What's wrong with my baby? 🍼

Hi @Roon. Welcome to the community! Have you noticed and bugs? Looks like something may have eaten the leave when it was younger. Could also be drops of nutrients that burned the leaf. You can google what bug damage and nutrient burn look like and then compare.

Welcome to the community @Roon , I agree with @aman_rndhw earlier damage from a small drop , or the latter ! But looks healthy! And is she photo- or- auto and the medium?
Led is more some times- take it easy on the nuits!
Happy Growing

Hey guys thanks a lot for your advice!
They were spider mites and I vacuumed the leaves with a small hand vacuum cleaner, that seemed to do it. The white spots haven’t gotten bigger since and no more webbing or black stuff underneath.

I bought some neet oil (or what’s it called) but haven’t applied it yet, might do so if there are signs of the situation worsening.

She’s a fast Eddy autoflower from royal queen seeds. Now I’m confronted with the consequences of limited sun shine and lower temperature we’ve been having the past two weeks. Good thing I smoke like tiny amounts, even a micro harvest will last me like a year or so.

I have another Eddy and, a caramello (vision seeds) in a smaller pot and an og Kush in the same size big pot. I might have overdone it a bit

Oh yeah I forgot, that other fast Eddy didn’t make it…
In case you guys are wondering, this is where she’s at right now

You guys got any tips for the light and temperature situation?

Thanks

PS I’m using the plagron grow box set, but half the recommended quantity

If you’re committed to growing outdoors, you could try to supplement sunlight with a lower wattage grow light for better control of light schedule and for heat, I’d recommend an outdoor space heater if grow light isn’t adding enough heat for the plants to be comfy or if it’s just getting really cold at night

You might want to spray some of the neem oil, just I’m case. The spray won’t hurt the plant and will make sure any thing you missed gets killed as well.

I would stay away from the neem oil completely, new studies have shown that neem oil stays in the plant and the buds will absorp it. The studies show that neem oil is causing Cannabis Hyperemesis, which causes vomiting and paranoia. Plus that stuff is way too strong odor wise, id use something else instead of that, like organocide, which also smelly but nothing has come back on that. Just make sure whatever you spray is sprayed during veg and not flower.

About Neem oil. It says disolve 2 ml per liter water, but oil doesn’t disolve in water…
Any ideas you guys?

Damn, really? Thanks for the heads up!! I’ll investigate surely!!

@Roon

Using a few common household ingredients, you can easily make your own neem oil insecticide plant spray. Pay attention to the Neem oil ratio as well as how to dilute neem oil for plants.

Ingredients:

To make 1 Quart Neem Oil Insecticide spray, you will need:

• 1 teaspoon Neem oil (100% Cold Press Neem Oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon liquid dish soap (Castile soap is preferred)
• 1 qt Warm Water
• Spray Bottle
• Measuring spoons or Dropper

To make 1 Gallon Neem Oil Insecticide spray, you will need:

• 4 teaspoons Neem oil (100% Cold Press Neem Oil)
• 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap (Castile soap is preferred)
• 1 Gallon Warm Water
• Garden Sprayer
• Measuring spoons

Process:

Step 1: Fill a spray bottle with warm water.

Step 2: Add Liquid dish soap to the spray bottle. Gently stir to mix the soap.

Step 3: Add neem Oil to the mixture.

Step 4: Close the bottle and shake the mixture until oil is well combined with the soap mixture.

Step 5: Spray the mixture on the top and bottom of the leaves, shaking the bottle frequently between the sprays.

When and how to apply Neem oil mixture on plants

Does your squash or eggplant have holes on the leaves? Do you see small insects crawling on the tomato plants in garden? Or are you annoyed by the fungus gnats flying over the seedlings that you started indoors? If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the questions or to control any pests that damage your vegetable garden, you need to use neem Oil spray on the infested plants.

Tips for applying the Neem Oil insecticide in your garden:

• Some bugs hide the underside of the leaves. Thoroughly wet both sides of leaves with the spray.
• Neem oil spray should be applied in the morning or evening. Avoid spraying the plants in the afternoon hours and when the temperature is above 80F.
• Oil should have a chance to come in contact with the insect to be able to kill them. Avoid spraying when the rain is expected shortly.
• Don’t store the neem oil mixture as its effectiveness will reduce after 40 minutes of mixing with the water and soap. Discard the remaining oil spray mixture when done spraying.
• Don’t forget to clean the spray bottle or sprayer before storing it. The neem oil residue can clog up the nozzle when dried.
• Start with the above recipe. If there is no improvement after a couple of applications, increase neem oil amount to 1.5 times.
• As a pesticide: To control an infestation, apply the neem Oil spray every 7 days until the bugs are gone. Remember, neem oil is an organic, natural product. It takes time to completely get rid of the bugs. Be patient and continue application every 7 days. Consistency is the key here!
• As a preventative spray: To prevent attacks from pests on your plants, be proactive in applying the neem oil spray. Soak the plants with neem oil spray at every 14 days interval. Avoid the high-temperature days of summer.

Neem oil’s key ingredient, ‘Azadirachtin’, is an excellent insect repellent, but does it work on controlling fungus?

2. How to use Neem oil on plants to control plant diseases:

Not only insects but diseases can also damage a garden. Typical disease symptoms in plants include yellowing or wilting leaves, spots or lesions, stunted growth, and premature death. Many plant diseases are caused by fungi, which can be challenging to control. Bacterial and viral infections are also common. Prevention is key to keeping your plants healthy, as treatment can be complex once a plant is infected. Regular inspection of your plants, prompt removal of diseased specimens, and good sanitation practices will help to keep your garden free of disease.

Is Neem oil a fungicide?

Yes, Neem oil has excellent anti-fungal characteristics. It can help control many fungal problems in the garden, including powdery mildew, blight, rust, Scab, and black spots. When applied as a preventative measure before the plant is infected, neem oil can protect the plant from the fungal diseases for the entire season.

Use ladybugs

Ladybugs are natural predators of spider mites, and they may show up on your weed plants once a spider mite population gets underway. However, the ladybugs are likely to leave as soon as the spider mites have been eaten, so you may need to buy more ladybugs in case a new wave of spider mites, such as the immature ones that survived the initial feeding frenzy, show up.

How do you get rid of spider mites naturally?

The easiest way is to mix one part rubbing alcohol with one part water, then spray the leaves.

Will vinegar kill spider mites?

Mix 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (white vinegar is fine too) with 1 cup of water, 1 table spoon of baking soda & a few drops of mild dish soap into a spray bottle. and then spray it on your marijuana plant.

H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) is what I use to control pest & moulds.. I mix 5ml H₂O₂ with 1Litre water and apply early morning!

Diatomaceous Earth is also a safe natural pesticide.

Shake really good like your trying to emulsify it

That’s the word i was looking for!! Thanks lol

Ladybugs also decimate fungus gnats and let them know not to come back or they’ll eat their family too. Seriously wish I had a video of how bad my fungus gnat issue was. Had to wear a mask opening the tent or I would inhale several the second I opened it. Bought a bag of live ladybugs on Amazon because Safer soap spray didn’t help. Those ladybugs put those insects to rest in a matter of a couple days. They dug up their eggs and everything. Went from hundreds of gnats to zero. Then I rounded up the ladybugs and put them in the fridge. I guess they stay dormant until they get warm again.

There’s tons of products out there, heard bad things about neem oil, tried safer soap… Ladybugs just win. They slap pests straight in the mouth and dgaf. Felt kinda bad though. Like 15 of them got deleted by my oscillating fan

Holy shit man, those gnats we’re re-producing like nimfos in jail.. + They’re so hideous looking, urghh

I caught some in the garden before & popped them in the tent! It’s the best natural weed pest reveller!! My outdoor trees haven’t had 1 bug, mite, Thrisp etc..

Are you serious?? I didn’t know that…

I’m going to start collecting them in jars then!!

Poor things..

I’m busy erecting a “DIY Greenhouse” in my garden. Common sense is telling me I should follow your example!! Im’a chuck a bunch in there & close it off..

I haven’t pulled them out yet to test, fair warning

=

I thought you researched this shit! Hahaha, maybe we’ll both be surprised.. I think it would be beneficial to learn how to farm & breed your own!!

I researched a bit, but nothing in depth. I could pull them out and let you know though haha. At least one… They’ve been in there for like 3 months xD
