I'm not too keen of the idea of spraying shit all over my buds at this stage

I feel the same way mate, I don't like spraying anything on my plants to be honest, especially in flower and never would..thrips can do some significant damage if they build up enough numbers so best to keep them in check if you can

Hi guys.. back again seem to have found the thrips and blamed it straight on them

Ive attached photo of a leaf I've just plucked.. I've checked for thrips on the underside of the leaf and to no avail i dont have any litter fuckers on it..

It seems to be like necrosis every day i go in more leafs are dying off and this is having a considerable effect on flowering it does only seem to be one of five plants the others seen nice an healthy albeit a little hungry!

Really struggling to get my head around it!

Looks like a calmag deficiency to me.

I thought that also! Tap water PH varies from 7.2-7.6 when i add bloom and grow it drops to 5.8 seems as though I'm having a lock out but like I mentioned only the single plant! It's hard work as i know your not supposed to drench feed cal mag as it kills all the micro nutes.. looks like I'm gonna have to try bottom feed an hope the rootball will take as much of it as poss so it doesn't ruin the medium

How much feed are you using for it to drop your ph like that ?

Them spots look like Mite damage to me . Possible thrips also .

PK can fuck shit up solid too . Calmag also .

Minute amounts mate, 0.5ml.per litre of bloom and I've just dropped the grow completely as couple plants are starting to show N tox but the grow was at 1ml per litre every 3rd watering

Defo no mites Trex, checked and triple checked.. I DO have thrips though I'm currently awaiting some predators as i cant foliar spray, I haven't introduced any PK yet and I did foliar spray cal mag for 2 weeks prior to flip

Cool . Ladybugs will destroy pretty much anything . They do their best work at night . So be sure if your growing autos to lower yoir light schedule a bit . For photos in flower youll be ok on 12hrs . Autos bring it down to 14 hrs for a few nights .
