  1. so most of my leaves have little white spots on them, is it mold..if so is it fatal?Ive been using tap water, think the spots are from the chlorine?
    can anybody tell me what this is please.(sorry, i have a shitty camera)[​IMG]
     
  2. its hard to see.. but are they spider mites?? it could possibly be mold.. how about some better pics
     
  3. it's very difficult to see from those pictures, but White spots aren't really associated with nute disorders.
    White spots could indicate the presence of mites or thrips

    They will be visible on the underside of the leaves.
    The white spots are where they feed on the leaves, so look at your spots carefully, & as they are made up of lots of little spots i would say it is mites or thrips?

    check it out with your magnifyer & look very carefully at they spots & see if you have any creepy crawlies. (i think you will have:()

    so if so do this, (from a friend on another site,thanks bud;))
    • Take a misting water bottle that has the trigger on it.
    • Cover just the bottom of the bottle with dish soap (I use the orange anti-bacterial kind)
    • Fill 3/4 with just tap water
    • fill remaining 1/4 with white vinegar
    • shake gently, not too much though or you will have lots of bubbles, lol
    • spray all over your plants, under the leaves and the top of the soil until a light coating is on there (don't get it sopping wet)
    • leave on at least a few hours or over night
    • spray off all the plant ( I do this with clean water in the spray bottle)
    • bugs gone, shiny leaves.
    Good luck, this does work.:smoking:
