Transparent spots on leaves.

[BultitoAsesino]

This is my first time growing cannabis and I don´t know much. Some transparent spots appeared on my new plant overnight. Is this some kind of bug? is the plant sick? what can I do? Thank you.

It might be leaf miners, or not. This is a great page for diagnosing bug problems. http://www.growweedeasy.com/bugs-pests-symptoms-marijuana-grow

Thank you! the link you provided was very helpful! It seems to be miners, yes. Sadly I´ll have to wait untill monday to buy neem oil, I hope it is not too late by then.

Bienvenido!!!

In the meantime, you could mix up a little of either of these:

Oil-Based Insecticide
Oil spray insecticide can easily be made from mild soap (Castile works great) and vegetable oil. This simple, yet effective spray will kill insects such as aphids, thrips, and mites by suffocation. The solution blocks their pores.

To create your own solution, mix 1 cup of oil with 1 Tbl of soap. Mix it up well then dilute 2 teaspoons of it in 1 quart of water.

Soap-Based Insecticide
Soap spray insecticide is similar to oil spray, except it doesn’t have the vegetable oil. It also kills insects but is particularly useful for whiteflies, mites, and beetles. Soap spray and oil spray can be used at any time, but are best applied near dawn or dusk.

To make a soap-based insecticide mix 1 ½ tsp of mild soap with a quart of water. Spray it directly on our plants.

Lets see what happens, the leaves are now hanging because of the weight of the water.

The homemade insecticide did not work very well, today I found what seems to be a thrip and a green worm. I accuaired neem oil today and used it on the plant. I'll submit pictures of the perpetuators.
