Need help identifying bugs I trapped on sticky stick

Humidity? The couple times I've had issues, my tent / room was high. Dropped the humidity, and knats gone. Get a couple closer shots of the leaves, I'm not getting the feeling they've been munched on, feeling something else is up with the leaves lookin the way they do.

I'll get some closeups.

And there was a big humidity change in my tent starting about 6 weeks ago. Winter is very dry here so I added a cool mist humidifier. But I'm keeping it below 45%. Without it the tent was below 15%.

Picture and fess up time I guess. Might as well show the big picture. This is the tent.

  • The plant with the leaves in the previous pictures is the top right plant.
  • The top left plant is same everything as the top right but diff size autopot. And it's yellowing I think is related to nutrients and PH I think. It does not look like bugs. Most all of the leaves have turned yellow. Buds are not stacking like the plant on the right is. I did flush it recently and hoping to save it.
  • The two with the solo cups in the middle ground have issues too. I'll post a pic below.
  • And the last two in the foreground are doing relatively well at this point. Picture does not really much of them. The left one is a lighter shade of green and used to be very close to going yellow but I think I got it back with a flush. It's looking better now.

This is the closeup you wanted. It's the top right plant. Munched?

This is a close up of one of the seedlings in the solo cups. It looks like bugs munched on them big time. It happened when they were about a week old.

And this is the top left plant that went all yellow on me. And buds are not stacking. More clustering at the top of a branch.

I'm guessing you've got a pH lockout issue... that doesn't look like munchin! Guess it could also be a knat larva issue attacking the roots, but if I walked into my room and saw this, I'd grab my pH pen, calibrate, and test everything. Water I used (my pH changes twice a year, from the municipality ) runoff etc. I've had a pen go bad, readings just went off...
 
You could try sticking a potato wedge in the soil for a few hours. The larvae, if badly infested will attach to it.
If you only see a couple you are okay. Make sure you let the pots dry out well before watering. Fungus gnats most likely appear from overwatering. Get some, food grade diatomaceous earth and layer the top of soil with it. You need to attack the adults with those yellow stickies, then the DE will shred the rest as they try to surface. Keep it up for 2 weeks, you'll be good

good answer

Oh ya, most of that is consistent with pH out of whack. You need a foliar spray with micronutes. In flower I hold up a piece of cardboard to keep it off the buds. I would test all the valves (especially the back corner, it appears dryer than the rest) and make sure they are not clogged, test pH a few times in a few places, and immediately get her sprayed with some Optic Foliar to feed her untill I could sort out the water problem.

Another good cheap fix for gnats is a layer of sand on top of pot. That with diatoms and maybe a NEEM oil spray if they are persistent.

It looks like a big potassium / phosphorus deficiency....

Good eye there man. That plant and pot has an issue uptaking water from the tray. I pulled it out of the tray to flush it a few days ago because I thought I had lockout. It was light for sure. So I flushed it. Then emptied the tray and the res as well and reloaded and watched it re-flood the tray no problem. And then I picked it up every day and it was getting drier but maybe not uptaking water from the tray again. Its hard to say because its going to get lighter after a flush as it dries out up top. But the valve tested fine for me. Maybe there is salt buildup on the bottom of the pot and it can't wick very well now. I might do a combo of gravity and some hand watering on that plant based on how much it weighs each day.

I used my PH8 probe and checked all the pots today. The PH value in the coco seems to constantly creep up on me to above 6.6 or so when a couple of days ago it was 6 to 6.2. Not sure why this happening. Anyway this morning I flushed 4 of the 6 plants using RO ph'd to 6.1. Will spray optic foliar as well. And dust on a layer of DE. And just let things dry out for a day and then put them back in the trays and on the autopot reservoirs. The water/nutes in the reservoirs are all good at about PH 6.2.

I know it does look like that. But I'm using a program of Remo nutes in a hydro coco setup so the NPK should be just fine. But PH and lockout might be the real problem.
