Bugs? Funghi? Help me!There are some white spots at the base of my stem, and I noticed that lady #1 haves some red/purple stems. 5min into Google and I'm already panicking here. Things that I read that made me worry: Scales, Fusarium, root rot and other fungi life. Should I continue freaking out? 😶6y ago

Which pests do this?Exactly what pest does this kinda damage? I have my guess, but wanna get other growers' opinion on this type of yellowing of leaves and brown spots. 6 weeks into veg. It started very early on at bottom leaves, once I trimmed them this brown spots appeared on top growth.Leaves. Color - Dark-brown
