somthing aint right with them leaf's

a bunch of my leaves edges have a rust look going on... i did find some small bugs crawling on the underside of a very few leaves iv been spraying my girls with my hommade mix of Eco smart insecticide, and also habanero pepper water i made from the peppers... i dont wanna keep spraying im scared for bud rot but i also dont want insects to take over.. i feel like i caught them early tho cuz there is very few..... will my spray work? i dont wanna harvest early... any advice?

anyone ever seen this????????

Doing strange shit with your plants then expecting the membership to help you out is too dumb to believe, avoid being a jerk for this very reason, flush your plants with 3 times the volume of the pot, allow to recover 1x day in dim light, avoid any nutes until you see an improvement!

strange shit? wtf r u talking about i read up on mites and theres a thread on here saying, this spray i made killes them... i havent been using nutes, since we r on the last 20-30 days of flowering... just RO and Cal mag... iv been noticing more leaves turing like this i think mites are spreading but i dont know for sure if this is even a bug problem...

RO is reverse osmoses water FYI

your plants have athletes feet ........ its from being barefoot around them .......
looks like nute burn
is the soil time released ? sometimes feeding on time released will show burns at random intervals even though top feeds have stopped
could be mites have you got a positive ID on what the bugs are ?

is that a joke... lol wait so r u telling we that this has nothing to do with bugs? i dont see how it could be a nute burn since i stopped so long ago? if it is a nute burn should i stop with the calmag and just stright RO that bitch... this must be hella mild nute burn

it could be Potassium Deficiency

Potassium isn't absorbed properly when there is too much calcium or nitrogen in the system

Wierd, how come the edges are crusting up.. bug attacks usually involve the entire leaf. when I apply pesticide, it sometimes damages the leaves but again it would be across the entire leaf.

I would guess its something to do with the feeding basics. when tips look burnt it tends to be too much of something.

i think u might be on to something... the topdress with the bonemeal may have been a bad move.. im legit about 30 days max out of harvest.. u think ill be ok if i just continue as planned with the cal mag and RO...?

i agree i must say im stumped with this one i check the under sides of my leafs like crazy and honestly 1 out of like 100 will have maybe 3 little baby crawlers that look like mites... i think i may have fucked up with that bone meal top dress even tho i only put a little bit... the flowers are looking very nice tho

from the link above it says too much calcium will cause a potasium deficiency, so you might consider cutting off the calcium for a while.

good luck

Well try to identify the pest before treatment, or use a broad spectrum insecticide like aza max. Its neem based..

I try to get the critter with a piece of clear tape that way I can look at it with a microscope...

Eh.. I wish I could help more with soil top feed suggestions, but I'm kinda getting a refresher course on organics only.

all good man i appreciate the suggestions.. honestly its out doors, bugs in your garden is all part of the game, i have no infestations just a very very small amount of pests, big spiders and lady bugs helping huge in this field plus i did like i said that pepper water mixed with eco safe insecticide, very light sprays...

I have the same leave problem with my WW x OG which is now 7 weeks into flowering, I just give it water only and it hasn't got worse so far (2 weeks since the onset of the problem).

I thought so that fan leaf is huge.

Yeah, if everything is in balance no need to upset the fauna, and the azamax would cause havoc with everything.. mebby letting less desirable insects in.

Could be too much Ca I had some strange burning on the leaf edges which I have put down to this. I would stop giving your plants anything except plain water for a day or two. That fixed my plant or at least got it growing again.

Maybe you're using rusty water?
