I'm seeing spots

[greencalyx]

I have a bunch of spotted leaves. More spots on lower leaves and less as you move up.

I used to spray the plants with FOOP foliar 1-2 times a day, and thought this may be causing the spots, so I stopped a 2-3 weeks ago. But I think I'm starting to see it a bit on the newer growth.

Does this look like a deficiency? Or maybe some kind of disease/pest. I don't see any critters...

Just got up potted from a half gallon to a 3 gal pot a couple weeks ago, so I wouldn't expect any deficiency

I'm not sure but I'm thinking calcium deficiency someone should come along who knows for sure. But I got to post this video

Hit them with some neem oil sheck your local hardware store
When you get a chance try Amazon for a 60x magnifying pocket loupe for 10$

Stippling: One of the earliest signs of spider mite infestation is stippling. This appears as tiny, pale spots or speckles on the upper surface of leaves. These spots result from the mites piercing plant cells and sucking out their contents.

without a loupe and guessing

this is mite damage^^^


Someone on a forum one time told me submerge a clone in water for I
dont remember how long...but he said that will kill every one on the plant.
Better get a bug bomb and hit the room if thats what it is
Go for the loupe and a positive ID

What do you think it is? Mites

Took me awhile to put some edit together,
Theres the spots and the odd texture theres one other thing it looks like with the leaf texture
but the spots....might be
Only ones I have ever seen was spider mites round here and the web makes them a easy id and red color
Two spotted and broad mites with a loupe looking under and on top leaves would give a better id
You know with lights on bugs prefer the undersides of the leaves some times

 

[Old Piney]

I grow organic outside so I really don't have these problems. I do know spider mites are a pain in the ass with my house plants with the dry heat in the winter now that I think about it they did have these spots

I don't think it's insects, do you feed your plants calmag...the leaves look a bit clorotic and the browning of the lower leaves is a sign...not saying you may not have bugs but look at your feed first...pH, do you track it...

I have a loupe somewhere. I just moved recently, and have know idea where I put it, lol. I'm definitely gonna look for it and get a closer look.

This is a deep chunk clone, so the leaves can have a pretty unique look to them with the texture and the ridges, just due to genetics.

I'll try to find some neem tomorrow, too

You locked her out. Check the run off PPM and PH

I have very hard water. Mostly Calcium, I think. I had lockout issues in the past, so now I water and mix nutes with half and half tap water and distilled.

Not sure of magnesium, however, and that was one of my thoughts as well. I gave a Epsom salt foliar spray yesterday

I haven't checked pH in a while. My feed usually brings it to about 6.5. I did notice some very very slight twisting leaves (like pH issues cause) so I'll be checking runoff tomorrow

 

[Boo]

you're not in immeadiate danger but you're on the right track...check the little things, could be nute lockout too...I'd find that loupe and check things out...

Grab a magnifying glass and turn the leaves upside down and you will see them moving if you have mites. You can see them moving and eggs with the naked eye as well if you look carefully. It looks more like improper watering cycles or feed by the pic.

What kind of water are you using friend?

 

[greencalyx]

What kind of water are you using friend?

I'm using 50% distilled and 50% tap water for minerals. The tap water is super hard by itself

 

[Dime]

I have a well and installed a dissolved solids and a charcoal filter .I brought mine down to 140 ppm which is close to our municiple numbers and it works fine and saves replacing the taps.I'm in the process of letting Reliance install a complete system at the pump for $30 a month and let them worry about it.

Spider mites

 

[SubGirl]

I would check under the leaves with a scope for mites or thrips just to be safe. If you don’t see webbing it’s prolly not spider mites so that would be good.

 

[Putembk]

You should be able to see the with your naked eye if you look closely under the leaves.

Just looking at it, this could be 1 of 5 possibilities:

- Calcium deficiency
- Calcium lockout
- Insect infestation
- misapplication of synthetic nutrients (they're crispy)
- Any combination of the above

The extra information that is needed is:

- medium used
- nutrients used
- their pH and EC or PPM

UPDATE - Post 14

"I'm using 50% distilled and 50% tap water for minerals. The tap water is super hard by itself"

An alternative is to let the water stand outdoors or near the plants for a couple of days. When chlorene, which is alkaline, evaporates, it lowers both the pH and the EC or PPM of the water.

Usually pH down won't even be necessary, considering most nutrients are acidic anyway.

Thats s good point, most of my grows are organic. Hydro nutes are usually premixed A,B,
I even prefer a organic fert tank for dripping inorganic soiless peat, coco.

Salts or Organics is a good place to start
Theres a great "science" paper on cannabis nute defiency its been posted before...
They took cannabis plants and each nutrient think it was 12 in total..
They pictured the leaf as they removed a single nutrient at a time until it caused a plant response.

They also listed a low/high range of each nute defiency burn for the tested varieties interesting read.
