Hey all, I just got a Green Crack clone from my local dispensary and by the looks of it looks like it has spidermites or is this a nutrient deficiency? I just got her two days ago and she already looked like this, I transplanted her into a 1 gal pot yesterday morning. She looks to have white specs on various leaves throughout the whole leaf and also some curled leaves to the side not curled up or down. She is roughly 1 month old. Any advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
My set-up is:
Homemade grow box for one plant
3x 26W CFLs (100W replacment)
1x 40W CFL
1x 16in Flouro
Lights on for 18/6
Vermicrop organics VermiSoil
I also have EarthJuice Sugarpeak Vegative but havent used yet. I am going to try to feed her this next watering. 1tsp to a gal. Anyone used this brand of nutes before? Any good?
Also watering with tap water sitting 24hrs+.
I have a swamp cooler near by for temp and RH control. currently at 70-80F and 40-60% hum.
Im also thinking about adding some epsom salts into the watering for cal and mag? Should I do this as well or no?

Any help please, Thanks.:joint::mrgreen: Pics below.

This little whiteish yellow very tiny spots are spidermite bites. Get Don't bug me its a fox farm product. And spray the shit out of that plant while in dark cycle. This will kill spidermites on contect. Next get yourself 2 hanging bug repelents called hotshot any home depot or lowes has them hang on over your plant and put one on the pot itself. It will take about 2-3 treats of don't bug me to assure it killed them all.

You need addres this NOW. a spidrmite infestation can and will destroy your entire grow room. Do not forget to spray under the laves and the dirt too.

If you think you have a Nut burn issue flush with pure water every 2 days for 1 week then wait 1 week with just water before starting your nutes agin.

Thank you for your response. Is there anyway I can use soapy water to spray on the plant and pot in place of the Fox Farm Product?

get some organic bugspray safe for veggies... spray a mild bug spray solution over the leaves and top of the dirt.. you can do this up to 4 weeks before harvesting normally.

The clawed and curled leaves is a sign of overwatering ( not enough air to the roots)

Neem oil will take care of it and its organic. Lowes carries some 3 in one insecticidal soaps that will also work and is organic. As others said before, deal with it now before you have webs and spider shit all over your nugs. In the future, I would suggest thoroughly inspecting anything you buy and even if you don't see anything, quarantine it for a few days to make sure something isn't brewing in the soil.

Thanks all, I have been spraying a mixture of soap/water under and on top of my leaves and on the soil and around the pot, No sign of mites or new mite bites. So I am guessing it worked. Still might pick up those hotshot bug strips just in case they come back.
