Hey guys check it out. This is a Las Vegas Purple Kush cut that has been under 6500k flos for the past 3 weeks. Approximately a week ago I noticed these white spots. Temps are mid 70s, 20/4 schedule. Growth has been pretty rapid, they are in FFOF.

looks like thrips to me... a type of bug that leaves those white marks where they eat

i had quite a few last season but they don't cause much harm
 
they do cause harm. they will overtake your garden and suck all the chlorophyll out of your leaves, if left untreated.

the pic isn't good enough for me to confirm it's thrips. Chances are high though.

fighting it too, leaves are exactly the same as yours. i used bayer advance and waiting for results. Same soil as well.

good point hahaha... i was thinking in perspective of the other shenanigans going on with my plants since it was a guerrilla ordeal.

anyway Chris, Lowes and home depot both sell an organic pesticide that deals with thrips (if your problem is thrips) quite nicely.. the name escaped me ATM but the bottle is greenish-teal, shouldn't be too hard to find if need be.
a few more pics would definately give us a better chance to help....
good luck with your op!

I'll try to get some better pics up. I hope its not spider mites...Thrips apparently are much easier to deal with lol!


Stress those white dots look much smaller than mine. Mine are larger and look more like gashes in the leaves.(wishful thinking)

Monterey Garden Insect Spray will wipe out thrips if that is what it is. Look at the underside of the leaf for them. They are skinny little bugs:

Here is an example of the scarring that thrips create on a cannabis leaf:

We all hope that they are thrips and not mites!

Good Luck,

It seems like there are different kinds of thrips.. I was also able to control/eliminate mine using neem..
