Hi,

In the last week i've started to see a weird pattern on the leaves, i've no idea what it is.

The plants are the 1-2 week of flowering, I've started to give them BioBLOOM and TOPMAX (biobizz)...
I'm growing in my balcony, in the sun.

Please help! :?

Crap, I googled " leaf miners " and that shit looks like the same thing i got here.........

Do you have any idea how to murder/kill/eliminate/destroy those things????????
Can it hurt the plant, flowering in any way?

LOL fuckers indeed, can't blame them though... if i was a leaf miner me self i'd hunt for a nice cannabis plant with loads of THC.... those damn mines are probably way HIGH now...

BTW i still need help getting rid of them.. any ideas?
I saw some suggestions on google but i didn't understand any of them....

THanks...!
 
Ouch, sorry m,an..

nothing out there will kill these eggs n stuff consistently, they really are bad and most chems try to kill the adults and they are often quite harsh chemicals too. Neem oil is the best preventative, apart from that its a case of pulling off everything you can see!
 
To kill them use a product called Azamax and drench the soil, it is a neem based systemic pesticide that will stay in the plant for a couple weeks or even more perhaps so I wouldn't use within a month of harvesting. Don't try to foliar spray them into submission, they are inside the leaves, protected. Remove the infected foliage and flush it. Branchid Wasps and Chalcid wasps can be used for predatory control if you want to overkill it.

Thanks guys, I will look for that oil. I got a good shop over here maybe they'll know what to do (they actually suggested the to spray some organic stuff on the leafs.. but i guess you say it won't work).

You think I should chop those infected leafs or something, till i get a hold of the right product to kill them ?
 
I would, most definately, they will stay on the leaves usually until it is well used, you can rid o big percentage of them by literally pruning it
 
ya ive never had those on my weed plant, but in my backyard i had them get on my pepper plants and i pruned the infested leaves off and sprayed the rest of the plant with neem oil and i havent had the problem since....neem oils proved to be a good product, but dont spray it until either early morning or in the evening, cause since it is oil based it could burn the leaves if its not dry and the sun starts beating down on it... neem oils pretty good for fighting diseases too, like powdery mildew and other common diseases....So i guess just prune those leaves and spray the tops and bottoms of all your other leaves with the oil to prevent them from comin back......

I will run to the shop first thing in the morning to get one!!
 
i had these miners in early veg
nearly killed my plants
when i woke up it was quite late
see, what they do
is they lay their eggs into the leaves. the eggs mine the leaf, eating it and making those patterns. then, as they mature, they drop inside the soil and turn into a pupa. then things calm down, you think they're gone, and 10-14 days after, i think, they sprout as little white flies (if you see one, kill it). then they lay more eggs, and it gets worse. luckily, i got rid of them just in time. I lost 50% of my foliage back then, but my plants recovered. as said here, immediately remove any infected leaf, even just the infected part of it. when you spray with neem oil based (it doesn't kill them instantly but it drives them away eventually - it prevents them from eating the leaf and reproducing) - make sure to give the soil itself a good spray as well.

happy harvest
