20161105_195256.jpg 20161105_195250.jpg So I am 6 days into flowering. Some of the leaves are looking like this. feeding foxfarm grow big at half strength in Roots organic 707 soil. Used Mighty Wash for spider mites about a week ago and rinsed her very well the next day. The new growth looks like it's being eaten from the side but I'm not finding any visible bugs. Thank you for your help.20161105_195256.jpg

first, you probly still have mites, i'd spray with something with spinosad in it.
then, looks like you've been overfeeding for a while, which can cause lockouts, looks like P deficiency. spray, and water with just ph'ed water a couple of times, then, if you're using 1/2 strength, go to 1/4 for a while. apparently that soil takes some time to run out of nutes

N tox, overwatering, and infestation. Careful with the Formula 707. I use it, and it retains water for 5+ days.

Yeah I'm starting to think that soil is really hot, and may not need any additional supplement for a long time. I did have a mite problem, even at 30 times magnification I can find a single mite. Could the damage have taken a couple of days to show?

It isn't hot. It's actually a lot lighter than anything else Roots or FoxFarms puts out. It's meant to be light so you can feed it earlier. I think you just used too much Grow Big.

I have noticed that it holds water forever, so I think I'm going to leave her alone for a couple days, and let her drink what's in the soil and then start it up real slow again.
How old is she? I'm nearly finishing week 6 in veg and this is when she's starting not to mind water closer to every three days in a 5 gallon bucket. I'm being cautious, though.

watch for any new mite damage. if you don't see any new damage i guess you got them, but i'd keep a sharp eye out for a couple of weeks.
