First I need to say that I have learned an immense amount by poring over everything that I could find time to absorb. Without this knowledge I couldn’t have pulled my last grow off with the results that I am so proud of.
Now on to today’s issue (embarrassing as it is)
I am about to flip 12 plants and a couple weeks back I noticed some leaf issues. I had misdiagnosed it as a mildew problem because my old handheld microscope just didn’t have the detail my vision needs. So I treated with a fungicide, lollipopped my ladies adjusted my fans and when I drove into a town next invested in a better viewer that attaches to my phone. Walked in and went to check my girls. Grabbed a shabby looking leaf that seemed fine yesterday and kaboom - very clearly spider mites we’re rocking it 🕷. The good news is I had read here that Captain Jack Dead Bug would quickly take care of them and had purchased a bottle and put it back for an occasion that I needed it. Just sprayed my girls pretty thoroughly and so far so good. Can’t see anything moving and it’s been 2 hours.
I had just yesterday put the girls in a shower and manually rinsed them after the fungicide and defoliation I wanted to clean them up so I could flip them.
What advice do you have because I haven’t had this experience indoors before and since I stay to myself in a remote area y’all are my info source.
I have diaceous earth I can apply to the floors and also neem /peroxide and a fogger of pylon tr which was obtained from a commercial Cannabis grower out of my state.
I can delay the flip until we get it right but need guidance. Please don’t make me feel more ignorant than I do already. I am learning as fast as possible.
