speckled leaves.

[jammo1988]

hello all

im having a problem with my grapefruits. they are grown in the same organic soil as the rest of my plants and given the same feed yet for some reason they have developed speckled leaves. could this possibly be mg or iron deficiency?

the pictures are poor but you get the idea

any help would be much appreciated.

looks like a bug prob.....need clearer pics

 

[jammo1988]

pretty sure its not bugs as i regularly check and all my other plants in the same room are bug free. the specks are within the leaf and not external.

grasshopper....

you must look much closer my son. I believe you have a THRIP problem.

Yup...thrips. Nothing else will leave pure white spots like that... are they in little lines?

Bottom line, take a better pic. The grass in your yard is in focus, but not the grass we wanna see

Bug or not GF needs lots of root space. Gf will show all kinds of stresses.

 

[Guest]

GF under stress will get small white spots turning to orange finally the leaf will drop off. My guess is ....pics not clear enough

yep. i came to the conclusion it was thrips last night after finding this picture.

thanks guys.
