This is my first time EVER growing, money is tight on my end but if material that is needed is mandatory , then I will get them! I have hundreds of questions but I’ve been finding very little answer online, maybe I’m not looking the right direction so if someone can guide me , I’d appreciate it! In the pictures I took you can seen spots, whitish lines on leafs or they have small burnish like spots , anyone have an idea what it can be? , I got mini white flys flying around and I’ve been zapping them but they keep coming back! Please help me save my plants! I’m using FoxFarm HappyFrog Potting soil, 2 miss yee 600w light and 1 Kingled 1200w. Again I have so many questions! I would highly appreciate if I can get help and guidance with my garden! Thanks you guys! Lmk

Welcome to RIU!

Please post pictures under natural lighting. Always turn off your grow lights when taking pictures, especially if you want a diagnosis of a problem.

If you review your pictures, you can tell that with that blurple light on, it's impossible to get an accurate depiction of the plants.

When you post better pictures, also let us know the following:

- Medium you're using
- Nutrients you're feeding
- pH of the water and water/nutrient mix you're feeding
- Temperature
- Humidity

Are there little bugs crawling on the top of the soil? Look closely they will be really small

Are there little bugs crawling on the top of the soil? Look closely they will be really small
just to follow up on this - get close to your soil and start gently blowing on it. Then look really carefully for movement, you're looking out for really tiny critters moving about the soil. Gnats.. etc...

If you have larvae or anything hanging out in your soil, a recommendation might be to let the top inch or so of your soil dry up before watering again, this is one natural way of killing things that are breeding in there. Other options include spraying down with Neem oil or flushing your plant with a 1/4 H2O2(hydrogen peroxide, 3%)/Water solution.

For the stuff on the leaves, definitely check the underside for obvious mites and/or other bugs as they often like to hang out there. Some of that spotting on your leaves looks somewhat normal, but if you can get close enough to those little particle looking things to see that they're bugs, you have a low enough density of them that you can probably off them with a Q-tip dabbed in alcohol + spot treatment.

Id let some others answer your question, but you can start here and also by answering spek9's list, though I do see you did list your growing medium already.

good luck

It could even be multiple problems like gnats and thrips I like to water with some hydrogen peroxide to get rid of the gnats drying the soil helps but doesn't always total fix the problem

The growing medium that I’m using is Foxfarm happy frog potting soil and that it, for nutrients I only have the Foxfarm grow big bottle and the General hydroponics pH up and PH down and PH test indicator I also don’t have a pH meter so I’m not 100% sure what my ph is at can I use this Ph test indicator for now? In the mean time I try to get Hold of a digital meter also I don’t know how to use the nutrients in the plants and I’m not sure on the temp or humidity since I don’t have that tool either! But I was told if it’s comfortable for me it should comfortable for the plants! Here some photos in better lighting, sorry bout the ones from earlier

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding but do you mean the actual Hydrogen peroxide for infected wounds or is there something special made for the plants?

It won’t damage the plant? Like affect it?
No it won't I used it every week for the last 2 month of flower last time I got gnats. look up the diluttion rate for watering you can spray the plants with it too. If you use to much you can definitely fuck up the plants but same applies to nutrients

I want to say I fix the temperature in my grow box because the humidity is not so high in there nor is it too hot nor is it too cold in my opinion it’s perfect

I would stay away from any liquid nutrients go with Jacks, megacrop, or a similar powder nutrient it will save money and give better results. What is the h2o can you link the product? I'm guessing its not needed if using hydrogen peroxide but could be used in place of the peroxide but I'm not exactly sure what product you talking about

The last thing you want to spend money on is nutrients if your grow is exactly how you want it and you see no room for improvement maybe try some expensive nutes just to see if it's different setting up co2 or improving light output can help alot more than expensive nutrients
