Am I SCROGGING Correctly?

No i purchased a spray bottle that is premixed ready to use. I have sprayed it three times in a week though…

This looks like either Aphid or Thrip damage bur id like to lean more towards Aphids with the black dot looking things as the resemble Apids more than Thrips impo i personality have not been having luck with CJDB this year as i battled Thrips at the beginning of this season and Captain Jacks didn’t do a dam thing it has in the past bit not this year idk if it was a old batch or what but i ended up tossing about a dozen plants due to not being able to kill them off

Looks like thrips. The black stuff is their poop. I just posted this on my journal. Spider mite damage is much more speckled and aphids don’t really show damage like that but you just need to scope the underneath of the leaves to id correctly

Good ole bug poop. Make sure you do a bud wash when you harvest.

I scooped up some captain jacks neem oil and coated the plants with it earlier. It says the recoat in 7 days then do it in 14 day intervals till i dont see the problems anymore? Should i just see how this Initial spray goes?

Here are 10 day difference shots!

I was going to purchase some foxfarm liquid nutrients a 3 pack for $36 on amazon, can i just add that to the water reservoirs of the self watering bases?

You might invest $35 or so in a digital microscope camera. (I’m partial to this one, but there are others.) You’ll get 1000X magnification and a 3840 x 2160-pixel sensor that can display it’s image on your phone wirelessly via Wifi or on your computer via USB. Could be very handy for getting a better look at what’s on your leaves.

First pic if from july 14th, and the next is from today, july 30th.

This is what my leaves look like out from under the light. They look super lime green under the lights.

I did i picked up one for around $28. It took some good shots of some of the mites i was dealing with!

Cool. Magnification makes it easier to identify them. Do you know what the small white objects are?

I think it is where they have been sucking the sap out of the leaf when feeding? Im not entirely sure.

Maybe, but I suspect that they’re eggs. Was the photo taken at 1000X? If not, you might attach the camera to a tripod (or something that will serve) so you can get a steady image at full magnification.

I believe you have a photo of a two-spotted spider mite. Is there any webbing visible on the leaves? Are there more on the underside of the leaves than on top? Spider mites like to hide that way.
