Is this spider mites

[thatswhatIsayin]

Not sure what the white dots are. Under a microscope they appear to be discolored leaf, is this nutrient burn? I did use technaflora foliage spray. I just want to make sure its not something i should be doing something about.

I think it may be. Look on bottoms of leaves for itsy bitsy moving bugs or little black dots that are the eggs.

[LOC NAR on probation]

Eggs are little white dots on underside of leaves. Spidermites start young as white dots moving and then turn red or two brown spots. The two-spotted-spidermites are Hella hard to get rid of. Leaf damage looks just like it. Look under leaf like said they are there.

The big question is what to do ?

Pyrithrum bombs like dr dooms will work fast and is organic.

If you have the two-spotted. The only way I can control them is with Azamax a neem oil concentrate. I think azatrol is the same. They are easier to use than neem oil. It can also be fred to plants as an antifeedant. Keeps them little bastard off my stuff.

spider mites
get them before they get you id say.
higher the temps and lower the humidity for a while ive found these methods to work....
theres a light recipe here
To make: Mix 1 ounce of hydrated lime, 32 ounces of water and 1 teaspoon of castille soap. Use up to twice a week.wiping the leaves clean once dryed just incase of residue etc
and a heavier one here
Pepper Spray
Target insects: All‑purpose
Just like the pepper dusts a spray made from hot peppers will release the capasaicin compound to repel insects.
NOTE: To make: Mix 1/2 cup of finely chopped or ground hot peppers with 1 pint of water. Let this sit for 24 hours. Use as is for a soil drench application or strain the mixture through cheesecloth until you have a clear liquid. Add a few drops of castille soap and use as a foliar application. Keep away from skin and eyes.
hope this helps:smokin:

I disagree with your method. Neem has been proven over the years to resolve the problem. Better yet, prevention is by far better than even Neem.

Ok, I just purchased some neem oil so I think Im gonna use that. Thanks guys

that could also be white powerdey mildew, but cant tell, either way some neem will help, but some sulfer soap will kill it imidiatly, just be carefull sulfer clogs stomata, and can caseu stunting if used to an extream, but I agree preventative with neem is the best for success. and when going flowering only neem mabey the first week or 2 before budsites start to devlop buds then stop spraying

follow his advise.....also lower your temps and humidity....that will slow them way down.

I am thinking mold the way it is concentrated on that leaf I'm looking at. Although, I could be wrong. Check the underside of the leaf as suggested already. If nothing is crawling around ... I'd do a treatment for mold if they were my plants.

Best of luck. Hope it all turns out okay for you. :thumbsup:

its deffintily powdery mildew then, keep the fans on em and the humidity down and usualy that will keep the PM away but in some areas sulfer burners are what works best
