Weird leaf..

[dildano]

I'm in a small town in east europe, not a lot of shops and not verry good merchandise they sell here, but i'll see what I can find, if not I'll order something from the web as I usualy do. This been going on for at least a week now, and It seems like there is only 1 of them, or at least not enough to make babies (I hope) because the pace is steady and no matter How much I looked with magnifier and all I can't seem to see any eggs or larva or anything. I only saw that one thing flying for an instance, I tried to grab it with my hand but failed, I can't see it anymore. Tried shaking the plants and everything I could to make it fly again.. I hope it is a lonely bastard, still i agree with you this needs to be stopped ASAP before it gets out of control.

What is the weirdest that I didn't have any problem like this my previous grow in summer when tehre are tons of insects, and I have one now in winter when all is frozen.. where do they come from? Before this grow I carefuly cleaned the tent and the tanks and everything... weird.

As I expected, not much luck, I got something but it looks very cheap and dodgy certainly not organic, it says it is universal insecticide, but I donno I think I'll order something better online and be patient till it arrives maybe I'll try the tobaco juice method? What do you guys think? What do I risk if I use this? It is made to be used on plants, but it is chemical and it sais on it that it is very toxic for aquatic organisms?!?!.

tobaco is poisoness to cannabis is what ive been told
try and find some people on here from eastern europe, they may be able to tell you were you can buy from and what are good brands, also maybe some sticky fly paper, its yellow to attract flys and you can hang it in your grow space, if there is just one, or just a small few it may do the trick

yea I just installed a sticky fly paper, and I will also try the tobacco juice method, because I don't want to risk that insecticide being toxic to my dogs, they are more important to me than any plant. I do have a few online grow shops that have good organic insecticides, but they alol seem to be specialized on certain pests. I don't even know precisely what I have. Later when my girlfriend comes home, I will also take each of them out clean the tent, and inspect them carefully before putting them back maybe i'll find the suspect that way.

Tobacco juice failed for me aginst grasshoppers. But didn't hurt them.
But a master from the overgrow days (uncleben) taught me to use Imidacloprid / Bayer adv. from Walmart.
It's a synthetic nicotine that's incredible!
One application to the soil kills all 6 legged pests.
Very safe to animals an people.
It's the silver bullet.

maybe give the sticky paper a day before the juice just incase it does the trick

Tobacco Spray Damage to my Pineapple Kush,

I had thrips, and I think I followed advice from someone who posted, but had not used this method. Now my other plants did not show more than very minor damage, and they all recoverd, but it delayed the Pineapple Kush harvest by three weeks.

Not saying there is not a safe method. Or not to use it, but be careful. But if you think about it, Tobacco is full of oil that can smother the breathing of your plant. not to mention it contains other chemicals that are not organic.

Just my opinion

hmm that is scary looking, are you sure it was from the tobacco? Just asking because everyone I hear speaking about that method say it is perfectly safe. I think I'll follow StormsEniGma's advice and give the sticky paper a day to do it's job. BTW I got a pack of 4 papers, you think one is enough or I have better chance if I put all 4 in diferent places in the tent? I think in the small space one should be enough innit? https://www.autoflower.org/members/stormsenigma.html

 

[StormsEniGma]

i think one is enough, you have only seen one bug, and the paper is supposed to attract them, if its still buzzing around and eating your plant after a day then maybe give the juice ago, just be careful
you could also try diluting your incecticide and giving that a little go, maybe test it out on one leaf first?

what ever you decide i hope you get that fucker :smokebuds:
