Help- Used spray to treat spider mites now leaves look burnt.

First time growing. I’m in flower day 37. I went down to my room and saw little spider mites under leaves. Someone told me to use dish soap and water as a spray. I did that while the lights were on and think it burned my leaves a little… 2 days later I bought Green Cleaner because I still saw the mites and sprayed that while lights were off.
I can’t figure out what is making my plants look like this. I tested the ph and ppms and they’re fine my buds seem to be growing and not burnt but the leaves are turning brown around the edges and curling up. Every website says nute burn but I’m not sure cause 2 of my plants on the opposite side look great not burned at all. If someone could help :’)

Green Cleaner has a high proportion of sodium lauryl sulfate, a strong detergent. You’re probably seeing a chemical burn. The plants should recover if you do not redose.

Thank you! Do you have anything you’d recommend to rid of pests naturally? Someone told me garlic water… I just don’t want the mites to destroy my crop

No. I am a proponent of industrial poisons. For spider mites I would select something polysyllabic and ominously German.

On the gentle organic side my first try would be a spray bottle of 1% dish soap. I like Ultra Dawn. It’ll drown most of the pests. Retreatment and daily (or oftener) inspection
should help. I’d avoid adding alcohol to the mix; that can hurt trichomes.
