So, just 4 days ago I discovered that my plants are infested with spider mites (the two-spotted 'Borg' variety)! I pulled them all outside and gave them a spray down with Trifecta (all organic, yada yada). Afterwards, around 30% seemed to survive, and could be seen crawling around. I washed them over- and under-leaf. The next day I used Green Cleaner on them, which is a soapy solution. I used the maintenance concentration of 1 oz per gallon, thinking it was the infestation-appropriate concentration of 2oz per gallon. The Trifecta turned the white pistals amber, but the next day they were all mostly white again. The Green Gleaner, turned them all amber/brown, and they are still that way! Will they recover and continue to develop? Time will tell. The day after the GC, no living mites were found, although their eggs are still there! What else have I done? I've reduced the grow room temp to 65. After drying out the buds (to prevent mildew/mold) with a dehumidifier, I allowed the room to climb in humidity again. Will shoot for around 60% RH, which I hope is enough to discourage rapid mite reproduction, while not enough to get bud rot...I hope! This bathing of the plants while in flower is rough on the plants it seems. Perhaps a Doktor Doom pyrethrin bomb (organic) would be better? It would tackle the entire room at the same time. Thoughts?

if its part of the genetics and the whole stem is purple, but if you getting spots or half the stem is purple ect, its more like a nute def.

Thanks Jon_Do, I hope so. That infestation was stressful!

Thank you, Jon. My son is doing an identical grow, though he is using the standard MH and HPS lights. I'm using LEC (CMH) for veg and flower. It will be interesting to see if the difference in lights makes a difference in yield for our identical clone sets.

First grows are exciting, but scary! Your plants are quite healthy and look ready to yield well under those lights! Let us know if you have any questions =)
