SosdogAndMissMuffetstarted grow question 6 years ago
Just noticed that we have small gnat like creatures on our plant. They inhabit the leaves on the top 1/4 of the plant. We plant to harvest in a week or so. Intend to make Cbd tincture with the flowers. Any help i.d.ing these creatures and how to combat them would be appreciated.

Hey there you have a pretty bad case of aphids and it is a bad time to try to treat it since you are close to harvest. I use ladybugs to kill off aphids and most other pests. It will obviously take time to get them and a few days for them to kill the bugs. I wouldnt use insecticide soaps and oils this late. Since you are making a tincture you can use a water hose to wash most of them off but it wont get rid of all of them and can damage some of your trichomes. I would personally either order the ladybugs if you can get them fast or just harvest the plant. Wish I had a quick fix solution for you but pests are harder to treat in flower.

For sure looks like spider mites dude!! 🕷️😱I've never had them so I wouldn't know how to handle it this late in flower?
So sorry mate, i would probably trim the affected areas off and harvest sooner than later because they're going to keep reproducing right?

Spotted crisp leavesWhat's up with these leaves? They've all been spotting up, crisp edges and tips curl. I keep flushing them and it helps. I feed them 1 tsp calmag to each gallon and often the mixture gets diluted as much as half. PH water was 6.2 but soil 4.5. 15" from 70% light.Leaves. Edges burnt

Brown leaves - what am I doing wrong, folks?They look yellow in the photo, under 250W of blue light, but they are brown.
This starts at the tips of the large lower leaves and spreads quickly to the whole leaf.
Also modest edge curl.

Leaves have some spotsMy auto flower has started presenting some spots, it's on week 3. But I've seen these marks since the beginning of week 2, been measuring my ph and everything looks fine. Maybe the super soil is a bit too strong, and it has to get used to it? The lamp is 27 inches away.Leaves. Color - Mottling
