First, I will say that I 100% am aware that I have spider mites. They are not running rampant (yet) and until the warmer weather recently(AT~68 RH-55%), the cooler weather slowed them down to the point I'd didn't bother treating but with a damp cloth wipe daily.
Now, I've noticed the little buggers back, and treated one plant today with foliar Azamax mixed correctly (I like to do my research, and LOOOOVE this forum for it's treasure trove of information, THANKS RIU!) I want to drench my soil for the remaining two.
I was wondering if anyone had any useful (ie: you've tried it) info on how to do this safely. I've read the directions multiple times, and read tons of info here and elsewhere...but I'm weary of pouring this stuff on my babies if I dont really need to.
Tonight I noticed some of the leaves on my plants look deficient in something? Maybe it's from the spider mites, maybe its deficiency, maybe both.
I've narrowed down the possible deficiencies to Mn(Manganese), Fe (Iron), S(Sulfur), and/or Zn(Zinc)
They're all "good" bagseeds from my collection, just don't remember what, Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, only nutes have been blackstrap molasses / high P seabird guano / distilled h2o. I try to be as organic as possible
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do? Should I just continue with wiping since the mites aren't too bad? Azamax? What about the deficiencies?
Sorry to be so long winded, just like to be as precise as possible. Thanks ahead of time for any help...definitely learning tons from you guys!
Cheers!
