Hmm.. bugs?

So, im getting ready to flip my first run in a few years, and somethings starting to happen to a few of my possible keepers.. Got a small area that’s packed, on the hunt so I can get the show back on the road. First thought was a def or possible lockout starting to happen. Could spider mites cause this? I would like to rule out everything before I go running gallons through her, I’d rather not if I don’t have too. My cat had gotten outside for 3 weeks a while ago and his litter box is in the lung room. I have seen the occasional fungus gnats. I know there were some lower fan leaves that looked weird a while back but nothing real bad. I have found a couple little black specs under leafs as I just started hunting them down. No webs or major groups that I see yet, but this is number 2
Ps, first time using these new LEDs and I give them a epsom shower every now and again, so you may see some residue.
Appreciate any help.

edit: just passing the 2 month mark, all seed

I wouldn’t worry too much about the raised edges if that’s what you’re talking about. the plant looks really good overall and there’s no need to make any sweeping changes cuz whatever you’re doing is working well. as far as pests, I’d just recommend a preventative routine of your choosing if you aren’t already and that’ll rule out pests if it were to continue. regularly checking ph in and ph out would be a great way to get ahead of any possible lockout issues as well. nothing to worry about right now though, happy trails I hope you grow many pounds!

Dammit I didn’t notice the torn lookin leaves, unless you happened to tear those by accident it’s probably something eating away at them. definitely start pest control measures either way

Ya, that and the yellowing from inside of all the new growth going outwards, like its being drained? Initially chalked it up to a feeder cricket for my chameleons and an older plant in veg starting to use up N and pre-flower. Doesn't look bad under normal lights, but under the LED 301b's, they look yellow. Anyway im pulling everything out and going through, spraying them down with 1:1 iso alcohol, and gonna do a tent clean. Shes the worst looking one as far as the yellowing goes, but its packed in there. As I said im hunting my new keepers, so this is untopped. just bent a couple times. Got a 30ish that look like this. I did fairly decent back in the day with a HID, but these LEDs are killing it and im trying to adjust. Maby its time for co2?

I'll quarenteen anything that does not look right of if I see actual webs or multiple specs or anything like that. I guess that means I gotta make a Veg room now. Appreciate it homie

That’s a good way to go my dude, are you sure that’s not too strong on the iso? depending on what led you got, I’ve found it’s usually better to start higher up with the dope leds. Good luck with that you’ve caught it at the perfect time to completely turn it around which is great.

they're about 32" above canopy, 240-300's on half power. I went 70% iso, I havent read anyone having a problem but have to stay ontop of it I guess. Been lurking here for 9 years now. Finally posted cause im getting nervous.

After the big separation(2 new “rooms”), no major bug problem. I believe she might be locked out. I let her dry up and gave a heavy RO watering with roots organic cal mag sulfur + recharge. If she doesn’t start greening up I assume it’s flush time? Never seemed to have problems in the past with HID lighting, but these plants under the new high end LEDs are something else. Maby I messed up and grabbed the wrong water bucket last week...?normal house water is 6,5ph 150ppm, not sure about chloramines etc because I recently moved in. I have been watering on and off with normal tap that’s been sitting out and RO w/ roots cal mag+recharge on water only days. Out of 34, some have this issue, some don’t.
