please help :(
ok so i had a bad case of spider mights, and they seeed to destroy a fair bit of my plant, i sprayed some shit i got from a nursery on it and put in some no pest strips and they seem to be gone or dieing, but i think there may be somthing else affecting the plant, it might just be the spider mights but im not sure, so some advice would be great.

Not sure what you sprayed but that blotch look on the leaf where its green and yellow like camouflage. That is damage from the spider mites.
To kill them off you need to stop the cycle. It take you treating the whole room every 3 day's for 2 weeks to break the cycle of life in them. You need to stop them from reproducing and that takes time to break the cycle. Use a 10x loupe or 30x pocket microscope to check the underside of leafs. They do most of their damage from the underside of the leaf. That is that blotch look you see. That much damage will stress the plant as well so check your Ph closely and try to raise the humidity a bit to give them some extra care. But you need to get rid of all the spider mites first. You may need to bug bomb the whole room every 3 days for 2 weeks to rid the whole room of them if you has an extreme case.
May I use a copy of your picture #2 for a book project?

yeah u can use the pic, no worries.
if i use a bug bomb with the plant in the room will it affect the plant?
i had considered it but thought it would hurt it too much.

Thanks.
You need a Pyrethrum Fogger and that will do the trick.

awsome thanx for ur help :)
im guna go check out a few hydro stores see if they have somthing the same or simlilar.
is there anything i can do to aid the plants recovery?
i hate seeing it so sick :(
and is the damage at the bottom of the plant caused by the spider mights too? or would this be from lack of light? - the plant is 2 metres tall now, so the light is quite a bit away from the bottom of the plant.

A fogger would kick them in the ass but they are expensive (sorry).
There is a product called wet betty that will allow you to foil feed them with out the fear of having the water droplets to large to act like magnifying glass and the foil fees with adhere better to the leafs.

please help :(
definitely something wrong. I see the definite mite damage, were the plants covered in webs? The drooping in the first pic points to another problem of some kind. I am having trouble identifying it though.
What kind of light?
How far is it from the plants?
What type of grow system? (any details are helpful)
I am guessing there is a light issue but, give me some specifics and i am sure It will be identifiable.

please help :(
its a 600watt hps with a drip system i think lol (has a dripper and 2 sprinklers pointed at the pot underneath) the light is about 20cm away frm the plant and i have afan running when the lights on.
the light got too close and the leaves went that yellow color so i moved it higher and they seemed be ok except for the health :(
