  1. Hello all.

    second time growing and I have/had 3 beautiful ladies that developed an issue. It appeared on new growth only. It looks like sun damage but I’ve also seen pics of mite damage that looks the same. These pics are five days after I first noticed it. I have been treating with neem oil and shading them 1/2 the day. Thanks in advance for your help.

  2. I had a plant do this. Interested to see what it was.
     
  3. Not particularly confident in my diagnosis, but I think it might be thrips. They’ll hang out in the growing tip and chew on the leaves before they’ve expanded, then the leaves expand weird.

    The neem oil should be knocking them down, but if they’re still there, the way to find out is to smack the growing tip on a notepad or something similar- any thrips should be shaken out and will be visible crawling around on the paper.
