micmac Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Oops just read your post micmac....totally agree that there's an issue underground as well as above. Would love to know what the cause is if BB finds out.quite possibly, sorry be so brash b4 , but repotting and seasol then some cal mag , n see where to go from thereNumber 1 priority, stop larva feeding on roots, they could also be causing any nute deficiency Sure you ain't got fungus gnats?

greenqueen2 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 BB posted a picture a week ago or so and in that picture was the culprit it was flea beetles and theres tell tale signs of fleas beetles being that theres pin holes all over his plants,the effects on cannabis are simular to gnats,it doesn't mean that there couldn't be other bugs at play here as well but BB hasnt reported any sign of gnats as far as i know Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmac Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 The beetles are small and shiny, with large rear legs. Eggs are laid at the base of plant stems in early summer after a feeding period, and larvae feed at the roots. Adult beetles, about 1/16 inch long, feed on foliage, producing “shotholes” in the leaves.All I'm saying is the larva are feeding on roots, there's no cure at this stage, only eradicating them will save anything they infestAnd the only way to eradicate is start afreshAt the moment the plant is living on built up supplies n looks like there running out quickly Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missrachael Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Great detective work guys! Just did a bit of research. Never dealt with flea beetles and hope I never do.

ooodog Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) After seeing all your pests BB i'm really glad I had access to the knowledge at OSA. Coco/perlite with 1g of neem powder to 1tl medium. I've never had a bug prob. That and I'm growing indoors. I feel for you, that's basically what happened to the first 6 bagseed plants. Snails, and a shit gardener. I should of read more before I even purchased the worst possible potting mix available. It was a good learning tool. Good grow thoughts coming your way. Good luck.

Beginner_bud Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks everyone for the amazing help here! Your detective work has been top notch. I would never have suspected anything doing damage underground. I will be doing a full repot this Saturday and washing the soil completely away. These flee Beatles have been a f**king nightmare haha Any suggestions on a solid grow medium I’d be able to pick up from bunnings?

Cheers BB Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNo Bunnings shit is good. And don't get anything with slow release ferts in it. If I were you I'd get a seed raising mix and use hydro nutes. I had great success on my last grow with that. Osmocote seed raising mix is good and mix with perlite. 30% ish is what I used.But someone else might have a better option. But everyone will agree that Bunnings is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
