My third grow-- first time I had problems with thrips, second grow it was powdery mildew....I just got these girls a few days ago and they looked great at 4 weeks old. Transplanted them on Sunday (today is Wednesday) into my 3 gallon pots from the 1 gallon they were in, everything looked good except for a little drooping which I attributed to shock. Well now I can see that there are bugs....they are so teeny tiny but I can still see them on the leaves crawling around, and they are longer rather than round like a spider mite, no wings, maybe they are baby thrips?? Anyhow here is the leaf damage....I just sprayed with AzaMax so we'll see what happens. Am I reading the instructions for Azamax correct that you should drench them down good every 7-10 days? Or what application style do you all recommend? I JUST got these girls and need them to survive and be healthy!!!:cry:

You got little plants and a bit of shock...forget the spray and gently rubs the leaves to kill the little bastards, and the eggs. Then wet down the leaves to wash off the spray you put on, and put a small fan on them.Spider mites cant survive in wind, they blow away I guess. I only advise this because they are drooping and dont need additional problems! This way is safe for smaller plants just keep you soil medium moist, I lost a good chunk of my spring clones dut to one spider mite infested plant, and they will be back! I use safer insect soap spray, its mild and works almost as good as neem. Forgot to mention...remove those damaged leaves, so they dont hide any eggs! Clean up your grow room young man! good luck

Well I did already spray them down with the Azamax, and when they are ready to water (probably tomoro), I was planning on doing a soil drench too-- they aren't babies, these girls are 4 1/2 weeks old-- so I hope they can handle it! And if I should remove the damaged leaves, I definitely will??!

Do not keep your soil moist, thats bad for plants, you ll get root rot. Let the soil dry out between waterings, thats what plants like.
