Actually, think my Creme de la Creme is actually budding, not preflowering. Weird, have two from same seed pack, one budding one not....
And holy crap, a double Grape Stomper x 3 Bears is budding as well. I believe these two are actually in flower...

Anyone have an idea what is making these spots? Is like sucking the green out and leaving a brown spot(s)

Hey guys, sorry havent been on much this year... life's been way too busy with work, kids, etc. I'm sorta taking the year off from growing and only put two plants in the greenhouse this year, Silky Johnson and OG Kush .. I've been growing them indoors since about late february and I just put them in the ground on Memorial Day weekend. I only go out to the greenhouse once a week or so and water ... i just supercropped them a couple days ago and theyre still rebounding and look like shit

I read through the whole thread and it looks like you guys are off to a great start though ... one of the things I've noticed is a few of you guys have plants already in flower .... unless they're auto's those are very likely flowering prematurely and probably from going out too early ... I've never had any luck in the past finishing plants that flower prematurely and typically get rid of them at about this point ... I've always ended up with shaggy, larfy plants that flower prematurely like that ... beginning today every day has a little bit less light than the day before but it's still not too late to start others though .. they won't be huge at harvest but they'll still be pretty damn big

keep up the good work, I'll check in from time to time

I know nothing but my gut says plant health on the spots, not necessarily bug/pest related. Almost like the plant has chicken pox (disease) like how people get spots when our immune system is fighting something. So maybe think the antibiotic route? Clearly the slugs are a fan of the plants as there's a couple in the photos so maybe the rootzone health isn't the best. That or you sprayed WD40 too close to the plant and it burnt some leaves haha

Hey ya Stealth! Ya good to see you. So you think that the budding plants are gonna be junk and I should scrap them?
I started April 16th, and put outside like 5 weeks later, a week before memorial day? So I can't imagine they are from premature putting outside. Perhaps if autos, would they still need to be scrapped? They just look so damn healthy.
I did pinch one or both, not sure if that triggered it...
Sigh.
But I will take the advice. Instead of the graveyard, I will pass them along to a friend where I'll be able to see what happens as it goes.
Thanks for the intel....
One more question, what if I made some clones off them, would this be viable?
Thanks again Stealthfader.

It's a leafhopper, not a disease. The green is sucked out in a circle and it's definitely a bug. Since BT only works on paterkillers and worms, I'm gonna try and locate and eradicate. That's my strategy, I might try and hook up a time lapse camera to catch it. Something tells me I need to be out there at night to catch em

Good luck, i alternate neem and spinosad but still get the spots.

slugs have been murdering my little plants... anyone have a good solution? i put a bunch of cuttings into soil in the shade to root and preserve and slugs have decimated most of their leaves... spraying BT seemed to work at first, maybe i just need to make it more regular... the eggshells seem like a good idea however, i rarely eat eggs so itll take a bit for me to acquire a pile of them

Miller Swimmig pool. Cut the top off a 1 litter plastic soda bottle, leave about 6" tall. Bury the bottom so the opening is level with your soil. Pour in a couple inches of beer, slugs can't resist. They fall in and drown in a pool of liquid happiness. Best method I've used. If your using containers, check the bottoms. Locate and eradicate.
