Can someone diagnose this??

My plants have been outdoors for a week now. Looked beautiful when I put them in 7 gallon pots but not they have spots on the fan leaves. I've always grown indoors in a small cabinet and never saw this problem. I've tried to self diagnose as a calcium deficiency but I'm not sure. Any help/remedies would be awesome, and they're Swiss Cheese from Nirvana. Thanks

Reckon you got a touch of Thrips there I'm afraid.

Do you have a magnifying glass?? If so examine the underside of the affected areas, bet there will be little critters under there.

If so, Pyrethrum 5EC time !!!!

Could definitely be thrips. You can control them using some sand on top of your soil. Will also insulate the roots and help retain moisture as a side bonus. Outside there will be natural predators that won't let them get too out of control most of the time as well.

Thrips are probably the least harmful pest of all the pests we commonly deal with for whatever it's worth. No need to panic. You could pick up some natural predatory insects as well, they'll do well outside.

There were prolly 5 lower fan leaves throughout the 5 plants that were half to 3/4 eaten as well. Didn't take any pictures of that tho as I just figured it was a catipiller or something. There were snails in the dirt too. Like I said, first time outdoors. Pointers plz lol

Spider mites were these clones

Bugs ...no thrips that tunnel through the plant no.
Look towards some mild nute burn,
but as a big boy now, growing outdoor, you sharpen the axe
by steady and constant applications of Neem Oil

to my blog: https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/neem-oil.27514/

No I started them from seed

And how exactly do you apply the neem oil? Looking on eBay now

i would take the most infected leaf cut it and turn it over look at under side for eggs or anything crawling with magnifiying glass
Your plants are pretty small i would go to home depot or Rona purchase Bug B gone let soil dry out make a batch into a large container and tip plant upside down moving it up n down in solution or like 2 mins carefully standing it up in shade or a dark room let dry then back outside repeat 4 days later

I've always applied using a spray bottle. About the size of a windex container, I probably use a table spoon or so, I usually just fill the cap up twice and drop it in and shake. Then I spray the plant, both the top and bottom of the leaves. I also spray the stems and stalk. If you get organic neem oil and not some "pesticide" with neem as an ingredient, then you will fine if you accidentally use too much, but you can def smell that neem oil.

problem with spraying is you never really get them all it always comes back

Never had a problem with spraying but each their own, i don't really care what you do but tipping a plant upside down is probably not a good idea

all good but to completely rid them is by not spraying you just never get it all but buy making a 50 gallon barrel of bug be gone 2 times and 100 percent kill rate i have grown thousands of plants and that is how the big boys play and not talking about in my time talking about 200o live plants at once there kido ..
The best way is to dunk plants so all the plant is submerged up to soil
then use a sprayer spray containers top of soil if your in a grow room dunk and move plants completely out of room ,, sterilize everything from lights to walls to floors everything and repeat 4 days later trust me a person learns quickly quarntining clones or not allowing anyone into there grow room

2000 is not alot lol yeah it is specially perpetual here 1200 rooted clones alone lol not much

Guys what dose did you gove your plants with pyrethrum 5ec? Thanks
