Alright I have a few Jack herers and they are 50 days into flower. 4x4 grow tent with a 600 hps. Buds are looking amazing! I found a few leaves curling slightly and big brown spots and the leave looking unhealthy, but the rest of the plant is fine. I found a few leaves with some little white bugs or eggs? Can someone please fill me in on what I'm dealing with? I think they may be aphids? I have released some lady bugs and removed leaves with the bugs/eggs. Attachment 288628Attachment 288629
I don't know about those white "eggs" but if they are Jack Herrer, you will be chopping down in about 14 days or so I'm guessing. (9 weeks = 63 days). With this in mind, you are supposed to flush and just water for the final 2 weeks anyways, so I'd just relax about the leaves and the deficiency. It's just to hard to say without knowing all the factors what the plant is lacking but if I had to guess for fun, it'd be phosphorous. Leaves can turn a little purple with this, and I think I see that here. Take a look at this

Thank you for your response Sal. I agree yes 2 weeks left and the flush has begun. I have dealt with spider mites and know this is not. But I have a feeling its root aphids from not cleaning my old pots I used from last time that sat in my back yard for month's. Not sure really? Best thing I can come up with. Here is another pick it may show a bit better.Attachment 288656
Maybe Manganese deficiencies?
Aphids. Thanks though
Still not sure though! Could someone please tell me what this is!
Looks like aphids.
yeah if its aphids your in the early stage, once you see little black clusters starting to form under the leaves its a heavy infestation(big black bugs with the little white ones inbetween and sticky sap all over where there at) The good thing is they wont do too much damage since your just about done, I just dealt with this about 6 months back and the plants they were on were fine,its the next generations that were fucked, could of saved a lot of trouble if someone told me this instead of trying to save my mothers...
step 1 scorched earth:after your harvest get rid of everything you have(clones, mothers all strains veg and flower, & soil if kept close to grow) step 2:bleached earth, clean and disenfect everything, pots, grow rooms, tools, equipment(inside hoods too) step 3: light a cheap raid bug bomb off in that bitch, wait at least a week then you can go back at it with some fresh cuttings.
peace
the immediate solution to your problem is a bottle of quantum apocalypse. the stuff is organic, extremely effective on mites, aphids, thrips, mealybug, whitefly, and powdery mildew and is cheap compared to other products that don't work as well and are not organic. the best thing about the product is that it can be used at a low rate once a week as a preventative so you don't get problems such as aphids. check out the "no more spider mites on cannabis" post under plant problems for more info.
