HI,

I am new to growing and am having a problem with white spots on most of the older leaves, but now they are starting to happen on the new leaves as well.

I ave had these clones for about 3 weeks now and they have gone from about 3 inches to about 13 inches.

I have 5 compact florescent lights in the closet with about 2500lumes per square foot. setup at 18-6 cycle and watered every two days, about 100ml a day but now they are at about 150 - 200ml a day.


I am not sure if this is normal or not please help.

Spider mites lay eggs under the leaf. While the eggs turn into larve they suck the juice from the leave. Thats what creates light green almost white spots on my plants. They hatch and its a nightmare.

The spider mite is very small. One way to check and see if you got them is to take a white sheet of paper and hold it under the leaf and shake the leaf. If you see tiny spots moving slowly you got them. You can get a magnifying glass and look under the leaf . When I get them in flower I squeeze the leaf and look for there guts. But thats just me. I hate the dam things.

What is the best way to get rid 9f them fast and easily?

I heard spraying the leaves with a very mild solution of soap and water will work.
 
Soapy water is used along with neem oil. The idea is soap makes the solution spread out easier the other thing it does is smother the mites.

There is no fast and easy way to get rid of them. You have to kill the adults and wait 2 weeks then kill the juveniles before they lay eggs again.

Neem oil and soapy water or Einstein oil and soapy water, Safers spray by itself. Treat the underside of the leaf at lights out, wait a day then spray with water to remove it. Then two weeks later do it again before you see them.

Another thing that works is a Dotor doom fogger, you still have to kill the eggs though.


By the way,
High humidity and cooler temps will slow them down. If you have nothing spray the under leaf with water.
