Hoping someone can take a look and help me out here. Problems with bruce banger and super skunk. Wk8 flower. I have rust spots and dimples on the leaves.
  • Indoors
  • Using maxigrow & bloom ph 5.8-6.0 ≈1000ppm
  • Temps are around 78 degrees rh about 30-40
  • Wasn’t using any cal/mag.
  • Flushed with flora kleen
  • Removed a fan that was blowing up at them thought maybe wind burn
  • There are sections that look fine where the fan was not hittng them directly
  • Started using cal mag
  • Added epsom salt every other watering.
  • Rust spots are not powdery
  • I do not see any pests

@thumper60 Noticed the reveg several weks ago super skunk just stalled. Split leaves, 3 finger, and 1 finger. Its growing agan so maybe passed that. Might have left the light on when it should have been off but not sure if that was this year or last year. Also running my lights on at night and off during the day. The room is blacked out. Wonder if this could be an issue?

Bugs and re-vegging. Also, lay off the MaxiGro, you're feeding too much nitrogen. By flower (even by mid veg) the Maxigro isn't needed and should have been tapered off.
Im on maxibloom right now and introduced calmag so im thinking thats the extra N. I wouldnt be us g calmag at this point but was hoping it was a cal or mag issue

To me it looks like the spots you're seeing aren't calcium deficiency but just where the mites, etc. have eaten the leaves and they're tiny dead spots.

Thanks to all of you I appreciate you!! I hadn’t encountered bugs inside yet only been growing a few years so I didn't even consider it. But I have been sloppy this year messing with vegetable garden then coming inside and working on the tent. Or maybe something else anyways my plan is to spray them down with insecticidal soap and go from there? As for reveg could my light schedule be an issue? Running lights at night instead of day time?

Mites are tough in flower. Be careful of what you're spaying with because that'll stay on the flower-mass and most sprays you won't want to ingest.

Running lights day or night does not matter what matters is having consistent light- dark hrs 12-12 check your timer an get in there lights out look for light leaks looks like your reveg was a bit ago?

Any recommendations on what would be the safest at this stage of flower? Would it be better to scrap them and start again?

Was thinking of using safer insect soap or crop defender. Probably crop defender better for this situation

Looks like thrips. Which create a slightly different looking leaf damage than what's in your photos. Mite damage is concentrated around the veins, thrips leaf damage in the area in between and form more trail like patterns. My point is, I suspect you might have more than one type of bug. Also considering the revegging, personally, yea I'd kill it all and clean it like it's a lab and then start over.
