doesnt appear to be any of the basics...i REALLY need help. not even google worked..

ok. so as some may know i had a thrip issue earlier in this grow...spinosad was suggested and it worked perfectly...cleaned them out. weeks later i have a NEW strange problem i have not read about nor have i ever seen before.

let me start out by saying im growing white berry...3 weeks into flowering...fox farm triple line-up of nutes (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom)...ocean forest soil...etc.

i noticed these tiny red spots all over some of the leaves on 2 out of 5 plants...the spots are VERY small (i almost didnt see them). i pulled out a 30x microscope and didnt see any type of bugs/mites...nor did i find any webs (spidermites).

im not saying ITS NOT a bug but from what i can tell there isnt any...however to make extra sure i used more spinosad tonight @ lights out. they havent gotten any for about a week. in fact i only used it twice...once when i found my thrip problem and again so many days later to ensure i killed the babies (if there were any as i only counted 20 thrips between 5 big plants)

here are some pics of my leaves...the look very strange. havent fed plants since saturday so i doubt its nute related (in my experience nute burn shows itself in 1 to 2 days tops)


so what could this be? i looked up all the different nute issues (looked up pics of each regular plant issue) and couldnt find anything that looked similar really.

sorry for the poor quality.

originally i thought spider mites (because of the patten) but the color of the spots is different and not all the plants are hit with this...infact its only a handful of leaves on 2 of the 5 and its not on the top or bottom...its bothering leaves in the MIDDLE of the plant.

any ideas???

What are your temps like? Could the plants be getting cold?

Use all the ff products and soil you mentioned plus the open sesame, beastie bloom and cha ching. The strain I'm growing is the Berry White which I think is the same as yours(blueberyy kush x white widow). I have the exact samething with the spots. I was think it might have to do with the cal or mag. Not sure what it is, so I will definitley be watching your post.

I added some di-calcium phosphate and it seemed to help, but I'm still new to this and not sure if that is the right thing to do or not. My tent runs around 80-82f so it's not from the cold from what I can see.

well it has been colder here lately (especially in the mornings..its dipped as low as the 40's/50's...) granted my plants are indoors but its not perfect in there and the heater doesnt get ran as much as it should...during the lights on its anywhere from 70-75 degrees. so not too hot/cold.

it did look like it COULD be cal/mag but im not sure SOME of the pics reguarding those types of damages look KIND OF similar but not really overall...it really looked like spidermites or some type of bug from the way the damage looked but im not so sure at this point. correct me if im wrong but spinosad works for mites too correct?

ive checked it before but the damage looks different. its just a bunch of tiny red spots...like making dots on a paper with a pen...some leaves the spots are near the veins...other have it everywhere..some spots are not visable on the otherside of the leaf while some are (even under a scope).

so idk what it is but i dont wanna lose these babies...these have turned out better than any ive done before...even with some leaves having spots overall they look healthy beyond that... ill get pics today to show the rest of the plants.

anyone with ideas? im hoping to get a jump on it today before it could get out of hand (assuming its pests or some supplement issue)
