yellow dots in clusters on random leaves.. bugs? of def?

[cstoebs]

this plant is a barneys farm lsd, I recently transplanted into the ground outside with a half ffof, and happy frog mix, with some added lime to stabilize the ph. I noticed this weird pattern on the leaves yesterday and was wondering if anyone has seen anything like it before cuz I haven't. they are too big of spots to be spider mites, but they are only on the top side of the leaves(the bottom side are healthy). I will try to get a better pictures later today, but some insight on this problem will be very helpful=)

That's not spider mites... they live on the bottoms of the leaves.
Looks more like a type of caterpillar or worm got on it

i don't think its a caterpillar cuz they bite through the leaf this was like it was sucking on it

that's burn from moisture on leaf and sun shining on it. The moisture acts like a magnifying glass thus burning the leaf.

 

[cstoebs]

its outdoor and hasn't rained 4 days so i don't know how moisture would get on there

by the look of those leaves I would say some K deficiency.

I've been taking it easy on the notes, only giving one teaspoon of fox farm grow big per gallon of water, but I'm newer to soil so I thought the ocean forest and happy frog soil would supply with half of the nutes... should I maybe feed full strength?

 

[scroglodyte]

that was a bug attack, imo

 

[cstoebs]

what kind of bug does it look like

Morning dew

I've had it happen to me indoors when water splashed on some lower leaves and it's not bugs.

 

[scroglodyte]

i don't know. some sap-sucking, thieving little bastard. its good for plants to get a little chewed up.

 

[cstoebs]

yea well some deer has been periodically picking at the lower 2 nodes of my plants.. bastards

Just piss around the area you're growing and it will keep the deer away

 

[cstoebs]

i have been doing that but these bastard came back and ate some more of my plants, not too much but its getting annoying bcuz its eating the undergrowth and i want my babes to fill in

 

[REALSTYLES]

If you have dogs let them piss around the area as well. Oh yeah I just remembered, My friend did a outdoor grow last year and he bought some fishing line and some 5ft pvc pipe and made a fence make like 2 or 3 rows (so you can step in) about the level you think the deer are at. What he said was the deer can't really see the fishing line and when they bump up against it them freak out and runaway. Here's what I'm talking about.

 

[cstoebs]

I have a small 3 foot fence around them already, maybe it was a squirrel or something smaller bcuz its only the first 2 nodes it has been eating... idk hopefully this just makes my plants bushier

 

[grapesnowcone]

Its definitely a bug attack, I have the same spots on random leaves on my outdoor plant.. Dunno what bug, I tried finding out a while back with no luck..

 

[cstoebs]

I'm sure its a nasty son of a bitch cuz it did that in one day...
