What nutes are you using?
Problem started when I transplanted with a new bag of coco, must have been salts etc in it and e.c from plain water was 2.6, so I flushed, got rid of the crap, probably done about 3-4 massive feeds with shit loads of run off since to try and bring it down in between the normal feeds.

Nutrifield range - not the best not the worst. Have used many times without issue.
Have you been adding in extra nutes to try and sort out the defficencies? If so you may be making things worse i recomend flushing with plain phd water and making a new mix at the normal levels of nutrient. are the plants in flower or veg? If in flower could be fucked in veg wait till solid new growth to see wether it is working. Also need to understand that they wont turn green by tomorrow it takes 1-2 weeks for the plant to show its on the right track dont keep chopping and changing it. Is it a new strain youre trying i had a strain that had a same sounding issue to this that just would not come good i tried for a few months with strong feeds light feeds no feeds and it just was a runt of a seed. Im no expert tho this is just what i would do.

2.6 is massively high id say thats your problem use better coco

Have you checked the ec of your tap water before watering just to check your tap water is all good?

Haven't been adding extra nutes, just adding the regular amount of nutes but running shit loads through and getting heaps of run off with the hope that i'll come down.

Have some in all stages and all are affected the same way

Ok well that rules out the tap water and genetics bein bad. Yeah sounds like coco is trash but it should come good i mean coco is coco once its flushed right? So all plants are affected did you transplant all the plants then the problems started?

Maybe one of the more experienced growers on this thread like @OzyM8 can help

Okay so it turns out that there's quite a big difference between 40x and 100x, who would've thought.

Couldn't see bugs at 40x, 100x there are fucking mites everywhere.... (not spider mites)


recommendations to getting rid of them welcome.. I don't need to hear "oh gee they're hard to get rid of once you have them" I know that!!


Have used diatomaceous earth to dust over the tops of leaves so far to atleast slow them down..

If you arent scared of a bit of chemical kill-a-mite will destroy them (dont recommend for anything past 2 weeks flower though the packaging says its fine) ive used this when ive had broad/russet mites which are near impossible to get rid of with your typical neem and what not, spray once forget you ever had em

I don't really mind, the ones in flower are still stretching so wouldn't be too late..

But I'm only scared of using chemical shit because I feel it'd absolutely wreck the leaves even more then they already are ?
