I don't I will post another when I get home but I did pinch that leaf set off in case it is mites cause I've herd they can spread quickly I also have seen webs but not the little red mites they kind look like actual spiders but they eat insects I'm just lost at this point

Hard to tell but mites would leave the leaves with white spots, which I don't necessarily see. The pic's suck, which makes it hard to tell. Mites don't eat leaves, which it seems to be part of your problem. It's probably a different insect of some sort.....if still in veg, you need maybe neem or Monteray insect spray to help but at this point, I'd probably kill everything off, clean everything well and start over.

I filled a spray bottle with 60% water and 40% of isopropyl alcohol yesterday and sprayed it down I was told by an old timer that uses the same solution in his garden as a preside he says it kills on contact I thought it would hurt the plant but he say the alcohol evaporates so quickly in open air it won't hurt them but I haven't checked on them since I sprayed so I will post new pics when I get home in 30mins cause I'm having my own doubts as well

Plant 2 this one had a slug problem right after I topped it but it seems to be bouncing back but did start to get the same issue as the other 20160718_145700.jpg 20160718_145715.jpg

Also does anyone have any natural ways or remedies to stimulate more root grouth cause I'm not sure if these are more indicia dominate so that's way there kinda stumpy or did my minor infestations slow there growth down cause plant 2 just turned 7weeks old this past Sunday and plant one is 7weeks yesterday I've usually had plants almost 2ft by now and there not more than an inch or two over a foot

Neem oil every day or so. Get bottom of leaves good. Make sure you have good drainage. Add some nitrogen to that plants waterings.

Well.... Then that rain may be pulling all of it out. It'll be fine. For veg I like my plants super dark. But that plant matches its surroundings and wouldn't catch the eye of a wondering person.... Except the big blue bucket

Yeah haha I know I searched Lowe's for an hour and a half all they had were those damn blue buckets but I was able to by a 40lb bag of organic soil and 2 buckets for 9.97 so that was what i liked most haha

The white is from the infestation I think I got rid of no mold though thoughs are holes in the leaves where what ever bug was eating plus it literally just stopped down pouring when I took these photos so the pics are kinda off from the haze after the rain

They'll be fine man. Unless an animal or bug gets it. It looks healthy....if it was mine I'd increase the nitrogen. But it's fine. Probably lost a lot of what you fed it from rain.

Probably so should I do a heavy feeding then do 4tesp per gal instead I just don't wanna burn them or give them nute lock up
