Just want to start off by thanking anyone who offers their help and guidance. Been growing tomatoes and peppers for years but this plant is clearly on a different level. Here are the details;
Auto Kush from CKS
Week 3
5 Gallon fabric pots filled with FFOS
Outdoor grow getting around 6 hours of direct sun most days (located in Northern VA)
Kept inside a cheap popup plastic dome during poor weather and at night
25ML tap water every 3 days for first 9 days, then 250ML every 3 days since (when first inch of soil is dry)
Water PH is a little high (7) but soil PH is solid
No nutes yet but will be organic only
First you'll notice the plants are stunted, maybe a week or two behind which I believe is because the first week was slightly cold outside. I was already concerned enough about this knowing they're auto flowers and essentially on a timer but nothing I can do. Now have more serious issues that I could use your advice with;
Plant 1 has bugs of some sort and I'm thinking it's mites. One of the larger leaves has white/yellow spots on the top half and when looking under it had two bugs I smooshed (they deserved it). One of the newer leaves also has some white area and looks like it's been eaten. See first two pictures for visuals on this problem.
Questions:
What is it? spider mites? Thrips?
Is there a organic solve for this?
Plant 2 looks like it's burnt on the end of one of the large leaves. Also looks like the white spots are starting over on this one too now so likely will inherit the same issues as plant 1. See the third picture for visual on this.
Questions:
What is this leaf burn from? Is this nute burn from just the FFOS? Sun or heat burn?
Final Question; Since they're so young, should I just give up/replace them with two new seeds in new pots or are these an easy fix because they are so young?
Thanks again!
