brown spots help +rep

[anygivenmonday]

Brown spots spreading fast ,think it might be a green and black bug i keep finding all over, anyone know what it is and what will make it better?

yeah it doesn't look good, green and black bug?
i'm from the north east, seen my share of bugs - does it look like some kind of beetle?

 

[anygivenmonday]

lime green and a black line down the middle of their back. they move fast!

 

[growone]

i think i've seen them before - not sure if they are the problem
from my first look at your pix, i would have said 'bad ph issue' if there was no other info
are there any holes in the leaves - maybe tiny ones?

Looks like thrips... black dots are thrips feces and little thrips.

Manual removal... books says they are vexing to try and get rid of once you have alot of them.

Homemade sprays nicotine base, commercial pyrethrum, insecticidle soap.

apply 2-4 times at 5-10 day intervals.

just my my two cents. get the MMJ hort. bible.

Hope this helps.

if its insects http://www.weedbay.net/overgrow-thebook/PlantTrouble/PestDeseases.htm is pretty good unless its thrips but you should probably invest in good soil and nutrients for pot plants.

use bug spray or get some lady bugs but it looks like cucumber beetles that do that . , but use plant safe insectcide bro

yea they piss me off as well they see you and dip off and then come right back man its a pest and they never stop even if you try and drown them

soil is happy frog and all my other plants are fine with that and the bat guano tea so i don't think soil or fertilizer is the problem. looked up thrips and i dont see anything like that on my plant. any other ideas?

 

[growone]

are they beetles? - could be from the behavior you describe - flying away when approached
cucumber beetles behave that way but are normally yellow and black

 

[anygivenmonday]

looks similiar to this but may only have one stripe

thats the closest to a picture i can find. kill one or two every time i go back there

'

markings look similar to mine, they are called four lined plant bug

 

[growone]

one lined bug? - well this seems to have exhausted my bug lore - the top pic looks similar to cucumber beetle
cucumber beetles suck sap(i think), tend to cause wilt in cukes/squash/melons
never heard of them affecting mj, but sounds like some kind of bug trouble - at a loss unless you can get an actual pic of one of yours

 

[anygivenmonday]

they are the exact same after observing them closely so i guess they are four lined plant bugs anyone know what will get rid of these pests?
