Greenhouse grow. I am 2 months in and just pulled the males. Moved my females to outside in my field and where set on a water timer...twice a day for 16 minutes each. Got back from vacation and all was good with the girls but noticed white spots and now it is getting brown and looks like someone is having lunch on them. I dont see a damn thing. I moved them back into my greenhouse and was gonna but the water back to once a day thinking they were getting to much water. Leaves are starting to fade also. HELP!!! I need to act today and treat if I can because I am leaving for another week for business and wont be back in Canada for 7 days!! Help!!

Nothing under leafs either with magnifier. I thought maybe spider mites

a little bit of neem oil sprayed on might work if its an infestation

I live in rural rural Canada. Does walmart or another gerneral store have something that might work??

Ok...neem oil has been applied. Hope I didn't put too much on...it is not very thick and is like water almost. I was expecting and thicker oil like spray. but, it is on. Hope it fixes it also

I think neem oil is like 98 or 99% water. It doesn't look like spider mites or else there would probably be more webbing on the bottom judging by all the wholes in the leaves.

Sorry I can't identify what the problem is but if I'm seeing things correctly you can cross spider mites off the list but it does look like a pest of some sort.

Thanks Rustcus! You think it could be beetles?

bro the neem is good as a preventative but not so good at killing straight up.
I would spray with chem. Safers Endall or something like that....no buds yet, u gone for a week so wont know if neem is working.. and its a guarantee kill. lady bugs or something eating yer leaves. But it aint spider mites for sure

That looks very simalar to what happened to my plant, Is it happening predominantly at the bottoom. If so check the loer leaves and soil for little white insects that look like 1cm pieces of thread. they jump like a spring and eat the leaf.

Alas i found no soloution and was close to harvest so i chopped.

Good luck
