I've had some problems with my first indoor grow (due mainly to my set up.) I'm on week 5 of flower growing 3 purple kush and 3 gorilla glue in a 2x4 tent with a cheap 1000w Chinese led. Developed some WPM at start of flower more airflow and spraying keeping it under control. Now I've noticed mites and some leaf color issues on my purple kush. Not sure if this color change is normal or nute decencies. Can I live with the mites until the end of the grow? Was also going to do a hydrogen poroxide solution bath on the plants when I harvest. Any help is appreciated thanks.
Temps are pretty low 60 - 68.
Humidity anywhere from 40 - 60%
Seems like the leaves are going purple than yellowing
My loop should arrive tomorrow then I will try identify bug species.
The cold temps will change the leaf color to purple. Most do this on purpose the last week to 2 weeks. Below 65* and the roots stop growing and doing their thing. Try and get it to 70* lights off and at least 5* warmer lights on. 8 would be great. How many days do you run?
As far as the bugs. Figure out what they are 1st. 2nd, start an IPM treatment asap. Make a spray (super cheap to do), spray all floors, tables, etc. NOT the plants if you follow some of our floor spray diy teks. Im now adding d-limolene to my ipm spray mix. That and rosemary oil extract is great for killing mites! Once again, a floor IPM, not a plant spray.

Thanks for all the info guys. I turned up the heat in the room, hard to keep it over 70 during a Maine winter even with the thermostat on 75. First indoor grow was hoping they will be don't in 3-4 weeks than taking a month off between grows and sterilizing the whole room. Got my scope and the bugs are orange looking mites, going to start spraying tomorrow.
