This is my first grow, I got this clone on March 27th, put her to flower on april april 22. She was about 18inches when I got her. Vanilla frosting is what they tell me. I believe I have spider mites? I see white little dots on the fan leaves and I found this super tiny brown little bastard creature. Any ideas before adding chemicals or products?

Btw I made this grow tent. PVC 3/4" frame, tarp with gorilla glue black tape all through outside, shade reflectors all on the inside sealed as good as possible with hvac tape. Intake fan at the bottom, restroom exhaust fan on top lol it works, small heater hanging with a temperature controller, humidifier has a controller as well. Just got 1000w led. Shit man I need to get back to work lol
 
Yea take a regular picture but it look like a calmag deficiency but that’s just a guess take a good picture

I was using Mr. B's all purpose 8-8-8, cal mag 3-4ml, 3ml of fish head I believe, 2.5.g of charge at first. Ph 5.5-6. Was using the drops to find ph till I got a pen. Ppm 700-900. But now I got the ph pen and ppm/ec pen and feed it fox farm the main 3, 3-5ml of calmag, Kellogg fish and kepl+molasses at 1tbs per gal. Charge also sometimes.
Ph 5.5-60
700-800ppm
1.5-1.7ec
Consistently for a week on this new feeding schedule, because I found more information on Fox Farm then Mr.b's
Hempy bucket style 80/20 coco/perlite. All this sounds like I got it down but honestly I have only been consistent with this schedule for 1 week. It's a mother fucker trying to get ppm/ec/hp with out your pens.
 
In my opinion it’s a lack of nitrogen but they will tell u in the morning for sure I’m still a newbie

To me that looks like a possible spider mite infestation man, definitely not lacking Nitrogen lol! Its all green and healthy looking except for the small bite marks. Spray with neem seed oil mixed with a little dishwashing liquid. Repeat weekly, the idea is to keep the pests in check via regular spraying from the beginning up until flowering where you dont want to be spraying your buds and hope the plants natural defense system/ immune system is strong enough to deal with pests at that point.

A super important thing about indoor growing is always be careful what you bring in, some spider mite eggs on a set of pruning shears that you used on the tree outside and now on your babies. Boom bobs your uncle

Your plant is not N deficient. I know we all want to help, but N is not your problem. Pests are...plain and simple. Good luck.

I thought that too lol but this is my first grow so I'm just soaking in any good and bad advice so I can get a good schedule/treatment that I like

Hey man thanks bro that good shit. I don't think of outside contaminations. Sheers have always been inside but I do keep her food in cooler outside. Possible hitchhiker on containers and then possible on my girls. Either case I'm going to try neem oil and soup. Do you have a mix ration you use? Have you used "smite spider mite miticite"

I don't see any indication of either a Ca or Mg issue here (Calcium and Magnesium are two different things. "Calmag" is a mixture of both of those and often sold together in a single bottle). Nor is it an N deficiency as you stated in a later post.

For your information, the slight yellowing on the newer growth at the top of the plant doesn't indicate an N issue. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient, which means the plant moves it around the plant where it's needed. Deficiencies of N show up at the oldest growth (bottom of the plant), because when there's a shortage, the plant moves it from the old growth for use in new growth, so it's the bottom leaves that start turning yellow from lack of N.

There's not that much to learn. Give it a good environment, plenty of light, and don't overfeed. If you do those things you shouldn't have any issues. Many issues are caused by overfeeding and then the first thing many do is add even more stuff. Overfeeding can cause nutrient antagonism and deficiencies. Feeding more isn't always the answer and can make things worse. Keep things simple and you'll have a decent grow.

For now the main thing you should be doing is taking care of the bugs. You can use neem oil or that stuff you posted. You'll want to spray every three days about 4 times total. Don't mix stronger than the directions thinking the stronger the better. You'll end up frying your plants.

Good luck. bongsmilie
