Sick Plant - Just began flowering. - Please see photos

[slimjim3000]

The leaves have started to go a funny pattern.

The pattern does not rub off, it is on 50% of all leaves.

Please advise what everyone thinks it could be.

Thank you.

My plant is in the 2nd week of flowering outdoors.

Can everyone please make suggestions as to the best way to eliminate current spider mite problem and any eggs that may be around.
Thank you all in advance

 

[Jimmycricket]

pyrethirin or neem

the sns spider mite spray works well too.

Most good local hydro shops will stock a few different brands of spider mite insecticide & can be pretty tricky to recommend brands as most of us live in different countrys

Thank you everyone, I have purchased a naturally based pyrethrins spray.

Should I cut off all of the effected leaves???

 

[Jimmycricket]

cutting off leaves will do nothing. You just gotta spray the tops and undersides of all leaves. make sure to get everywhere.

 

[slimjim3000]

I have just drenched entire plant In the stuff... What I'm saying is - should I now cut off all the affected leaves?

 

[Fuzzy Duck]

Nope leave em & do a repeat spray in few days time if need be

 

[Jimmycricket]

No but in a couple days you will want to spray the plant again, then in like 5 days after that hit it one more time.

This is because the eggs will hatch new ones, and it will take multiple sprays to eliminate everything and stop new eggs from being lain.

I've had exceptional success with 1.5% peroxide. I'm not fond of chemicals.

I finally got a ph meter - it was close to 4.5.
I purchased some lime and added it to the soil.
The ph went close to 8 and has now backed down to around 7.

However, as you can see all of these leaves suddenly went yellow and died and is starting from the bottom up!!
What do I do???

 

[Jimmycricket]

well adding a little gypsum if you got it AND I DO MEAN A LITTLE!

But basically add more nitrogen.

Nitrogen will lower the PH of the water so when you water it will probably drop to like 6ph then slowly rise back until its at 7.
