ok. so as some may know i had a thrip issue earlier in this grow...spinosad was suggested and it worked perfectly...cleaned them out. weeks later i have a NEW strange problem i have not read about nor have i ever seen before.
let me start out by saying im growing white berry...3 weeks into flowering...fox farm triple line-up of nutes (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom)...ocean forest soil...etc.
i noticed these tiny red spots all over some of the leaves on 2 out of 5 plants...the spots are VERY small (i almost didnt see them). i pulled out a 30x microscope and didnt see any type of bugs/mites...nor did i find any webs (spidermites).
im not saying ITS NOT a bug but from what i can tell there isnt any...however to make extra sure i used more spinosad tonight @ lights out. they havent gotten any for about a week. in fact i only used it twice...once when i found my thrip problem and again so many days later to ensure i killed the babies (if there were any as i only counted 20 thrips between 5 big plants)
here are some pics of my leaves...the look very strange. havent fed plants since saturday so i doubt its nute related (in my experience nute burn shows itself in 1 to 2 days tops)
so what could this be? i looked up all the different nute issues (looked up pics of each regular plant issue) and couldnt find anything that looked similar really.
sorry for the poor quality.
originally i thought spider mites (because of the patten) but the color of the spots is different and not all the plants are hit with this...infact its only a handful of leaves on 2 of the 5 and its not on the top or bottom...its bothering leaves in the MIDDLE of the plant.
any ideas???
