What does this mean?? Help!

Noticed this on SOME of my leaves, what is it? Or what causes it, and how can I fix it.

look for bugs

Ya looks like a pest problem. I had a similar looking plant a while back look real close and saw a green maggot looking worm thing was tiny got rid of infected leaves And did a neem spray and that did it. I got lucky.i think the key is really early detection ...looks like you caught the problem early enough so good luck

I agree, check the under areas of the leaves, it def isn't spider mites but maybe some kind of aphid etc.. Anyhow they make great soaps with neem oil in them to naturally get rid of pests like this. You can look up your own recipe and or just get something that is already mixed up. Einstein Oil works well, Ive also seen DIY dawn dish soap used for certain things, idk if I would go with dawn. Something like dr.bronners baby mild is a safer bet.

Homemade recipe-

Combine 1 tablespoon of Dr. Bronner's castile soap -- or another variety -- with water in a clean spray bottle. Invert it gently several times to mix, but do not shake the bottle.

2
Apply the insecticidal soap spray to your plants in a heavy coating, as the spray only works if it saturates the insects you're trying to kill.

3
Repeat once per week until you don't notice any insects on your plant. Spray plants in the early morning, recommends Lafayette University's Organic Garden program, because pants and blossoms are most open.

Your first post looks a little like Thrip tracking, but may not be.

They occur on the lower leaves first and move higher, Thrips and mites are a indication of poor air movement.

Thrips can be controlled with 5ml natural Pyrethrum per litre of water, spray to run off applied a second time after 10-14 days.

Pyrethrum is a contact spray , thus assure to cover lower and upper of leaves and mist potting growing media and surrounding areas, re apply after 10 -14 days due to hatching eggs.

I had thrips and magots and I eradicated both using Ivermic RS

Thats an outdoor grow






The white dots is from the magot

The magots while they were bigger but much more harder to detect as they take the same colour of the plant..

Was alooot harder than finding the thrips

The OP picture is not bites in any way!

My openion!

Bub

Wait a sec





Op picture no 3


I had the same black dots!

I believe then he have thrips as well but am sure that the discolouration is mag def as well!

I saw this def a million time..

Bub

Todd, the pattern damage dosent match..

Take a closer look

Thrips

More un orgnized looks like, more lines as they walk and feed the leave

The OP is more batches and its not the same colour thats why I say its mag

While this dosent elemenate the possibility of thrips is on the plant

But we speak about the damage now on the leaves

I saw this before as mag def and epsom solve this batches of discolouration of the leaves

Op mag not thrips damage

Anyway if the Op made new pics it can get more clear

Its couple of days now since his last post...
