leaf problems

I was wondering if there was a defincency that makes your leaves look like there being eaten by little bugs...but a thorough look over and i can't find any bugs at all. I am using 25-10-10 nutes...water accordingly to weight so about every 3 days, plant looks very healthy overall...she is 4 weeks old tomorrow, is about 7" tall with 9 nodes...i can't give a pic sorry...but i hope that someone can help with this.

does anyone have an idea at all?

without a pic it can be very tricky, it might be a magnesium deficiency, can you explain a bit better?

sometimes little bugs make it look like its eaten by little bugs? yea a pic would be helpful...

I recently had a bad case of fungus knats running wild from an outside plant given to me from my girlfriends grandma...i got some organic shit that was expensive yesterday, and transplanted with new fresh nute-free soil with wormcastings i mixed in...looks better today, but some of the leaves i noticed are looking a little deformed as well, mainly the newer ones but not the new new ones, the leaves look like they have been chewed mostly in the middle of 2 leaves, i also had some pretty bad water with a PH of...well the meter didn't go that high...over 8 for sure...but now i have solved that problem as well with some ph down. I just started to give her nutes the other day.

I'm trying to get ahold of my friend so i can use his camera but he won't be home for a bit...as soon as he's home i'll have a pic for ya.

great thanks for the background too.

PH OF OVER 8! Thats way to high, since you've resolved that you should probably start seeing healthy new growth. Your old growth will not recover though...

whoa!!!...I missed that.....pH 8 yea GF...thats a problem....in soil....as long as its below 7 is ok...better even to 6.5-6.7?

soil i would even strive for 5.9-6.4 for optimum nutrient intake. anything between 6-7 will keep you good though.

ya it's at 6.4 now and starting from fresh soil helps alot...but i'm still curious about the way some of the newer leaves are growing...they look like deformed edges but only on a few of them.

its probably just residual damage, it should clear up in the new growth (growing tops)

awsome thanks alot...i tried to provide a pic but all he had was this itty bitty camera that was attached to his key chain...ya no good there...sorry...have to find a better one, and i can't seem to find mine.

no worries, cannabis is alot of hurry up and wait, you'll know in a couple days if your good.

well i found some little spidermites......oh well what's a quick soloution...since tomorrow is sunday nothing really open...and there destryoing my baby

that was my first assumption... ugh, gives me chills thinking about it... there are some natural remidies, to some searches online...

hey i found a nice little reference chart for diagnosing different plant problems. check it out.

I would use safer's spidermite care for household plant spray. they sell it at my local walmart but being winter it hard to get stuff like that up north. It would depend on your location. I have also found that a mixture of chili pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a spray bottle also works well.

as always fast replys and good solutions....MOST of the time...lol...for now i just used some soapy water and rubbed EVERY single leaf...lol, that took a little time...but tomorrow i'm off to find something that's good for killing those lil bastards. Note to self...DON"T ACCEPT ANYMORE PLANTS FROM LITTLE OLD LADIES...kidding, she's a very sweet lady, which reminds me she has another one for me as well...it's a clone...not of pot plant...my god that would be funny to see...anyways i will make sure it has NO BUGS at all before i even bring it into this house...never had problems with my other plants untill that one she gave me came here.

neem oil. It will kill the little bastards pretty quick and it's organic. It's not going to kill their eggs though, so keep it up on a weekly schedule for awhile. You could get some stuff that kills the eggs too, but it's a shit ton of money.

I'd get neem oil...but i can't get it here...so i'll have to find something else.
