So it started a few days ago when i noticed a lot of these tiny pale green dots on my leaves.I searched for spidermites after i noticed the black dot on one leaf and couldn't find any then sprayed pyrethrin anyway as i wanted to be sure as i'm growing off season outdoors and expect flowering soon. and then a couple days later had these brown blotches all over. i put it in indirect light after spraying btw. O i also noticed some browning on the tips of some of my preflowers but they were too small to get a pic of.

Please, please, please help save my baby.

Ok, first of all, the plant looks healthy, maybe too much nutes, that is the dark green. The big splotch is probably from a water droplet in the sun. The smaller brown spots look indeed like spider mite trails, early in....

Caution with the pyrethrin.

Spray the plant with a mix of aerated water, in a spray bottle, 1-2 tablespoons of neem oil in there too. Shake well before spraying. Do this every day until the leaves are shiney. Then, a little every week or so to keep the shine. It will take two weeks for the full cycle of eggs to mature and the babies to die before you will be rid of them....

Also, I would repot to the next size up pot. Stop the ferts, use just the OF. Let it get about twice as tall if you can before flower...being outside you may not get a choice in the matter. No more nitrogen bearing stuff, you are almost toxic.

Well I did some research and I'm pretty sure you're right about the toxicity. Which makes me very happy to have posted because i originally thought it was some sort of deficiency, and had just watered with double strength nutes when no one answered my post. I transplanted, flushed, and am gonna stick to water for now.

I wanted to ask if you guys think its better to pot up to much larger pots and less often or smaller ones more often? I've been going with pots with just a few extra inches and repotting every few weeks to avoid root rot.

As far as bugs are concerned i'll keep spraying pyrethrin (couldnt find neem oil at local nursery) O and someone told me they could be thrips, what do you think of that/ does it make a difference?

btw im not so worried about the early flowering as this strain take 3-4 month to finish flowering

Might be thrips. I still advise to use no pyrethrin if possible. Shell no pest strips work too, at night with the fans off lets the levels build, and will work.

You should be able to at least order Neem online. I would do it....a 1/2 pint lasts me over 2 years.
