I'd say mites mate. If I were you I'd order sum floramite and avid for £28.99 +£3.00 postage and packaging from ebay floramite will kill all mites and larva with 1 application. Use AVID when you first get new cuttings then use floramite when your ready to flower. Its systematic so will protect your plants up to 28days after the application. No brainer really !

i dont think its mites cos if it was other plants that touch this one and are close to it wud be affected as well, tbh i was more thinking it was the start of powdery mildew, and after googling images i think i might be right, another reason i dont think its an infestation is there is no sign of any pests in the tent and i clean it regularly to prevent just that

 

[shawnybizzle]

You've got a scope aint ya Gaz? If u have check all over them leaves just to see if it is mites first tbh I'm not too sure mate...the leaves do look a bit dry tho. Get some bio bizz leaf coat for your veggies its pretty good stuff

Ooh dear pm is suppose to be pretty bad! Contaminated clone?? If u can't get rid of it is get it out your room mate

Pm will not stripe your leaves like that believe me spidermites will. Just looked at your picture blown up and id say 99% sure it is the fuckers no matter how carefull or clean your room is you ll most likely run in to them sooner or later. Act now before you do have an infestation believe me it put me back a few weeks not so long ago!

 

[Garybhoy11]

i'll get the scope out and have a good close look and see what i can spot, i hope to fuck its not mites cos my local shop aint open till after new year to get anything for it,

 

[exodus0408]

Gary if I were you I would'nt even entertain your local shop you can't buy floramite or avid from them plant vitilaty+ used to be the next best thing to those but it was took off the shelf and now its just a rip off version. The only place ill be ordering is ebay fast and reliable service. Look the stuff up you ll be surprised at what it gets rid of.

 

[exodus0408]

Sorry mate I lied it £18.99 + £3.00 hear is the dealer http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=261343536091

 

[Garybhoy11]

heres a cpl better pics without the flash on, ive had a good look with my 60x scope and defo no sign of any mites, i still think its PM

 

[ghb]

congrats gary you have thrips.

aint no getting rid of them, at least for me. i got rid of mites and botrytis but the thrips although controlable are hard bastards.

if i use plant vitality+

it gets them off that particular plant for more or less life ( mothers may take a spray every 2-3 months).

i think it is banned now, i have half a bottle left and i don't know what i'll use when it runs out.

 

[exodus0408]

The stuff ive just posted up will sort out your thrips problem ghb like I said twice as good as plant vitilaty+.

 

[zeddd]

ahm doin me , ahm doin me....good tune.for ya.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lTB1pIg1y0&list=RDbOEvBlNI-wc

Please don't go buy this stuff its a rip off version of the real stuff you can still buy that from grow shops as its marked as a cleaning agent but its useless as its not mixed correctly. If you can buy the plant vitilaty in the silver bottle and is no concentrate then that's the stuff you want

 

[ghb]

i used it, it made my plants go green and stopped insects living in them so i don't see how you come to that conclusion.

have you used it?

 

[Garybhoy11]

well after further investigation a little googling and another check of my plants i have to say GHB was right 1st off, its defo thrips, and on closer inspection they have started to spread to my other plants in the tent just not as bad as the exo yet, its gonna be tuesday b4 i got cash to order anything to sort it, are these sprays safe to be used on flowering plants? as i dont wanna fuck the buds up, and after losing my last grow to males i dont wanna lose this one now to bugs, my luck this year has been fucking dreadful roll on 2014.

yes I've used the real and con ghb believe me the con is nothing on the silver bottled plant v+ its labelled as cleaning agent go check it out i'm no fool to the power of the real stuff 1 application and it'll kill all it was taken down because it kills bees and marine life. If you've a infestation the black coloured bottle stuff will not knock them down like the silver bottle would of as I said floramite is the stuff of dreams I've yet to use avid which is 4 times as strong as floramite but is'nt systematic !!

I've used most and they are rip offs.

not the end of the world gary, if i tell the truth a lot of my girls in the past have had them, they stay off the resin but will suck the life out of your fan leaves if conditions are right.

i don't spray plants with resin on them with anything so in the past i would leave them to it, you can see some of the leaves have thrip damage on this girl, she still produced ok, the very worst thing about having thrips is just the thought of them being on your plants, at least for me it was, as i said it didn't stop me like the spider mites did!.

a few months ago i sprayed every plant i had with the plant vitality and haven't seen any since, i also treated the room with a pyretheum spray a couple of times in case they were living in there.

ive still got almost 7 weeks till harvest do u think they will be ok till then? its the same for me m8 its the thought of them in my plants and that i might end up smoking a few of them thats putting me off lol, but if they dont fuck the plants too much and wont severely damage my yield then i'd happily let them go this time as its mostly for sale anyway and when i chop i'd disinfect both tents and all equipment to eradicate the problem

if you can stop them getting a hold you stand a chance, if they have set up shop, they're a fucker to get rid of. A spray for the upstairs pytherin and neem i used and a bottle of h202 to do the rootzones with, breaking the cycle of adults to larvae is the trick like.

i'm fighting fungus gnats at the moment. honestly i thought mozzies chewing the leaves was about the worst thing you could have happen until now i've seen them muching roots.
