Well I'm in need of some major advice. ever since I sprayed the epsom salts white dots appeared if someone could clarify that it is or isn't in-fact powdery mildew that would be helpful. Also some pest seems to be eating one of them. I have the fan on them now but I saw tiny bugs hopping around the bottom. I need advice as to should I kill the plant or what should be done?? Also they've outgrown their pot and the only plant that wasn't showing signs of problems now is. Should I water them tonight or try to repot them tomorrow? Are they even worth repotting is what it all comes down to. I need some worthwhile advice, i'm in a tough situation any advice would be much appreciated.

Why would you spray your plants with epsom salt? If its a remedy of some sort i haven't heard of it, When salts buildup in your plant you must flush it. You problay just increased the salt buildup in your plant. The marks could be burn from the salt water burning your plant? I'm not exactly sure

What that guy said is the truth
If you see bugs I always reccomend to destroy them. Put a bag over them and take em outside. Clean room with bleach. I hate bugs.... don't put salt in your plant.

When i had a Spider Mite infestation once i just bought ladybugs, i use a grow tent with air cooled reflectors its a microclimate, so the bugs cant get out. There's so many ways to kill bugs, You can bring your Co2 up to 2000PPM and leave it for 1 hour it will kill all the bugs. Ive even used clothing lint rollers to roll off bugs, Takes a while but it gets all the bugs and eggs very efficiently.

i foliar fed the plant the epsom salts for a magnesium deficiency. I guess I didn't dilute the salts enough. I'm pretty positive that the white is from the salts. Do they look like they could be salvaged or not?

As long as there is green, there is hope.....spray your plants with water with a drop or two of dawn, joy, palmolive etc.....spray enough to wash away the salt buildup...hope that helps.

I sprayed them with a little dove. then watered and sprayed with separate water. The bugs only appear under the pots with the moisture and seem to like the tiny roots sticking out? but there is steal leaf damage

Im assuming you aren't supplementing Co2 by a controller? As for the bugs are they flying around or walking or what? What kinda bugs are they?

Is that miracle grow soil I see in the pics? What are the green pellets in the soil?

Those green pellets are the nutes and the bug problem has ceased thankfully. What precautions should I take when flowering. && I suppose a picture of Buds would be a better avatar? Lifes not that serious.
