Guess my leaf problem! - Acne face on my leaves

[nomis]

Hello good people,

Got some weird stuff starting to creep into my Auto Pounder w/ Cheese. I'm on week 10/day 66 today.
2 days ago I woke up to one leaf covered in these tiny spots, this morning the leaf is starting to shrivel up and the tiny spots are moving to other leaves. Seems to be occurring on the larger medium to high canopy leaves, though some of the lower leaves are showing a different problem.

I've been a bit bad and been feeding full strength nutes for the past week until I saw leaf tips burning. I started the grow @ 1/4 strength and have been upping the dose every week, following the Fox Farm feeding schedule up to now.

I've also not been running much clean water through her as she drinks slowly and it's hard to get 2 feedings in every week. I fed a gallon 2 days ago with just 2tsp of big bloom.

My normal feed schedule includes 1tsp of cal/mag, I also limed the soil in the beginning, could this be calcium overfeeding? Soil PH is 6.6 on the Accurite meter, water runoff is 6.3 - 6.4 with PH pen with 6.5 going in.

Nitrogen seems high as well, so planning to cut it out aside from whatever's in the bloom nutes.

I'm gonna cut back the nutes to 1/2 strength for now and see what happens, but am curious what you all think.

Overfeeeding? Salt Buildup? Hand of God?

Here she is yesterday:



And today:



Spreading to other leaves now:


A different problem on a few lower leaves:

Aphids nomis, if you look very close on the underside of your leaves you may see very very small insects. If your eyes are as bad as mine you may need a magnifying glass. In a blender add a couple of cloves of garlic to a liter of water. Blend it up, strain it and mist the underside of your leaves with it.

Hey A4, thanks for the reply. I've been checking leaves but am not finding any bugs but will give the garlic spray a try anyway. I will admit that I do have an issue with bugs entering the house through my crappy windows @ night and heading straight for the closet, so could be they are hanging out some place else in here. I'm switching to 20/4 lights tonight and will set up a light trap outside the closet to see what sort of bugs get caught.

Keep an eye and check right when the lights come on. Look for new leaves that only have a few of those spots on them then gently turn the leaf over. They are super small and many times a lime green almost the same color as the underside of the leaf so it can be hard to catch.

That garlic will kill them but as far along as those plants look if it were me I probably wouldn't risk making my buds smell like garlic. Just deal with them until harvest and clean the room out real well when you have harvested.

Will the Garlic spray hurt the baby mantisizizz n stuff?

 

[A4]

mantisisisiiissis lol

No, ladybugs and matisiziziziziz won't be bothered by it. My ladybugs are deterred by nothing, lol.

 

[Eyes on Fire]

I was gonna suggest frass,but that'll either kill or scatter everything.. LOL! dont want that LOL! cuz they think they're being eaten and invaded so they get gone n die lol garlic..good to know..well I was aware just never used it..lol sweet!

Thanks guys, and sadly the Mantis' are for the tomatoes outside & would easily escape my closet if I brought em indoors.
Should I continue to feed normally? Maybe cut out the molasses that I started using this week?

The plant looks real darn good for the age, I would keep doing whatever you are doing. Even that slight deficiency at the bottom isn't bad for how long into flowering you are. My lowers start dying off that late as well. Overall, it is definitely a plant to be proud of brother!

BTW, ladybugs will eat those as well and my lady bugs stay in my grow room as long as there is something to eat. At the beginning of spring I will have literally hundreds in there. You can buy them real cheap at most good horticulture shops.
