My first grow - Girl Scout Cookies outdoors!

I gave the girls one final feeding of the Gaia Green Power Bloom. Unfortunately, I started to notice spider mites on two of my plants. You can see their bites which are the white spots on the top of the leaf. Then with the magnifying lense you can see the little reddish-brown spider mites. Treatment - I used a combination of physical removal with painter's tape and sprayed the infected plants with a fine mist of peppermint oil diluted in water. It is not recommended to spray neem/peppermint oil on your flowers, so I tried to avoid spraying on the flowers directly and soaked the leaves instead. I felt it was worth the risk. I treated again with peppermint oil ~4 days later.
