I had spider mites, and now they are gone , plants that were over a couple of months old, are taking shape as healthy again, But my little seedlings are very tiny and yellowed .and are not growing or turning green yet. so I would not lose them when they were mite bourne I gave them a few sprays of spinosad. I think they can't handle it. I gave them a worm castings tea spray hoping to rid the plants of any bug juice. but goings are slow ...any suggestions would be appreciated. I want these back ...HELP

If they are yellowing,those seedlings are going to take a while to recover. If they recover at all. I would do as Buds stated and cease spraying. That's not going to help at all at this point. Only time will tell if they will recover.

My bet is that they WILL recover it will just take time... That's all. It's your decision if you want to wait it out or just pull them.

What strain are you working with?

the seedlings are like human babies, easly hurt, and take time to recover, not like an adult, give lots of tlc(no more spray) there probly just feeling sorry for them selves. If they were really poorly they wouldn't have hung on for life so much and died over night ..good look

My most recent seedlings are nearly three weeks old, and are just sprouting their 2nd and 3rd set of leaves, albeit there are just random bag seed that I acquired, and I put them directly under 12/12 lighting, point being, all seeds/seedlings/plants will sprout/grow at their own rate. It's good you are so concerned for the well being of your plants, and they will feel your love and care.

As mentioned, cease the spraying, and allow them to grow the way they want. That's really the best way to see for sure how things might be from here on.

Just so you know its almost impossible to get rid of spider mites, u may kill all the mites on ur plant but u still have eggs in the soil, usually its a battle to the end just trying to make it to harvest without them completely ruining ur crop, whatever the case may be in ur situation i wish u luck and happy growing

Yea... Don't know if you have the seedlings under a light, but if your tender little ones had drops of spray on them under the lights, they're cookin.

Negative. Plants are small now and yellowed not even the mites want them.to be on the safe side I looked at them with a magnifying glass nada. and I have a loupe I don't need a loupe to see mites. my naked eyes can see the little horrors. Besides the mites moved to the greener bigger plants, that where I got nailed them i.If I have to chuck out the soil, so be it ..that is my next step if they come back.
