Type of diseases and pests of marijuana

Marijuana plants are susceptible to a variety of pests and diseases that can affect their health and performance. Here, some of the most common problems that cannabis growers can face are described:

Types of insects that attack marijuana:

  • Mites: These tiny arachnids, like spider mites and cyclamen mites, can cause serious damage to marijuana leaves. They feed on the plant's sap and leave behind small spots and cobwebs.
  • Thrips: Thrips are tiny insects that feed on the juices of marijuana leaves, causing characteristic damage in the form of silver or tan spots. They can also transmit diseases to plants.
  • Aphids: Aphids are small sap-sucking insects that tend to cluster on the shoots and young leaves of the plant. Their feeding weakens the plant and can cause growth deformities.
  • Whitefly: Whiteflies are small flying insects that feed on the sap of the leaves, leaving yellow and sticky spots on the leaves.
  • Caterpillars: Caterpillars are butterfly larvae that feed on marijuana leaves. They can cause significant damage if not controlled in time.

Types of bad fungi for cannabis:

  • Mildew: This fungus manifests as a white powder on the plant's leaves. It can weaken the plant and affect its ability to photosynthesize.
  • Botrytis (Gray Mold): Gray mold is a fungus that can infect buds and flowers, ruining an entire crop if not controlled in time.
  • Powdery Mildew: Powdery mildew is another fungus that appears as a white powder on the leaves, affecting the plant's growth and health.
  • Fusarium: This disease can cause wilting and damage to the plant's roots, being difficult to treat and potentially deadly for young plants.

Types of dangerous viruses for marijuana:

Tobacco Mosaic Virus: This virus causes twisted, deformed leaves and yellow spots. Viruses can weaken the plant and affect its growth.

Hop Latent Virus: The hop latent virus is, as its name suggests, a virus that infects vegetables and was discovered in hop strains but now also attacks cannabis.
