20141206_104243.jpg 20141206_104220.jpg 20141206_104232.jpg Hey guys,

Have a few plant problems to see if I can get help with.

Haven't posted in a while because I've been away on business and my wife was looking after the garden for a few weeks. I have 3 plants going in hempy buckets (coco perlite mix with straight perlite in the rez).

For water I am using reverse osmosis-- and nutrients they are currently being fed Maxibloom at 1 teaspoons per gallon with magiccal added at 10 ml per gallon.

Ph was 5.9 going in, and last time I watered I checked the runoff and it was 6.2.

Temps are stable. They range from 70-79 and my humidity is between 48-52.

The strains are hashplant and purple kush. The two bigger ones are the PK, all from crop king.

It was going fairly smoothly until last week. I noticed some leaves coming in deformed and the wife thought it was from when she topped them, but recently I have noticed tiny holes in a few leaves and browning in spots.

The hashplant is doing the worst of the 3.

Here are some pictures.

I should also mention, I have been spraying with neem oil the last 2 days right before the lights go out.

Thanks everyone

I think your plants look great. Maybe the beginning of a mg def. Add 1/2 tsp/gal epsom salt.

Some of what I think you're referring to is from rough handling. Like,

1. The 3-4 holes in a line looks like the leaf got mashed on the lip of the container when it was younger and the leaf was at that level.

2. There are some edges of lower leaves that look damaged. Maybe a fan blew on them and they abraded each other as they moved alot?

Damage to young growth will enlarge as the plant grows. In my first grow something nibbled on a growth tip. Three weeks later it looked like something the size of a cat had taken a bite out of it. And, as plants

3. Some of the spots on leaves look like they are from water droplets that magnified light causing burn.

But, but there do seem to be some spots that look less like spots and more like fading between the veins. That's mg def. Sometimes calcium def accompanies mg def. So, the spots could be that. But, they don't look orange enough. (The ones that are larger and look yellow/orange look like water-droplet burn.).

Thanks brother. A lot of what you said makes sense to me. They did have a rough start to their lives so I'm thinking that is playing a part in it, I will add some Epsom salt in the mix tonight when I water.

Thanks for the help!

Looks like something is munching on it. I would be concentrating on discovering what...looks a lot like thrips/leaf miners to me.

I thought the same thing about the smaller spots. But, didn't see the silvery tracking of thrips. (I don't have experience with other leaf suckers.).

What would you recommend for that? I didn't see anything with my loupe and I've been using neem, any suggestions on how to treat correctly?

Any chance this could be caused by fungus gnats? I believe I saw a couple buzing around in there when I was inspecting the plants
