Mite expert?It looks like a mite to me, but to be sure you need better magnification. If it's mites you need to treat them. Hopefully the mite experts will swing by soon.

Yes, people with more experience than me.Mite expert?
In his first post, second picture it's the black dots and white pattern.Can someone point out where they spotted the mites? Just want to be sure I didnt skip over it.
If we're talking about pic 4, that doesnt look like damage from 2 spotted spider mites. With that amount of scarring, if it were mites, there would be webbing, droppings, and you'd likely see them with the naked eye. They're not really that small when compared with other mites like broads or russets.
The key is that no other leaves are affected. If it was mites there would be damage on other leaves.In his first post, second picture it's the black dots and white pattern.
Then he posted this. Take a close look at pic #2. He needs better magnification.
Wtf is up qith my plants?
So like the title says whats goin on with the plants? Im new to growing and im wondering if its like a nutrient deficiency with them? The 3 plants in question are the same strain, ethos grandpas cookies #6 x zwag #23. The other plant (bacio gelato) seems to be having no problems as far as I...www.rollitup.org
I don’t see any sign of Spider Mite in either of them, that second photo had plenty of magnification a spider mite would have looked like an elephant with that much zoom.In his first post, second picture it's the black dots and white pattern.

I hope that's right, like I said he needs more magnification to be sure. It wouldn't be the first grow caught early. Anyway I've only had them once and it's been awhile so I could certainly be wrong and it would be good if I was.The key is that no other leaves are affected.

I think Nutty sKunK called it in post 14, moisture stress, IMO.
Yeah I agree. OP needs better magnification. That leaf looks close to the bottom so it could be debris from the substrate.In his first post, second picture it's the black dots and white pattern.

Here’s the problem. You’re best not waiting for them to droop before watering. That’s stress. It’ll eat up the youngest leaves in order to survive.As far as to much moisture or over watering, I have been waiting till the plants are drooping over because they need water. So far I've waterd them once a week. I started using recharge when I water once a week. And I ph the water @ 6.4 every time.
It's like waiting until you are already dehydrated to drink waterHere’s the problem. You’re best not waiting for them to droop before watering. That’s stress. It’ll eat up the youngest leaves in order to survive.
Try to water before droop. I find it’s usually every 2-3 days for plants established in their pots

I don’t see any signs of bugs here or any of your other pictures. Spider mites you can see without magnification on the back of the leaves, they’ll look like little black dots and you’ll see them move around.So just thought I'd let yall know i went to my hydroponic store and bought this stuff called TAKE DOWN. The guy at the store told me he uses it for his plants for bugs. I would have liked to get something that was organic and what not but I unfortunately didn't really have the funds for some $40 and up spray. This was $15 so my options were rather limited as far as that goes.
So i sprayed them about 15 mins before the lights go off as directed. Unfortunately my squirt bottle kinda just "sprayed" like rain drops not so much a mist. So i used a little brush and my hands (with gloves) to get it on my plants. The directions say to do it again in a week or 2.
I see that some of you guys thinks its mites, and some don't. I hope its not, but if it is mites I hope this "TAKE DOWN" shit works.
As far as to much moisture or over watering, I have been waiting till the plants are drooping over because they need water. So far I've waterd them once a week. I started using recharge when I water once a week. And I ph the water @ 6.4 every time.
The soil i have used so far is black gold seed starter mix with happy frog mixed together to start the seeds a 50 50 mix then when i transplanted i put in a peat base soil with all the nutrients in it. Its from a local farm, its called "rabbit creek farm easy grow soil" (easygrowsoil.com) I used it on my first grow and it worked good. The guy at the hydro store swears by it. I wish I knew all the ingredients to explain what's in it.
The last thing I wanted to ask you guys is after i sprayed/ paint brushed/ rubed on the TAKE DOWN on my plants I noticed the top of my leaves have little white bumps on them. I'm hoping that its just part of thr plant.
I will include some pictures, if you zoom in you can see the white things that I hope are supposed to be there
