whats going wrong?

They are thrips, suck goodness out from underside of the plants....

Lots of ways to deal with this, personally id just bottom feed in coco, that way top of the pot dries out and the thrips on the leaves can't burrow under the soil 2 lay their eggs...

They have never been a problem for me or effected yield if managed properly, I get more growth than what they can eat lol
 
Or u could just wack some h2o2 in there at a strength of

Res size x 10 divided by h2o2=ml of h2o2

That formulas been in my head for years lol

Im growing outdoors in ffof so all the hydro talk is abit above my knowledge. Ive sprayed a neem concentrate a few times but they never really go away.
Im more concerned at the twisted rust colored leaves im getting.
 
I'd say if its anything, its mag issues.

Sprinkle of Epsom salts in the feed at the start of veg and start of flower, Ganjas a mag hungry plant compared 2 others
 
Working off the formula let's say u have a 15 ltr pot and 6% peroxide

Res size x 10 divided by h2o2=ml of h2o2

15l x 10 ÷ 6 = 25ml h202 to 15l of feed...

I'd go with the Epsom for them spots mate
 
No, they should be enough calcium in the water 2 meet the plants needs, Epsom salts are just pure magnesium, only use a sprinkle or 2 at start of veg&flower
 
The more calcium u add the more mag that gets locked out so its counterproductive for ganja calmag (Unless your using a ro system though obviously lol)
As I say, cannabis's are mag hungry plants

I picked up my biggest plant this morning and only saw a couple thrips but they seem to hide in the new growth when i go to look.

Havent used h2o2 yet as i havent sprayed or watered since i made the thread.
