Help Needed. Mites?

Shroomtrips · Jan 22, 2019

Hi all. I have some zkittlez in my tent, they are about a month in vega in coco, canna coco nutes, temps at 17-23C. Is this the first signs of spider mites? Its mostly on the very bottom leaves, upper and top leaves seems not to be affected. Thanks in advance for your input.

Looks like thrip damage to me. See if you can find any yellowish cigar looking bugs hiding in the crevices of the leaf. They will be very small at first but the adults will move down to the soil. The adults will be darker and have wings. Insecticidal soap is an easy fix.

I'm not familiar with it. I use 5 tablespoons of myer's soap to a gallon of water and about a tsp of vegetable oil which helps the soap stick to them. shake it up and spray the leaves. Try to get the bottom of the leaves because that is where they hang out.

Right. I sprayed them with Velgro a couple of days ago, it seems that it helped. BUT. I entered my tent yesterday and found my young plants all curled up and new growth twisted... Can thrips do that?? Ph fluctuations? Idk....

Check your PH and PH pen/meters.

I re-calibrated my pen... Ph in my tank was 7.5. Fcuk. I mixed new solution at 5.7 and rinsed down all the pots. I hope they will come back to normal...

Yeah close look. Some pots too big. Ph out. How dry is the air?

RH is 50-60%. I looked at the leaves under the scope ant cant see anything, any mites etc... I had thrips, after couple of foliar sprays it looks like they are gone. I shook all plants with white paper under them and cant see a single thrip. I think this curling and twisting might be because of high PH and possibly overfert... And about pots.. I always start clones in plastic 1l pots and when i see roots at the bottom i transplant them to 15-20 ltr pots

Don't change anything other than your PH, just keep an eye on your PH for a week and things should swing your way. Keep the same amount of nuits and strength going in to flush out the higher PH.
