Okay so what started at a seed Girl scout cookies (OGXF1 Durban) Week 1 and 2 days into flowering. 1000watt hps 4x4x8 grow box, proper ventilation. FFOF 80%/coco coir 20% 5 gallon pot. House and gardens aqua flakes Greenlight superbloom 1/8 strength. M.o.a.b. very light Rapid root very light Superthrive drop a gallon I'm having these little dots with semi dry fan leaves, doesn't look like mites to me and I've looked through magnifying glass and microscope. Here's the pic. Doubt the last pic helps just only other pic I had. Thanks guys and girls
Those are chlorotic veins, that may help you with your search, did you say it's starting on the bottom foliage?
The only things it can really be if it is starting on the bottom as far as nutrition would be N,P,K, Mg, Fertilizer burn. I can tell you it's not N,P, Mg or Fertilizer burn so your left with K. K ratios could be off from too much Calcium or Magnesium (CalMag)? It could also be Tobacco Mosiac Virus. If you smoke cigs you need to wash and sanitize your hands before touching your plant or the water supply or anything really.
Okay so in my veg box I found some dead ants black ants that is, and yesterday I found a red glossy bug I looked through microscope and couldn't identify it but 6 legs and a little claw/pincher in front but doesn't have a thorax. Only one bug on the tip of the leaf and was dead. I ordered two new boxes imma clean my whole area. But I'm seriously worried
The leaves are getting progressively worse but I don't 0hysically see any bugs on it even through magnifying glass or microscope
Many insects (including aphids) secrete what's called "honewdew" it's a sugar that attracts ants. Those ants are used as a sign (not a symptom) that you have aphids.
To me the problem looks abiotic though. Usually with abiotic or non living problems in a plant you'll see a pattern whereas biotic (living) pests such as insect and disease leave random marks or patterns on the leaves.
Thanks. There's a pretty large amount of ants like I sweeped and 2 days later a shit load but there all day only in vegging box. But they are all DEAD. Why are they dying and why only veg? Think it's the higher humidity?
Not sure, never had that problem, I keep my grow room cleaned and sanitized. I would freak out if I saw an ant and scrub everything down with 10% bleech solution or disinfecting wipes. Moving the plants away while doing so ofcourse.
Look just got home from work, here is updated pics. Girl scout cookies and blue dream next to eachother Blue dream My clones in vegging Thanks and I just bought a new flowering box and vegging box, so when they arrive I'm going crazy on the clean up and make better effort to maintain a cleaner area.
And I honestly can't find bugs and if I did it was one but it was dead and I've been looking up and down these plants with both the microscope and magnifying glass.
