Bug or nutrient issue

Hey Growmies,

I have a strange issue going on. On 11/24 I noticed I had an Aphid issue on week 3 of flower. I was able to rid the issue by the end of that week using Dr Zymes and EM-5 as foliage spray and Bauveria Bassiana(I know I’m spelling this wrong lol) in the soil. I haven’t seen a living Aphid for 7 days now. Now in the last 7 days one strain in the tent has seem to gotten much worse(blue dream). There are 3 blue dreams all in the same earth box planter. Those are the only 3 in the tent that seem to be experiencing this issue all other plants are just fine. I’m guess that the issue is in the soil. There is a very slight possibility I didn’t reamend this planter but I’m 80% sure I did. Do you think this looks more like a bug or a nute issue? The pictures don’t show it well but on several leaves there are small brownish spots peppering them.

It looks like the leaves are starting to fade and those brown spots look like a liquid splash with light burns. Just my opinion though.

I agree, probably from spraying for the Aphids. I got the exact same symptom with neam oil. Luckily my spots were still while in veg. I wouldn’t worry it. It also looks like it burned some pistols, but really no harm done.

It’s definitely not light burn since the PPFD is around 700 on them. I also have sour diesel in the tent so the light is pretty high. What’s strange is all the plants got the same treatment for aphids but these were the only strain that look like this. Is there any soil borne diseases that could cause these issues?

Well, it could be a excess nitrogen problem or a root soil pH issue. If you have a way to test your soil pH check it. Are you doing an organic grow?

I am doing a living soil organic grow. It’s probably the 8th grow in this same soil. I haven’t checked PH this run but every time I have checked it, it’s right around 5.8–6.4. I’ll hold off on adding anymore nutes in this run though.
