Looks nice in there.. I like the extra room myself. Ya if that was hemp mites? It can look like root problems, or watering problems, or heat, overfertilization, or even PH problems. I dealt with some the last two years outdoors,, and another this year got them. Takes 40-50 of them to equal one spider mite in size. They look like little worms only having two little legs upfront, and they turn bottom buds brown look to be seeded or dried to the bone, which is where they start,, then make the top leaves cup upward drastically. Here's what mine looked this year. Like and even with my little scope,, I could only find 10 or 15 per leaf,, man I had it bad last year, was 1,000's of them on each leaflet...
And now after her 'treatments'
I can't see any on her and she's back to normal. But that don't mean they ain't planning a counterstrike. They can survive in soil and as small as they are,, there are ALOT of places of a leaf for them to hide,, and it's hard to get your spray to cover every nook and cranny and dislodge all the air bubbles. I did find they tend to like one strain better than other. And they don't spread to other plants near as fast as spider-mites. Historically, Oregon never had hemp mites. From all I've read they say they migrated here with the big time clone trading that's going on between Oregon and Cali. ??
GL with the rest....
