I've scoped the plants with a 2 lense magnifying glass(unsure of exact strength). But did not see any eggs/mites but did see some white specks on a couple leaf surfaces that were not moving(could just be random dust particles). Also, the soil is not the problem ph wise. I have seedlings transplanted in the same mix doing fine(now isolated from infected clones.) If it is a PH issue could it be from the change of medium ph? Rockwool at 5.8ish-soil 6.5 ish?Scope your plants with at least 40x to 60x magnification. Look at the underside of the leaves and stems. You will see tiny little bugs and white little balls (eggs) if you have mites. Doesn't look like it, but better safe than sorry.
To check PH and EC/PPM/TDS levels, you water/feed until there is run off out of the bottom of your pot.....catch that runoff with a pan or something, pour that runoff solution into a glass and measure the PH and EC levels of your run off solution.
That is the information you need to tell whats going on in your medium and what to do to correct any problems.
Ya looking like it.. should I spray with insecticide soap or just get rid of em? Had them just over a week. Rooting nicely now though and they are some in house genetics.I think broad mite.
What kind of dunk? Would spraying them with insecticide work?They're small enough. You could do a forbid dunk.
You could spray or dunk. Repeat every 2-3 days for a week or two. I’ve only dealt with spider mites. Good chance they have spread to other room so keep an eye.Ya looking like it.. should I spray with insecticide soap or just get rid of em? Had them just over a week.

Might not be worth the risk keeping them then. What do you dunk in? Insecticide soap?You could spray or dunk. Repeat every 2-3 days for a week or two. I’ve only dealt with spider mites. Good chance they have spread to other room so keep an eye.
I use captain jacks concentrate insecticide, comes with mixing directions. People on here rave about pure crop 1 I think it is. If not that important I’d throw them in fire pit and burn them.Might not be worth the risk keeping them then. What do you dunk in? Insecticide soap?
Clean them up then, I always shut down the flower room as I refuse to spray anything on my flowering plants. Good luckOk thanks for the input. Might have to just toss em. Though they are some fire genetics from In-house and possibly the best strains I possess at the moment.. hmm
Spraying works too but to be sure on complete coverage i would dunk the entire plant. Unfortunately in my experience all the soft stuff like soap and azamax do nothing to mites. Not a fan of avid so I suggest forbid 4f dunk . Just don't start flowering for at least 40 days. Also do some research on the chemicals im talking about as well.What kind of dunk?

Been trying to figure it out the past few days before taking action. I have been battling with low humidy(around 30-35 rh but have seen it dip to 20). I guess a stronger magnifying glass would make sense forat for visual confirmation.just make sure you know what the issue is before addressing it!
could be mites, could be boron deficiency with low humidity. etc..
I'll have to keep the flower room going. It's on another level in another room and in a tent. So hopefully it'll be isolated enough. It's only on 7 6-8 inch clones so it seems like spread can be managed at this point.Clean them up then, I always shut down the flower room as I refuse to spray anything on my flowering plants.

I'll have to see what I can get locally. Can't afford to wait for shipping and risk a spread. Unfortunately these were scheduled to go into flower in less than 3 weeks. So it may not be worth it to keep them and risk my other plants that are currently starting to flowerSpraying works too but to be sure on complete coverage i would dunk the entire plant.

you can take clones from flowering plants, thats what i mostly do, usually between 2-3 weeks into flower..I'll have to see what I can get locally. Can't afford to wait for shipping and risk a spread.

Yep I like taking clones after the 12/12 stretch as well. I picked these clones up from someone else though. So they have not had contact with anything in the flower room. I worry about a few autoflowers they were sharing a room with though.. just need some visual confirmation before I do anything though. Need a stronger magnifying glass I guessyou can take clones from flowering plants, thats what i mostly do, usually between 2-3 weeks into flower..
it’s called monster cropping.. to me much better, cheaper and faster, than topping fimming etc..
anyho.. decisions!
