More leaf issues

Sorry to be a nuisance! Trying to see what might have caused the leaf issues on these two plants. I did add Earth Juice OilyCann calcium/magnesium/humic acid to the fertilizer protocol (stopped using the diluted MG and using Osmocote Plus) every third watering. One has new leaf which looks healthy but the other one is slow to produce new leaves.

I think the same as @RosyPosy looks like fig mites. They are very tiny microscopic insect. You might want to separate those 2trees from the other healthy ones. @RosyPosy whats the sulfur/water ratio to make a spray treatment?

Maybe, it could be mites. From personal experience I had a crazy spider mite infestation last year while indoor growing and they made all my leaves spotted like that but it was yellow spots and on occasion brown. The figs on the tree were ugly looking and had spots all over aswell.

I saw the spotted pattern on the leaves but didn’t see any yellow or discoloration on the leaves so I assumed FMV since it’s green growth all over 🤔
 
Sorry, I deleted my comment. I wasn’t positive because it could be a few things. It’s definitely not from the change in nutrients, unless the new one was applied at too high of a rate. But it’s unlikely for calcium to do that. Something may have been off with the magnesium, but I’m really not sure.

No worries! Actually, I’m so grateful you commented! I tried to inspect the leaves again. There were no mites on the affected leaves but on another one! I finally was able to see it! Yeah! Now, can I ask for your treatment recipe?

I don’t have one. Some recommend wettable sulfur and that’s fine.

I haven’t had as much success with neem oil on them with indoor cuttings. But I have had good success with enzymatic products, like Tweetmint. Also I’ve had success with diluted raw, whole milk.

Until I can get the wettable sulfur tomorrow, I sprayed with diluted Castile soap(1Tbs/1 qt water) with a few drops of neem oil. Hopefully that will help stop it from getting too bad.

They often seem to grow out of the issue, so I wouldn’t worry too much. They don’t affect nearby plants unless they also have weakness. It’ll be okay. 🙂
