i was looking at my plants through a magnafying glass for at least an hour last night. I was unable to spot the spidermites but i really think that they are around , maybe i need a bigger magnafying glass who knows.

the point is im afraid, very afraid. I dont want to take any chances with somthing as deadly as spidermites so i went ahead and got the ladybugs.



*I will put up some pictures in the next few hours & you can be the judge*

Take a chill pill lol. We didn't mean 2 scare you. That really doesn't look like spidermites or thrips.. its too uniform. I'd say a neutrient problem but I don't know what. Stinkyattic would sus that straight away.....

okay here we go,


Soil= Promix / & potting Mix
adding to soil = little bit of perlite, vermiculite, just a sprinkle of dolomite lime
soil Ph = 6.8 at the moment
water ph= im not 100% on my water Ph, but its filtered from fridge
lighting =seven 42watt cfl as close as i get 2 plants without burning them**
ventilation= twin fan, 2 modes 1 is set to blow in and the other mode sets the other side to blow out, also small fan near the top directing air out
Temp = lights off around 23degreez celsius & with them on around 25-26cels
Humidity= humdity i am unsure of , but the area is fairly small so you can imagine what it would be like,
Ferts = power flower 2-5-4
age = they are all 5 months approx

Wht do you mean filtered from fridge? That sounds dodgy. Why not use normal tap water?

[mistaswift]

my water from the fridge is the same water that comes out of the tap and really isnt what is contributing to the problem. The only difference is the water being slightly cleaner.

i am noticing more of the white spots now towards the upper leaves though which cant be good.

The other pictures may have been misleading the camera doesnt really show the little white spots everywhere , but im really hoping it isnt spidermites. The ladybugs can figure it out until i can figure whats causing this problem

What is the temperature of the water out of your fridge, it should be about
23C if it is cold or too hot it will shock the roots.
