Hi, I have one plant ( THC Bomb ) with some white spots on many leaves. Thought it might be powdery mildew but the spots don't rub off at all. They appear to almost be bleach spots. Here are pics.
Plant is 6 weeks, 2 days into flower. It has been dosed early in veg and early in flower with SM-90. Don't see webs or bugs of any kind. Temp range is 84-74. Humidity usually 35-40%. Plant reeks like like its resin, but no Trichomes on some effected leaves. First time I have seen this. I do see some nutrient burn on a few leaves. Help

I can't see anything wrong with the pics besides that its lights on. Get those temps down to at least 75-78F.
 
The white dots are bug damage and it will get worse. The black dots are bug shit or mites. If its bug shit its thrips. this is thrip damage

Those are clearly trichomes. He should let that plant thrive. He should take cuts and stop worrying about "white spots". White spots are a good sign. You are just being superstitious. Spidermites-Schmidermites.
 
Tough call They might make it till harvest but its only going to get worse.you really don't want to spray your buds. Is your room sealed? Is it located near a living space that you frequent?

Pin please get glasses
 
...lol.

I'm wondering how to distinguish between trichome "white dots" and pest "white dots." In fact, all i can see in those pics is trichs. Either Pecker's got pilot-vision, or a severe pest phobia.

edit: the black dots (or holes?), however, are definitely not trichomes, just to clarify.

It's obvious he has severe pest phobia. You should always encourage cobweb growth if you want some real dank dank.

IOW: "if you're not infested, your plants suck." Might be sound reasoning. ^^

But seriously, those look frosty as hell... but kinda... clumpy, i guess, on the leaves. Is that the "white dots" we're supposed to see? The black dots are clear enough i guess...

Maybe do a thorough cleaning of the surrounding area (and yourself), and stick your face in your plants for a while, and just watch. If your lamp's too bright, turn it off an hour early (or on an hour late) and just chill in natural/regular light, and try to get a visual on the actual pest. Look everywhere, over, under, between, around... if you have an infestation, you should be able to find a cluster of bogeys somewhere, or at least one visible culprit.

But that "lights on" pic takes on a sort of monochrome effect, makes all the colors too similar, and doesn't provide enough contrast to get the clearest look.
