I think I have diagnosed the correct problem, but I just want to
make sure before I treat the plant with something that it doesn't

need.

Leaf miners
These Little creatures are a pain to get rid of, the miners eat and dig squiggly lines into your leaves all the while planting there larvae in them making it hard to get rid of them. They plant there eggs in the leaves in mid When they hatch they feed off of your leaves untill they get big enough to pupate. Pupation occurs within the leaf or in the soil beneath the plant. After they emerge the entire cycle will start over and you will have a bigger infestation.

The works about the plant and grow:

Soil grow outdoor
1/4 grow big fox farm
fed every other watering
superthrive (1 ml)
day temps: 100 F
night temps: 75-80

if any other info is needed just ask.

The attached pictures are of the plant that might have leaf miners.







These pictures of the....male...have nothing to do with the above problem.
the original post is about the attached photos. With these pics I just wanted
to be sure it was a male.
PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS MALE:

I don't know why it has balls. None of the other plants have showed
any sign of sex yet, and they're two months old already.

certainly male, and that looks a lot like nute burn to me, though i dont grow outdoors, so i dont see bug problems ever, you might want to consult the epic thread of plant problems and see if you can diagnose it from that.

Yes the one plant is a male and you do have leaf minors. It does not look like you have any nutrient issues. Along with the little trails the minors bore into your leaves, they also affect the health of the leaves, which would cause your leaves to look similar to nutrient burn.

I'm not sure how to treat, never had em, but I assume you can treat with Cold Pressed Neem Oil and a drop of dish soap. But wait to see that someone else (someone who has dealt with these before) comes in and tells you exactly what works for getting rid of the infestation.

Thank you. I found the picture of the problem on another site
and they said to treat with neem oil.
