I originally thought it was maybe some deficiency that I had sorted, until I read further... then I checked under one of the leaves and saw the horror.... spider mites!! How the hell they got in I haven’t a clue (they are in a tent - 2nd floor, and it’s winter....)... but it’s clear they are... dilemma is that it’s sunday and New Years tomorrow... bank holiday Monday, so I cannot get any predatory mites until Thursday next week or cannacure until Tuesday... I’ve sprayed the underside of the leaves with plain water to wash them off as best I could, is there any other cures or am I screwed??
