Hey guys, thanks for taking a minute to read my post. Situation is this; been dealing with spider mites in my crop. They first showed up half way through veg, at that time I used Doktor Doom to almost no avail. A grow buddy hooked me up with some avid, which I carefully used to almost perfect results.
Cut to a month later, mites reemerged. I've tried to be creative by using wind, cool temps, gentle vacuuming and co2 asphyxiation to stunt the little bastards. This has been working with variable success.
Other important info; this is my second grow. GG#4, it's about six weeks into flower. I cut nutes about a week ago to ensure proper flushing not realizing I'm at week 5 not 6. (Pulled a newb move and recorded date of light change not pistil appearance)
Now I'm dealing with a probable nutrient deficiency and moderate mite damage, but the buds are continuing to swell. Some fan leaves have been pulled because they're on their way out, there's odd red coloring. I'm sure SOMEONE whose had a grow go sideways must have seen this.
I need to decide if I can continue without feeding or feed a bit to reduce the deficiency and then finish them. No reasonable advice will be rejected.
