Looks like thrip damage and/or a macronutrient deficiency yeah.

What kind of help did you want? I hear @Porky82 is an expert on this.

thanks, what would you recommend for aphids? Is neem oil enough?

Sure, all kinds of issues really, every now and then.

I use products based on pyrethrin and rapeseed (canola) oil myself - only in veg - but others seem to have success with neem.

I think if you show this thread start to your pests they will die of laughter, I know I just did (yes I identify as a pest, and your antivirus can't deal with me)

Agreed re thrips I use a combo of smoke bombs, Scott’s bug clear, a layer of sharp sand on top of the pots and a ladies tights over bottom of pots. The latter steps prevent them from getting in the medium and hatching. Can’t hurt to regularly spray neem either

Porky lighten up mate and welcome to IC

Keep a magnifier and look closely at any spots you see. If you don't see any pests do a pour thru, catch the runoff, and check the pH and EC. If you are using tap water you may need to lower the alkalinity of the water.

Here it is,you fucking red spider

What is the difference between spider mites and two-spotted mites?

The two-spotted mite (TSM) is a spider mite, producing fine silk webbing similar to that produced by spiders. It has piercing mouthparts to feed on the contents of individual leaf cells. As TSM numbers increase, infested leaves exhibit characteristic symptoms of yellow speckling. Google
The two-spotted mite is hard to get rid of.

 

[hornbostel69]

Ohhh shit
so mine, also considering the yellow stains, should be the most difficult to fight...
and war be damned

thanks for the explanation

 

[hornbostel69]

it's amazing how much strength this little fucking bastard has

Duplicate photo from one of my threads. These little things move fast. Some immediate management… I knocked them off into a cup of water.
Researching solutions and the damage is a match. Also wish to identify the pest.
