IMG_3754.JPG IMG_3753.JPG IMG_3752.JPG I use a already made compost tea with bat and seabird guano and seaweed. I just started using a nitro boost from dr earth and its 7-2-2. This is my first grow so I'm like a newborn baby in this field still learning. Anything helps! Also ph of soil is 6.5

Is there any chance you have a spider mite infestation and they are having their way with your plants?

I don't think so.. is this the only thing that could be causing it? I've found some random webs on the top leaves . Nothing major like I've seen when I googled it, just ransoms strands every once in a while. I had a white fly problem before and used neem oil to get rid of them.

It is a shame it has to happen on your 1st grow but it looks like mite damage and if you see some webbing then it sounds like spider mites.

Thank you so much to all of you! I looked closer and yes spider mites:( I'm spraying more with neem oil to get rid of them. And I did notice the leaves getting a dark green, thanks for identifying that problem as well . Killing two birds with one stone .

neem oil will slow them down but wont cure your issue

there are several natural remedies that some peeps say works well

ive tried several things .. those fuckers are hard to kill

it really boils down to what your concerns are, if you want to keep it as natural as possible cuz your using it for medical issues that revolve around auto immune disfuction then try and find a natural remedy or maybe predatory bugs

if you just want to get rid of the little fuckers once and for all and your not concerned with poisons and exposure, and since your not in bloom, you could spray them with something strong like floramite 1 or 2 times and not think about it again

but floramite isn't approved for use on may types of foods..........it is approved for some but not most ........

neem isn't real good at getting rid of mites, better used as a preventive. people in my shop swear by pyrethrum TR. personally I prefer predator mites. also used flying skull before.

Ha! I am the guy in the garden store lol. Outdoors neem may be good enough. It makes the plant taste bad so most will go elsewhare but not all. Indoors they have no whare else to go and a starven man will eat anything even if it tastes bad. Btw outdoors you will never perminatly get rid of pestes unless you continuesly treat with pestisides... Not good
