New one on me

[avid_grow]

Dude...BH and Gweedo, thank you for the read. Really fantastic stuff!! I've been looking into starting my worm bin and this is giving me the itch to stop planning and just go and do. Thanks fellas!! ?

Gweedo, hope you get everything sorted out, I wish I had something useful to add.

Man glad to be of some worth around here, I've been just going to town on beds,rows,the room, seedlings,transplanting, watering it's fun as hell and I've got pics of most of it l, need to just sit down and blurt it all out, just feels like no time to properly lay it out in a somewhat cohesive format ??? I used some old 17 gal insulated DWC totes I built for the bins, hope it works out they aren't drain capable yet, didn't wanna ruin the totes, plan to keep it right be adding wet and dry shit as needed

 

[avid_grow]

Hell yeah my dood! New to the game myself, but its maybe the best thing I've done for myself in years...and who need cohesion, give me a large dose of abstract and I'm happy

Hope it works out for the bins...I'll be posting some pics up in the next week or so once I get it going. Looking forward to seeing how they work out for you. Everything looks great from the pics...also who is that little fella? Gorgeous!!

I don’t think that’s a calcium deficiency, at least not the small spots. Did you scope with at least a 100x, preferably 200x magnification? Calcium deficiency, for me at least, is larger brown splotches

That's goose, hes a rescue my wife found under the dumpster at dollar general, little guy insists on partaking in all the garden chores including gnawing on my ladies occasionally

I took a few pics and zoomed in, and also looked with my makeshift loupe, I'm gonna have to go get some dr zymes and a usb scope tomorrow, if it is mites itll be my first go with em and I'm not ready, all I've got is the mammoth p canna control, and my jadam book ???

 

[Gweedo's Growroom]

I try to make light of it lol but I'm worried for sure, I've been reading on mites and rust spots most of the day and I'm stumped having almost no experience with bugs, all the pics I've seen were white spots with mites, most all of mine are orange, but some are a tad whiter, I've looked at multiple plucked leaves and I can't find a dam thing with my current methods, and 0 webs anywhere

“Alfalfa Meal works as an organic fertilizer utilizing microbacteria to break down and produce heat that accelerates the decomposition of minerals within the meal. Rhizobacteria activity processes the nutrients further, making them more readily available for use by the plant. Using Alfalfa Meal is easy and provides an alternative to other organic fertilizers such as blood meal or compost that may contain excessive amounts of nitrogen for more delicate plants. Alfalfa Meal works very well as a compost bio-activator due to its remarkable nitrogen to carbon ratio and it also makes a great mulch for use in the planting and growing stages of your plant's life. Alfalfa meal is also a great source of trace elements for fertilizing and soil conditioning. It is loved by roses and earthworms
“

this is why it’s never suggested to use as fertilizer human or bad diet based eating things cause you are what u eat and our diet ( at least most of us isn’t a good fertilizer and bad )

Gnaw away they must do sometimes...plants and cats make for a happy life, can happily confirm.

As far as the situation you have, maybe thrips?

It looks like what I'm seeing more so than mite damage...but I'm just shooting from the hips on that.

That’s not a pest , I notice on my candymac all want more calicum than rest of my garden and it slowly is brown rust circles than once it gets further the rings bleed through , seen this so many times

this is even why people will foliar spray calicum weekly and so forth cause it’s such a demand and so hard to be absorbed vs like nitrogen where it’s so fast and easy

So took a cruise down to the local growstore, picked up a 100x scope, and some green cleaner, I'm still pretty sure it's not bugs but I'm about to go check again, never used green cleaner before but have heard nothing but good things from the community in general, and my ipm is definitely lacking, just have the mammoth cannacontrol un opened lol and silica for the prevention of PM, the growstore guru was leaning towards a calcium deficiency as well but said it could possibly be russet mites I'll get back later with some progress if any, plan is to just add a little Jack's cal nit in with the water and watch for nitrogen toxicity, I know they need cal for pretty much everything so just making sure I'm checking that box

TBH, I wouldnt guess it to be Russets. they will usually cluster onto the newest veg (usually on the tips of leaves) and will leave your newer foliage looking wrinkly, yellowed, and way undergrown. Im leaning toward a Ca deficiency as well.

Also, Micro and Macro nutrients will affect the plant at different spots usually indicating which is at play. Are you experiencing the issues pictured near the top of the plants in the newer growth @Gweedo's Growroom ?

 

[Gweedo's Growroom]

It's all over one of the autos and showing on 2 others, scoped some of what look to be eggs, but no critters 100x is the best I can do atm

 

[Gweedo's Growroom]

Getting a sinking feeling in the stomach ???

 

[Gweedo's Growroom]

Time to break out the books I've got 0 experience with fighting bugs ???

Is it safe to say its mites??? Still haven't seen one but there was at least 20 eggs on that one spot of leaf I was scoping, gonna hit em all with some green cleaner now lol then follow with canna control in 3 days, by then I should have some bronner's safe soap as well that's about what I've got any knowledge on atm but I'll be up late reading I'm sure, I could have sworn it was nutes as it's mostly only on the most mature leaves, hope they dont fuck with my worms I tossed all of yesterday's plucked leaves in the bins
