I'm a semi-experienced medical mj provider for several deserving patients, doing my best but still locking down certain aspects of my technique..... I'm into my third large grow, all has been going smoothly. However, I recently discovered some spider mites in my flower room (low population), destroyed the plant they were affecting most, and treated the rest with a foliar spray of neem, wetting agent (dawn) and H20 (not ph'd--oops?). The problem is that in my mini-freakout over the mites, I forgot to shut the lights down after I sprayed....resulting (duh) in some pretty severe burns. I think the burns are a combo of light burn from being sprayed with the lights on and possibly from the neem itself (I was heavy handed due to my FEAR of freakin spider mites). So now I basically have a garden of three week old buds with very few fan leaves, as much of the veg growth has become brittle, and fallen off. The plants still have thier buds and beginning cola leaves intact. I sprayed the following day with plain water to rinse away some of the neem so the stomata wouldn't clog, and shut the lights down to allow drying.... at that point it was too little too late, my girls are fried. I'm thinking they could recover, if I give them a few un-fucked with weeks.... any thoughts? I'm trying to decide if i should ditch em and throw my next batch into flower or stick it out and see if they still produce..... I'm hopeful I'll at least get popcorn buds. My pts need whatever they can get, and I'm not into throwing away money, time, or ,meds...
Anyone ever burnt thier girls? If so, can they recover three weeks into flower?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
