Finally on a roll....
Get an atomizer thin those gals out. Rosemary and neem. Hit them every 3 days for 2 weeks that should do it but if not nukem and start over. The borg are relentless but the atomizer will be a good investment 👌.

Micronized Sulfur has been my go-to treatment for Spider Mites (and any soft body insect pests) for a few yrs now. 2TBSP to a gallon of water w some kind of surfactant to help it spread/stick better, and it knocks them back fast.

I use it every few weeks in veg as a preventative even when I don't have pests. Helps knock back fungal issues as well👍

Just don't use any oil based spray (like Neem) for a few weeks before and after Sulfur treatments or it can cause some phytotoxicity in my experience

Alright fellas, over a week later, still have the mites.

I have cut the population way down, but they remain. I have been treating with neem every other day. I still have all three plants in the same tent. They are only on one plant so far, but it's next to the other two. It has taken a toll on the plant. It was my largest plant, it is now my smallest. Will post pics shortly.

Is it a bad idea to have this plant in the tent with the other two?

Still no sign of the critters, we did good boys! Have one plant turning a pale green here in the last few days. Recently repotted from 2 gal to 5.5 gal. Two in the back are oilspill, up front malty f1
The plant that was looking very ill and full of spider mites is back right, and looking great.20220530_063126.jpg20220530_063105.jpg

The actual color on the ph test seems to be just under 7

the runoff was 6.4

Think its a ph issue? Have only topdressd with worm castings and Dr earth .

I think this has to do with the flip and the change in food requirements after flip, combined with a need for defoliation. There's a lot of plant there that needs food, and those 'solar panels' that don't see light are takers, not makers.

The new growth looks fine, but it will start to starve as it gets older. Most of the necrotic looking stuff is on the older fan leaves and such.

Defoliate, feed. My $0.02

@Wendel didn't mean to sound terse wth that. One thing I have had success with is comparing the pot-size to my harvest expectations. I'll keep 4-8 limbs as tops in a 5g, then the defoliation is just taking everything else. Not all at once more of a constant process. During veg it's just taking loweer fan leaves and sub-par shoots that don't reach the canopy. After flip it's taking a lot of lower flower sites on each limb if they are far enough from the tops that they won't get light. You can usually tell once pistils flush out about week three which lower things only have a few hairs and can only be future larf. All of this is to focus the plants energy on the upper portions that should then get taller/better/stronger - all that bionic man stuff ;)

Hey I do appreciate the help

I water roughly every 3 days(sometimes 2 days depending on pot weight) as for the soil test that was unsettled. Here it is now that it sat all day. Not sure if the soil amount is supposed to be packed or just dropped in(mine was just done dropping it in until the line...it was a tiny amount).
