Update on my HSH, SB, CC. Just noticed today that my seedlings are starting to form white spots on the leaves (Fuck my life). I have deduced that my older plants I have, have the same white spots but far more intense. I have deduced that the white spots are from mites. I can see small moving black dots on the underside of the leaves and small webbing under the leaves of some plants. I am going to douse them with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap for the next few days to stop the reproduction of the mites and hopefully kill mite/eggs in the soil.
One of my my buddys said that back in the day in Colorado, he figured out that FoxFarm has all kinds of eggs in the soil for different pests therefor should be baked (sterilized) before use. All of my plants are in FoxFarm right now. Mites have definitely been a problem for my grows in the past. And very difficult if not impossible to get rid of mites. So now I'm wondering if there is any validity to these claims. Does anyone have any insight into this?
I plan on switching growing mediums next transplantation and from there on just to be sure.
