PLANT ADVICE

[dookieface]

not sure whats wrong with these plants. i'm sure HEAT has to do with the white lines. but, not sure if anything else is affecting the plant. The plant is in its Flower Stage seems so far its' been a month and a half since flower. am i experiencing slow growth rate also?

the white spots are bugs... lil white ones that live under your leaves,have a look...then get some neem oil from garden supply store.
your plants arent flowering.....switch the light cycle to 12 hrs on-12 hrs off.

okay, the light cycle of 12-12 has been on for a month and a half. so it is flowering.. i just haven't taken pictures of the pistals the colas seem to be in good shape but the fan leaves are looking crusty and dry. and don't beleive there are bugs under my leaves. i'm sure theres another explanation to the white lines.

Thrips- small bug trails.
Multi-nutrient deficeincy (primarily Sulfur symptoms)- Discolored leaves with bright red petioles
Heat stress or rootbound- dull, droopy, canoe leaves, lack of bud mass
Light leaks- lack of bud mass on what should be a nearly-finished plant

You have work ahead of you.
Pyrethrin bomb for the thrips. Bomb twice, 4 days apart.
Thorough flush-and-feed, checking and adjusting pH if it is out of range.
Bring temps down into the mid 80's at most. Repot if the plant has more than a foot of main stem per gallon of soil. Use rich compost or a proper potting soil.
Go into your grow area when the lights are off. You should not see any light coming through the cracks, ventilation, under the door, etc.

There aren't bugs under your leaves. They are on top of your leaves, eating them. Look closely and you will see tiny 1mm long golden-colored splinter looking things. Those are thrips. They are BAD.

this is wild ... I found 'thrips' on Wikipedia Thrips - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... it says the damned things will infest your house, and can live in your computer's LCD screen ... that's too much ... takin' no chances, I'm gonna make my No-Pest Strip into a necklace

well, I guess a no-pest necklace to ward off thrips is more practical than a garlic necklace to ward off vampires! (unless they are Korean or Italian vampires, in which case they will be very happy that you have pre-seasoned yourself for them! )

ohhh, don't get me started on those damned vampires :cursing: ... between them and the werewolves in these hills, I can't get a good night's sleep :wtf: ... I really like my new harvest

thanks for your input. i don't have a big grow. two plants thats all. if i spray it with the soap water and oil solution do you think that will work? for a few weeks.

Your grow is your grow, regardless of size. If you want the most from your grow, follow Stinky's advice and get your plants healthy so you get some decent buds.

...and dream about how sweet your next grow will be after you have learned from this one. :thumbsup:

Be very careful with oil sprays, ESPECIALLY in a high-heat environment, as you can easily overapply and suffocate your plants.
Go to walmart. Buy a bottle of GardenSafe vegetable insect spray. It is a cheap and effective and SAFE pyrethrin based bug treatment that you can use pretty close to harvest. It breaks down in DAYS under high intensity lighting. If you have any doubts, put the plant outside in direct sunlight for a couple days IMMEDIATELY before harvest (don't do this early or you get herms from the light change). The sun's radiation really breaks down that type of pesticide FAST.
Just think... do you REALLY want to get OIL on your buds? Ewwww yuck.
