Something eating my plants + discoloration

So i've got 5 Heribei and 2 Mad Shacks, both from Sannies seeds. I germed em about two months ago, would have liked to have em in the ground by now, but funds are pretty low. Anyway, I started indoors and moved outdoors about two weeks ago. As far as nutrients go, none thus far. I have em in Roots soil and was going to go with Subcools super soil mix to put them in the ground.

Well, about a week ago I noticed that something was starting to eat on my girls. So i went down to the local greenhouse and they directed me to some organic pest killer. Everything was all fine and dandy for six days. I go out there today and this is what I see. More holes in some of their leaves and some discoloration as you can see. I pulled them back inside imediately and they're under my 400 watt right now until i figure out how to remedy the problem.

This is my 4th grow, 2nd outdoors, and pests were never a problem for me before, and i've never really seen discoloration like this either. What do I need to do to get rid of the pests and what do I need to do with nuts at this point? HELP!!!

Thanks

check for bugs, caterpillars, and whatever else, look under the leaves. everyone has a different way of fighting bugs. neem oil seems to be pretty popular, i used some stuff called ´safer´ for vegetables, sadly, its slow to work as it doesnt kill the bugs, it kills the eggs or something, either way, its your choice, lots of options there

the discoloration looks like something i get sometimes on a few of my leaves, i just up the micro nutes a bit, and everything works out fine. check your pH and make sure its not off, micro nutes have a hard time getting in if it is.

Alright, so i checked the ph, it's right at 7. Within the normal range, correct? If not, can i correct the soil ph by using hydroponic ph up/down?

So the condition on my leaves seems to be getting progressively worse. One other heribei also shows signs. Both that have the discoloration are heribeis.

I read up a little bit and it looks like the early stages of Mg deficiency. I really have no idea though. Anybody able to diagnose these ladies?

Also, i got a product that is 70% neem oil for the bug problem. Is this gonna work fine?

my guess would be you got sum inchworm, my buddies crop last summer was completely obliterated by them. like caterpillars just smaller and harder to see, but it looked just like that, and i agree on the magnesium def. around the leaves

next time remember it easier to prevent then to fix..... I would go with nick and pick up the safer soap... I've used it and it seems more for prevention but it u start them off with it then u wont have a problem... have u researched azamax? that seems to be pretty popular with killing the bugs.

Thanks you guys. Whats best for Mg deficiency? Ive heard cal-mag before

Cover the basics i guess, You could flush it out, use pesticides(very recomended), Dont use so much fertilizer if you do.

Put some dolitinasus earth around base of plant should mess bugs up bad that are looking to crawl up and feed on leaves I had a bad problem with pincher bugs eating leaves off now there gone

Im not using any ferts at all, just whats in the soil.

The neem oil seems to be working well. No new damage
