Please help diagnose Bonsai mothers

[COGrowBro]

Please help me diagnose the problem with my Bonsai mothers. Five of the 6 plants are 10 months old the other is only 2 months old. I have grown them in a cabinet until the last week. They are in 1 liter pots, watered and fed lightly. The soil pH is at about 6.5.
I just can’t figure out why they seem so unhealthy. I have no problems growing a normal crop, just trying to grow Bonsai mothers. I do have to fight gnats off and on.

looks like you sprayed something the girls didnt like

Flush heavy with water. Apply a bit of gypsum, liquid bone meal, etc... those pots are getting a bit small.

 

[COGrowBro]

I have sprayed with SM-90 and MaxiCrop just like I do with maturing plants.

 

[COGrowBro]

The pots are small to keep them small. I plan on cutting down the roots allowing more growth every 6-12 months.

Looks like broad mites too me check with a scope, I like a scope with a range between 200/400 x magnification good luck

They just look root bound to me.

you have thrips or leaf miners hard to tell with those pics but you do have bugs.....


also don't cut any clones off for awhile let the plant recover. cutting clones or leaves off will only stress the plant more.




kill the bugs first!




good luck!

That sucks! I have bugs. The closeup is with a Zorb (up to x53). What should I do? Also what does a 200-400 mag cost?

 

[slownickel]

You all think that burnt tips can be caused by insects too?

I think there are a bunch of bugs cause the plants have nutritional issues. High N brings bugs.

What goes first, the cart or the horse?

 

[COGrowBro]

I use the Aurora Soul program and usually skip the (N).

hey mate, dealing with the same issue with my bonsai mummas. sadness. i've sprayed with an organic neem solution and i'll get a compost tea brewing. anything to help the ladies recover. neem and compost teas have worked for me in the past....

Ok, need to keep her happy.

the burn in that first pic still looks like a burn from oil (SM90?) that reacted to light...

but yeah bugs suck too, interesting about the nitrogen, thanks slow nickel, been liking your posts here lately!
