So i have never found a single moving bug under the microscope, and i have never seen anything that resembles a spider web. I transplanted the plants into the 5 gallon pots over the weekend, so there's dirt stuck to the plants now but ive never seen a single bug or webs just what i was told was bugs on here.

So unfortunately it seems whatever it is, is still happening. So if anyone has any more ideas id appreciate it

I put the yellow sticky papers on the soil i had left over from my 1st time growing, when i had them little nats in the soil, i haven't seen them this time. I put them in there to see if I would catch any but I haven't seen any of them either.

thats why you should always confirm you have a bug infestation before you start buying random shit recommended by the grow store guy

What deficiency?

Look... instead of looking what deficiency you're having get the PH right first.
Yet from what i am seeing from your photo's, probably manganese or zinc deficiency or both.
I don't see any bugs..... ^^

Hope that helps.

They look fine to me soil might be to hot also with organic you are killing the soil by letting it dry up. Stop spraying your plants lol you're wasting your time. Also you might as well just use salts if you go non organic people do mix em tho. It's living soil for a reason.

I use gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 top dress. I haven't added any to this grow yet i will down the road though

That's ok
Problem could be the soil. Did you use potting soil? If so, potting soil has a high nitrogen content.
If you water to much you also get those brass copper marks on the leafs.
Cause is root burn from the nitrogen.
Solution put some worm castings in your soil or mix it into the water when watering.

Some advice. My first rookie mistake was potting soil from a store.
Killed my plants on my first year.
Not only that, you get free fungus gnat eggs if you don't sterilize your bought soil.
Next time when starting a new grow learn how to make your own soil.
Saves ton of problems

Good luck.

So add more N via worm castings is the way to fix high N in potting soil?

The worm castings protect the roots from nitrogen burn.

I thought the only thing that protects plants from nitrogen burn is less nitrogen.

Nope, gotta add more nitrogen via the EWC to protect from the already high nitrogen in the soil...

I can't say it will protect the plant but certainly several sources say this

Can worm castings burn roots?

Unlike synthetic fertilizers or animal manure, worm castings won't burn plant roots. They contain microorganisms that support healthy soil (including potting soil). They also may discourage root rot and other plant diseases, as well as provide natural resistance to pests including aphids, mealybugs, and mites

100% agree with that. But that's not what he was saying.

Over watering causes nutrient burn on the roots. From what i know. The worm castings protect the roots from taking to much nutrients. Sort of like a filter system in the soil itself. The roots need air. Worm castings help with making the soil more breathable.
Preventing the roots from drowning in water which causes the nutrient overkill.

.... Interesting. Have you used earthworm castings before?

I'm being topic specific here and not going into all the tiny details. I have tested this myself on my own plants

being the dumb ass i was back then 3 years ago.

I am using worm castings on my own new batch of plants right now.

I might do a grow thread myself.

Worm castings are dense. It makes the soil less aerated.

The main problem is the potting soil that you buy from the store. It's like rocket fuel for the plant (lot's of nitrogen).

Depends on the soil.

Depends how much you use of course. Discretion is advised.
