The infamous white spots. NEED ADVICE!

Strain: og kush
Soil: fox farm ocean forest
Nutrients: metrop
ph: 7 - 7.2
Light Source: the sun
Current Temps: 85-92 degrees
Humidity: 30%


So I have these white spots on many of my leaves (see pic). I'm not sure if its spider-mite damage, nute burn, or damage related to high ph levels(excess chlorine in water, perhaps). Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Looks like mites

crap...I hope there's another explanation!

just sprayed them with pesticide. is spinosad good for killing mites?

probably mites, if your picture was showing under the leaf we would see the mites or their eggs

Doesn't exactly look like mites. If you flip the leaf over you would be able to see little dark spots that move, if it were mites.....I would like to see a pic of the whole plant and of the new growth also.
Out side you say? Hmm.

maybe thrips? Research using SM-90 as a solution. It works for powdery mildew and a few other pests.

Is that a tan colored spec in the last picture an egg?? its under some of the leaves.

could be an egg bottom line you got spider mites, but you probably got a small infestation going on right now? idk i hope so i remember i used some soap n water seem to help also used magnify glasses and Q-tips to smash everyone i seen lol call it taking care of my babies lol killed them tho haha Good luck dude!

If it is mites.............The best most effective solution is Forbid 4F......Look to Ebay for small more affordable amounts!

Azamax with Neem oil...

Learn the life cycle of mites.

Lots of people will say "Ohh the mites built a tolerance to azamaz or this or that" that they used in under 2 weeks....

It's because that's the life cycle of mites and their eggs. Mites are not a 1 time spray 'em and forget 'em problem in the outdoors.

For future plantings, try to plant a "decoy" that the mites would be more attracted to than the plant you want to "take home and keep". Use a plant that mites LOVE, make it weak by under feeding it a little, or stressing it out, making it susceptible to mite infestation.

Also, look around at other plants THIS year.... in other areas or in the same, look at the land scape, look at plants you see, are some carrying mites and in large quantities? IF yes, you don't want to plant there, NEXT Year. because chances are, that spot is a spot that mites like...

I notice this problem with some of the wild flowers around my house, mites always come back to the same spot year after year and attack the same plants year after year.
