WHAT HAPPEND? Had to chop my main kola.. Please help to spare the rest....

[SittinStoney420]

Alright this is whats goin on. I have had my girl under a 400w hps for about 3 weeks now. She has been looking alright other than the spider mite infestation that ive had to deal with. I have been spraying her with Safer Insect Killing Soap, and feeding her Liquinox bloom. I have to spray her around every three days because the mites come back. It stays around 80-85 in the room and has a fan blowing on it during light hours. First of all, the leaves have curled up and are looking real bad, and second the main kola looks like it is rotting. The leaves are a brownish color and are limp and squishy. The rotting thing just started and i chopped the top of the kola (see pics) to save the rest of the plant which isnt doing this. Can anyone please give me their input ASAP so i can save the rest.

Thanks

Sorry to here this,but that incectisidal soap you have has thius salt in it that is really bad for the thin leaves of MJ.
Thats why your leaves are curling and burned looking because of the salt .I suggest Neem oil.
Also always test spray a lower branch when you get a new product.
If you want to get rid of those mites.You need to lower the temp in the room.They thrive in hot ,dry places,so make it cold and wet by temp being at 65 and spraying with neem oil every other day for about 3 weeks.Buy 2-3 bug bombs...And start with those...bomb the room wait 2 days and do it again...then consentrate on neeming them to death in a cold room,.

Zandor says Hot pepper spray works well too,but I think that might be more preventative.

Thanks for your reply J DOG, Isnt 65 too cold for the bud? Also, would i spray the oil ontop of the leaves, or would i flip the plant upside down, and spray the undersides also. Does the neem oil have a scent? Would it effect the smell or taste of the bud? Thanks again for your help

65 is not too cold to bud, in UK temps outside get in the low 50s high 40's and my outdoor plants pulled through at below this and I got a good harvest though this isnt good and stunts growth but 65 is alright and I mean its better than mites which will ruin your whole crop

Thanks for the advise, anyone know if the neem oil will effect the crop?

How much bloom ferts are you giving them?

Looks like fert burn on the leaf pic to me.......

My friend on his 1st grow, was ferting too much, and the leaves were drying and curling up still green........

He cut back, and the plants recovered.......

But it could be salt build up, or improper Ph as well........

As for the buds, how much humidity is in your grow area?

Too much humidity will promote bud rot on buds........

If the humidity is high........

You have fans on them?

A sulfur vaporizor will help stifle bud rot too........

Hard to tell from your pics........

Just opinions.......

I have a friend that is awesome with indoor problems, I will try to show him your pics, and see what he says........

I am NOT a grower, just know some great ones!
