Ok... My girls (clones) have been in rock wool for only 8 days. Most of them started showing some gold on their leaves the first couple of days. I figured they were just adjusting. Then, this morning as I noticed that their new leaves are a healthy green, but 3 of the plants have webs! I'm freaking out because they've only been here a week or so. What can I do to address the issue without compromising them so early in the veg stage? Any feedback or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

There are tons!! of sprays and organic sprays you can make or buy; browse RIU a bit - this has been a common issue for many! GL

It sounds like a mold issue here, remove them from dome. Get a small fan to. This is mold on this cola.

Thanks for the quick response... I found brown spots under the leaves of some of them... any suggestions as to how to determine whether its a bug or mold? Or is there something on the market that will address both possibilities?

Weak azamax spray. 3 days apart. A no pest strip will kill em too. Exhaust off at lights out.

Spider mite webbing in 8 day old clones sounds pretty unlikely. I've had pretty major mite break outs (2 spotted) and still didn't have webs. I would consider maybe a normal spider made a home there as they can put up significant webbing over night. Not that it isn't cause for concern, because a spider will make a home there only because there is an active food source like other bugs.

Check the underside of the leaves with a 30x or better zoom/scope and see what's going on.

Hi guys... I did a treatment of Neem Oil (with Dutchmaster saturater) and havent seen anything in the last couple of days. I figured out that they may have come through one of my fan holes (i am in a rural location) that I never filtered off. So, I fixed that and will do another treatment tomorrow or the following day then once a week for most of the harvest. The girls look great and I am just going to keep a close I out and push forward. Thanks for the replies... I really do appreciate it. kiss-ass
