I had spider mites...sprayed neem oil w soap and havent seen any since. I'm gonna hold back on spraying too often as suggested and spray again this thurs.
So I went out today and got some ocean forest soil, filled my 3gal pots, and transplanted the little ladies into them after flushing the 1gal pots they were in. Most had decent root development suprisingly, although some were lacking a little bit. I can't fit the 3gal's in my smaller box so I transferred them over to my scrog box.
I'm hoping the fresh start with good soil and no ph worries will let them recover and get onto a better growth pattern.

So it's the third day of being in the new soil and pots, ladies are looking much better. Some pretty decent new growth is happening, some of the leaves recovered, and I clipped off a few that were on their way to falling off.
Just a few random pics I have for now.

Sep 1 LST
Found about an inch of new growth on a couple of the girls today, specifically the Super Silver. PK is starting to fill back in nicely, and the SC is getting some new growth too.
Decided my one SS being 6-8" taller than everything else was gonna get to be a problem, so I LST-ed it. Here's a couple pictures

Right on. LST is your friend. Glad the plants are recovering.
A bad day in the grow rooms is better than a good day at work!
She seems like a good plant to train too, mid-section internodes were pretty long so this will help fatten up that part of the plant. I'm excited to see it respond.
Woke up today and found a tiny bit of nute burn on a couple SC younger leaves. "Morning" for the girls is tonight for me so I'm gonna wait until then and water, extra water for the SC so I can hopefully dilute a little bit of the FFOF nutrients. I'll try to put up pics later.
I was about to ask if you have taken a real close look at the bottom of your leaves. It does look an awful lot like mites in some of the pics.Originally Posted by CannabisCorps
edit: didnt see page 2 oops. if your room is well vented to outside you might want to look into hot shot pest strips. The neem is not gonna rid the plants of mites but only slow them down slightly.

One step ahead of ya bud I got a pest strip 2 days ago. Guess i forgot to mention that on here. And so far so good, no new damage or live mites seen. I give a pretty thorough inspection every day.
Is the tomato fertilizer your using organic? If not then you need a ph meter, and if it is then you are applying too much if your burning your plants. A lot of generic tomato nutrients cover the npk spectrum 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 something like that. Well of course if you see numbers higher than 10 on the bottle then of course its synthetic and a choice needs to be made now if you want to go organic or synthetic.
If you don’t have the money for commercial nutrients then go ahead a find a bag of guano (High “N”) at a nursery or craigslist a farmer might have some for sale. A nylon sock, bucket of water and set it in there for a few days, stirring the water by hand every now and then, aerating the solution by hand. This should get you by until you get your nutrients together. Let me know your nutrient situation and we can get you sorted out.
It really seems as if you’re watering too often. I’ve counted 3 times water to include the watering with transplants. If I’m right then you’re over watering. In two gallon containers I might water once a week, especially in veg and early flower. But you had these clone since the 22nd and I would believe that you should only be at one transplant and two waters tops.
Lastly if you have mites right now, then go ahead and bomb the place. The neem oil is good to use, just make sure your applying before lights come on and lights go out. But you need to bomb in order to eliminate any mites. You also should scrub everything in that grow area included meters and bottles with bleach water.
Welp, enjoy! lol
I already mentioned that I stopped using the tomato food. Not trying to f*ck with it anymore. I had some and figured while I waited on my FF nutes I'd give it a whirl. never again cheaping out on soil, nutes, or water quality. FF nutes are here, plants are in FFOF and have plenty of everything from that. And youre correct, I have watered the plants 3 times including transplant. They're 3gal pots though and it's also been 2 full weeks as of tonight. Thats only every 5 days, they are typically dry an inch deep as of late day 3, so 2 days later I know the whole pot is dry. They don't look overwatered, I know the typical droopy look they get. And as mentioned I already took care of the mites, no signs of any in the area in over a week without spraying.
I appreciate the input, but I feel like you didn't read the whole thread. I took care of most of the stuff you talked about.
