Here's my little 'Green Crack' (what the dispensary told me it was, but it's clearly not a sativa), she's starting to dry out and whither a little on some nice fresh leaves, and I'm not sure why. I haven't seen any signs of insects, but damage that severe seems like it could only be done be a caterpillar or something large. Also, some of the older leaves tend to get a rusty colored spotting.

I'm using Happy Frog soil, bontanicare CNS17 grow and general organics bloom. She's under a 400watt MH (been on 12/12 for about 4 days). I use tap water also, and I honestly have no idea what my pH is.. But I'm starting to think it might be a contributing factor to my issues.

id spray them with neem oil or oregano oil just to be sure its not spider mites, i maybe see some webbing. its a good preventative and it makes the leaves greener anyways i think it locks in moisutre to the leaves. the 4th pic looks nice dude
 
Hey, thanks for the reply man! I'll pick some up tonight when I head out to the hydro store, gonna snag a pH tester too. This is really a problem I'd like to correct before it compromises my yield.
 
So I believe thrips are my problem, all the symptoms sound spot on like what I'm encountering. Though I've yet to see a single one, I hear those fuckers are tiny. I do however see lots of TINY black specks, barely big enough to see with the naked eye, and even through my 100x magnifying deal, I can't really make out any shapes but I'm assuming it's poop.. Looks similar to the budworm poop I've had on my outdoor plants, but a fraction of the size. So something was clearly eating my plant and shitting all over it whilst gorging itself. So I gave her and her clones a nice top to bottom, bottom to top spray down with the neem oil with a few drops of dawn dish soap, hopefully she'll be back on track and kicking ass. I appreciate the help!
