Looks EXACTLY like broad mite damage, do you have a clue what you are talking about? Why would you ever suggest for someone to wait to scope their sick plants with a magnifying glass? These infestations only get worse as you wait.

If she wants to scope her plants then she can at any time. My wording may not have been perfect but if she wants to scope out the damage and look for bugs then all power to her. Otherwise I don't see damage from bugs my friend. Either way she now knows everything she need to look for from nutes to bugs and that's what we are here for is to provide possible diagnosis, not guaranteed. Its not my plant and Im not there where the plant is. Im goin by pictures and knowledge of what I see to give a possible diagnosis and nothing more, I am no botanist but have much knowledge on growing cannabis. Mostly learned from RIU...

here's one of the plants i was referring to. if you look on the left, you will see some of the damage before the issue was corrected.


here's the same plant a week later.


i will try to find what i did with the pics of the same plant when they looked just like the pictures that was posted in the beginning of this thread.

Please forgive my harsh wording, I think I'm a bit paranoid about broad mites from the horror stories I've heard lately. Everyone should scope now, they're everywhere!

I need a dab.

broad mites do suck but it doesn't look like it to me, that just my opinion my friend. It may be don't get me wrong but Im looking at it by fixing what could simply be a micro nute def rather than spraying the plants for bugs. I hope its not bugs cause those bitches suck. We are all here to give an opinion and everyone is entitled to one and hopefully looks at all the factors we all pointed out. If I smoked Id do a dab with you my friend but instead I am going to give my mother her dose of MJ for her to sleep and take care of the overnight pain.

this is the first grow for me and these were from seed. (Sour Kush for those interested--a GREAT smoke!! well, it was when my Uncle grew it!!) i have been inspecting my plants regularly since the beginning with a magnifying glass, and also again when i received the 60x jeweler's scope i bought--no sign of bugs. HOWEVER, the pics by facestabber totally grossed me out i hate bugs!! <shudders> will look again in the morning when lights are back on just to be sure!!

so, just to clarify Cpappa: i am going to start adding the cal/mag to every watering i do from now on and will resume the feeding schedule according to the GH organic schedule (i'm going to start out slowly and work her up, since i've hardly fed her) immediately. and Fresh, that would be great!! all of her bottom fan leaves (three of them) look like that to some degree, the rest of her looks great except for those few little leaves in the middle that were in my original post... to get this in my mind, guys, is there more than one issue going on? the calmag and then lack of "something" and that's why the middle leaves are starting to be affected? thanks everyone!

Cal/mag is only a couple of the micros you need. The cal/mag are the two most popular ones. There are many others like zinc, manganese, iron, etc. Get the Micro feed to giver along with your waterings it will make the world of a difference. Don't use too much though cause some micros will lock out other nutes. So use sparingly. Good Luck

Cpappa27...a man that takes care of his mother speaks volumes about his character! being a caregiver is hard sometimes, my respect and well wishes sent your way! may i ask what kind of pain MJ helps her with? as someone familiar with chronic pain, i am glad to hear of someone willing to medicate someone in a way that suits the patient best--especially one who does not smoke, and yet "gets it!"

ok so i just ordered Earth Juice Nutrients - Micro Blast and while shopping, picked up their line of Grow & Bloom as well as something called MetaK just because i liked how it sounded

i'll update the post once i get the order and start using it.

You might want to try the heavy feeding schedule. That looks like a decent sized plant and with general organics it's pretty hard to overfeed.

thanks fuih8u - as noted earlier, i had seen "The Claw" and assumed it was too much nitrogen. so i'm wondering if that was a mistake and she just has a tendency to do that...
