Hi all,
Ok.......Basically new growth and some of the older smaller growth has big chunks taken out of the leafs..the below pics were taken 3 days ago and the shredding is getting worse although they seem to be growing at the normal rate (done the exact strain before and were cuttings taken off the same mum) I am watching them on a camera and can see the leaves droop a couple of times a day the perk up etc so they are nice and healthy
Before they went into the main area and were in the nursery tent I noticed scaling on on the tops of the leaves and when I looked under a microscrope I could see thrip larvae.
Over 10 days I hit them with 3 different insecticide sprays and also used a smoke bomb on them...I also covered the tops of the coco in washed sand (childrens play sand)
After I did this not long after the below started to happen
Ive been all over the net trying to get some answers but the little info ive found on this basically blame it on every imaginary scenario (pests, diseases, ph, EC, temps, humidity, bad nutes etc etc)
My stats are bang on and have a ph of 5.8, EC 0.8, 27 degrees C temp and about 40-50% humidity)
I have spent literally hours examining them and can see no pests and it would seem my brutal use of pesticides etc has got rid of them...so basically I am 99.9% sure they are pest free (even if they wernt I can think of no indoor pest here in the UK that would basically take chunks out of the plant)
They look the correct colour and are growing at about the same usual rate (same strain, set up and stats as the last spot on run)
They are in coco..I havent sprayed them with anything other than the pesticides
They are getting 400ml of water per 24 hours........
Now if they were to pull through what im concerned about is how does a plant actually grow
What I mean by this is the top you see of say a seedling or cutting the actual main top of a 5 foot plant i.e the main cola and they grow from the base up or.....do they grow in an upwards direction from the top of the plant?...ive googled this but cant get a decent explanation...obviously if the tops are shredded up like this how can they continue to go upwards?
I am ideally looking for someone who this has personally happened to....its not mutaded as such as the structure of the plant is normal its just the leaves getting shredded....
Thanks
