So I made a post yesterday about this and was hoping to get some more answers on this. One of my plants is showing something on its leaves. I will have pictures included. I’m buying a dehumidifier now that I’m going into flower but for Veg I have kept the temps around 78-80 and the RH at about 60% maybe 65%, I’ll include pictures of the setup, I did get a second lights that’s not pictured. I have checked for bugs and have found nothing but I do find a leaf here and there that’s either torn and ripped or ate but can not confirm. Thank you for any feedback 98770B9D-7475-4319-AD04-886A25E3FE2D.jpeg6EDF321F-DC8F-4FFA-8294-3F0AB50B54D9.jpegC8E08386-952D-4775-9C3C-7F7557EA64A2.jpeg

Looks very much like spider mite damage?

Have you seen any webs on the plants? Look at the underside of an affected leaf, and look for little black dots moving around. A magnifying glass, loupe or scope will help here.

I'm in agreement with the Neem oil treatment.

so I have looked all over for spider mites and can’t seem to find any signs of them. I cannot wipe off the marks with a damp paper towel. And no I have not seen any web but once in a while I seem to fair what seems like a hair but I’m not sure if it’s from my clothing.

What are you talking about? Those plants haven't even started flowering yet!

Those are absolutely not crystals. Besides, crystals don't appear on the fan leaves, especially the outer edges of them.

Hence, there will be no crystals for some time yet. The other poster that I quoted is obviously too inexperienced to voice an opinion on the matter.

No worries. I just wanted to give you as much info as possible. Is neem oil ok during flower? Or should I veg longer with the neem oil treatment?

Best not to do it in flower, whenever possible, so you're in a good position to stay in veg. If you can get rid of the problem, great. If not, trash them, sterilize absolutely everything, and start over.

Neem is safe for flowering

Safe, maybe. I would only use during 1st week of flower, and thats pushing it. The treatment you need will last longer than a week.

The buds will be safe to smoke but will be ruined by oils left behind. It follows in extracts too, just saying.

What ever brand you get follow the instructions. I have not done it in a while but when you spray you have to get every square inch of them.

I also like to defoliate everything before i spray, its easier to coat plants and you are getting rid of potential egg sites. Plants will bounce back full of leaves in a few days.
