crap! first time iv posted in here in ages...just when i thought i was going well
last night i noticed some white flys buzzing around my plants. i gave a spray with organic pyrethrum (almost to the point of run-off). i think i might have given too much, i checked my plants today (14 hours after spraying) and they have these 'splotches' over SOME of the leaves on all the plants including new growth.
im guessing the pyrethrum is the cause of this but im not sure. if someone knows what this is please let me know.
i should also mention that this happened around the same time i introduced the plants to the HPS...i did the palm test, doesnt seem too hot. no problems in the past anyway.
