Hi,

Reammended Soil, 10g fabric pots, photo, veg, rh 70, temp 77, fed Dr Earth 444 about 2 weeks ago. Gave it water with calmg the last few watering. Should I give it bone meal? Any thoughts on the issue? I initially thought it was too warm.

Your issue is bugs, either thrips or spider mites I think. At this rate if you dont treat your plants, they wont make it to the end. Its early enough to use a fogger. Do it twice, once asap and then again in one week. Do it with lights off. Dont breath it in.

The pick with the arrow shows your pH is wildy off. Leaf is twisting so bad it's almost tearing. pH of inputs for soil 6.2-6.5.

Also advanced case of spider mites. In the second pic you can see fully mature adults on webs.

You humidity is way too high. Spider mites love warm and humid. Get that humidity down and drop the temps to 70 while you treat the mites. Or if you elect to start over clean the room very very well.

Good luck20230831_002254.jpg

To get rid of the mites first manually remove infected leaves and any mites you can see. Vacuum cleaner is a nifty tool for sucking them off the leaves.

Then I would Dr Doom fogger those bastards twice 3 days apart. Once that is done inspect the plants and if you signs of survivors, fog them again. That should do it.

The Best Predator For Preventative Applications: Amblyseius californicus
Amblyseius californicus is also an effective predator of Spider Mites and can be introduced at lower temperatures than the Phytoseiulus. The californicus can also survive without Spider Mites for a prolonged period of time and can feed on pollen. This enables them to be introduced earlier and before Spider Mite appear. Their activity starts from temperatures over 10°C up to about 33°C.

They are available in bottles, or breeder sachets, that can be hung on plants, releasing predators over a period of weeks. They can be combined with Phytoseiulus for an effective bio control programme.



Amblyseius californicus predators can be released from our breeder sachets. Hang these from your plants and enjoy prolonged and preventative control over Spider Mite.

after you treat your plants, get some of these to keep any infestation at bay

I'm reading people also use citric acid diluted in water and sprayed during lights out. They've had success. I guess it kills soft bodied insects. I want to basically hit them from multiple angles to ensure they're absolutely gone.

pic #2 looks like spidermites.

HATE those f*cking things.
lots of ways to deal with them. better get on it now and start the 2 week process, or they are bound to get MUCH WORSE very quickly.

I ordered 2 foggers. I also picked up the Captain Jack's. The fogger does the leaf area. I need to drench as well.
