im experiencing some pretty bad problems not the least of which is a Spidermite problem.
I'm 6 weeks in veg (longer than I'd like, thanks) and after using avid in week one I'm infected again RIGHT before I was going to flower, so after trying green cleaner, three days later I hit them again with avid at 1.5 ml per gallon. I had a ph issue with my meter early on that I have now corrected, however the plants lower leaves are curling up and turning black. I'll clean the affected leaves off, only to have the plants look worse the next day. New growth is lush, green, healthy and "praying" despite a number of what appears to be large black spider mites. I'm not entirely convinced they ARE spider mites though, as the mites I see on the lower leaves are at most, half the size and mostly white in color. The avid seems to be working on the smaller ones and the bigger black ones seem to only be hanging out on the upper leaves, unfazed by anything.
