Hello all,
Long time reader of posts, first time poster. Thanks in advance!
Northern Lights Auto, its generally a healthy and happy plant but last week I noticed small white dots appearing on some of the lower leaves (2 original pictures below). Newer growth at that time did have a few minor spots, but it was mainly a few of the old school 3-fans who were hit hard. I did some digging online and the closest thing that I could find (here and on other sites) to what I saw were spider mites, but I wasn’t sure. I went to a local grow shop a few days ago and showed pictures and they prescribed an organic Neem oil pesticide (‘Insect-Ex’ by biogarten.ch).
I sprayed as directed after sunset and things looked about the same the next morning. But when I checked the plant that next evening the previously affected leaves looked to have been burned badly (?) (picture below). They seem to have gotten worse since then, picture is from this morning.
It’s funny because the rest of the plant just keeps on keeping on, new growth looks fine but these leaves look to be sick and sad.
Any ideas?
Should I...
Some other info:
- Outdoors, on a windowsill
- At the moment 2 or 2.5 liters every 2-3 days
- Soil, fabric pot, light mix, with organic slow release fertilizer (I went with a minimal dose 25% of what was recommended given its an auto)
- Day 28
- Leo
Many thanks!

Should I...
- Let it go, don’t do anything
- Cut the affected leaves off and then don’t do anything else
- Continue the treatments (spray again 5-7 days after first spray) but leave the sick leaves on the plant
- Cut the affected leaves and continue the treatments
