloudy trics. (Just the top part of a tric). I’m wondering if these are eggs?? They were definitely milky white and not everywhere. My biggest problem is I have to go out of town Monday - Thursday next week.

Thanks again for the help.

100 x is plenty. I don't know. Sounds supisious but if you're not seeing thing alive maybe not a problem.

I don't think these are spider mites. Looks like a nutrient issue to me.


EDIT ::: Take a picture of the whole plant for a better diagnosis. It's hard to tell the pattern, colors, origin, etc. from the current ones.

P issue, slight nute burn on outta leaf edges, thrips or mites

I may have spotted a clear/white ish round bug with a black eye. really hard to tell. everything i see that's brown looks like little dirt specs to me. I have white bubbles on the bottom of the leaves. tric heads or spider mite eggs? look like little white bubbles on bottom of leaves. I was thinking thrips or mites too based on my research. I agree with all the nute problems too, i'm just more worried the bugs.

I thought i saw some little flying bugs (not fungas gnats. I just got rid of them) that were tiny. I could just be paranoid? thanks again. will take another pic

If you're worried about bugs spread some diatomaceous earth on the leaves.

Sounds like thrips. I believe those eggs will hatch and the larvae will live in your soil. The larvae is white/transparent, and has the shape of a bead of rice. It will also eat the chlorophyll from the bottom side of leaves (this will show up as white squiggly lines on the tops of your leaves). Do yourself a favor and invest in some spinosad.

EDIT ::: If you see any black one's with wings then odds are, you've had them for a while. The adults are black and have wings so they can fly from plant to plant. This is how they will spread.

Its odd tho, I don't see any signs of thrips from you original pictures.

I've had thrip problems in the past. You won't be able to see the eggs because the hatch inside the leaves.

Also there are many different types of Thrips that come in many different colours. Here is a thrip I had on my previous grow and was able to successfully treat them using diatomaceous earth on the leaves and on top of my soil. https://vimeo.com/user53079200/review/292434299/04bc717162
