I had 2 plants that I started inside in March and until now they were doing fine. I transplanted them from 3 gal plastic pots to 10gal smart pots with local soil, worm casting and perlite on 6/10. The only difference in the soil mix from the 3gal is a higher percentage of worm casting, about 30% total.
I water and fertilized them at that time and again on 6/12 when the leaves were drooping , they came right back up and were happy. Watered again on 6/14 and noticed spider mites and bought some Azamax and diluted 12ml to one quart of water then sprayed on the 16th in morning before the sun was on them.
No later than 2:00pm the tops of the leaves and stems were twisting and falling over. I didn’t know what to do so I watered one of the plants to see if it would help but it didn’t. By that evening they were both looking like they were dying. As of today the 18th of June I think it’s too late for them to bounce back. It looks like transplant shock except that they were transplanted a week ago and the leaves and stems are twisted.
I have some seeds I could get started but is it too late for the outdoor season in Oregon (Columbia River Gorge)?
