I am on my 5th crop indoors at this house and every crop has had this problem. first little white spots and then its all down hill from there. I had them in soil and dwc. under cfl's, MH, and t-5's. I changed nutes on 3 different crops, used distilled water and nutes with trace minerals, left windows open, warm temps/cold temps, moving air and still air. i dont know what else to do. I have had aphids (i think) for some time now and i can seem to shake them but i have used einstein oil and coco wet in the soil, and k+ organic neem spray for the leaves. i also tried safer brand spray. Could it be mold in the house?? any ideas would be great. the seeds are of my own mix and are doing great at a 2nd grow spot. indoor temp is mid 70's day and low 70's night. please help

Im not positive but I think its the first signs of some type of pest attack. Have you tried a pyrethrum-based insecticide.
 
Can you take some pics of the undersides of the plants affected leaves in the highest possible quality please:blsmoke:
 
These are the best pics my camera will take. hopefully it helps.

Get a better look with a scope or mag. glass it appears possibly mites on under sides of leaves. You will see the little bastards clear as day with a mag. glass. Go strong if thats what it is they will destroy you if let them!!
 
yeah I had the same problem and it is mytes. Hard to tell on yours but the spottting looks the same. They hang out underneath and suck up the chlorophil from your leaves. good luck on the battle!
 
Ok pics weren't really good enough for me to do what i wanted to do but i have exploded the image as best as i can and i believe that it is definitely mites.

This enhanced portion of your leaf shows what would appear to be mite damage and mite eggs.

Either use a professional mite killing product or mix up some dishsoap,1 teaspoon per litre,in luke warm water and sponge or cloth carefully all of the leaves on their underside and over side.

After one hour spray down the leaves under and over.
Do this every day for a week.
Do not put the plant back into intensive light whilst it is wet or before you have demisted the soap&water residue off.
 
great, thankx fellas. i have einstein neem oil that i will use to sponge over and under the leaves.
