Hello SleepyBrown, welcome to Growdiaries, I'll just respond in German. First of all, you can see that you're well prepared, which is already very good. You've put the ladies in nice big pots with a "good" loose soil. Those are already the 3 most important points that you've done right. Unfortunately, you have a few "visitors," meaning a few insects. But we can easily get rid of them without harming the plants or other insects. Since you're in the vegetative phase, your means of choice are: 1. a spray solution with nicotine (1 spray bottle filled with filtered nicotine water) cheap and effective!!! ". A spray solution with neem oil... spray bottle filled with water, a teaspoon of neem oil, and a bit of dish soap (otherwise the neem oil won't mix with the water). A spray solution with coriander oil... so something "smelly." Spray the solutions on and under the leaves, and you'll be rid of those pests in no time. Neem oil is a jack-of-all-trades anyway. OR/AND you can plant geraniums, marigolds, and basil in your grow tent, which will also keep the pests away. Personally, I prefer the neem oil spray solution. If you have any questions, just send a PM. If you don't know how this works, just comment here with @Mrs_Larimar, and I'll gladly explain it to you with the PMs. Have fun with your grow, and as I said, just reach out if you have questions!

Hi @SleepyBrown! You're having invaders, it looks like thrip's marks. Those tiny bugs hide onto & below the leaves and suck the nutrients out of our plants, hurting the leaves and slowing down the plant's development if the invasion is massive. They tend to multiply very quickly in hot weather, they hate wind, and moreover they get sterile and die with Neem Oil. So I'd recommend to get some neem oil asap, mix 12-15 drops of pure neem oil in a liter of water, and spray onto your babies at night, when the lights are off. If they're still there after a few days and a few sprayings, you might consider increasing the neem oil doses, or add some soap in your spray for the oil to stick onto the leaves. Keep a good airflow and a slight continuous breeze onto your plant's canopy, this will disturb them and prevent the invasion to spread everywhere. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Cool diary and cool pictures man ! I love the DIY ! Usually, the white dots means bugs, check under your leaves just in case, but i don t think that's the problem for you this time ! Basically only you can know so I will try to help you a maximum. IF its not bugs, then check for soil problems. maybe too much nutes too early actually i see one of your babies has some leaves not happy, a bit too light green. Perhaps it's also your water has not enough calcium inside. Definitely add Cal Mag to the feed. In the end I would say, it's probably just natural, and dont stress. If you stress you make mistakes, so chill and don't panic :-) Good luck with the grow, i will follow ! keep up the cool pics ! 🚀
