MistaOCanswered grow question 2d ago Although no pests are clearly visible in the picture, I have a feeling this could be an early thrips infestation. On the leaf – moving upward from the center to the left – there’s a small white thing that might be a thrip. I had a similar issue during my recent Sour Frootz run, with small bumps and feeding damage. Neem oil worked really well for me in that case.
Important: I only recommend using neem oil if you’re sure it’s actually thrips. At this point, it’s just my suspicion. Take a closer look at the leaves. Thrips are usually white or brown and tend to stay close to the leaf veins – where nutrients flow through the leaf. They’re very small and can be hard to spot.
If your plant isn’t flowering yet and you confirm thrips, you can spray a neem oil and water mixture directly onto the leaves – two or three treatments are usually enough. If your plant is already in bloom, I wouldn’t spray. Instead, mix neem oil into the watering solution. That worked very well for me after a few applications.
