Here is the story.
Started some seeds from some bag seed in normal tap water. I have never checked the pH.

Grow started in Miracle Gro potting soil grew GREAT FOR 3 weeks started to out grow containers, so I just in the 4th week transplanted into my new hydro system. Water cultivating. The transplant was very messy for the plants and lost some roots. I have just started to get some brown spots. Im thinking from the new hydro/pH. But I looked under the leaves and I see some very tiny spots that could just be soil from the transplant. But the thing is I have a few leaves with holes and rips.

Some of the brown spots formed while still in soil but now that it is in hydro it has gotten worse. The leaves have some strange rips in them. Motley around the tips, edges and backs. Not in the middle.

Chemicals used:
General Hydroponics
-FloraGro 2-1-6
-FloraMicro 5-0-1
-FloraBloom 0-5-4

Mix:
General Purpose -Mild. tsp/gallon 1
(I assumed that means 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water)

I am using 9 gallons with a lot of bubbles in the nute.

The lighting is 6 100w CFLs (daylight)

The temp is around 75-83 F

Thanks for anything you can give me... :bigjoint:

does not really look like spider mites. spider mite marks are tiny, like needle tip sized and lots of them. and usually accompanied by the mites are tiny while eggs on the bottom sides. i have had plenty of mites, and am still battling them. i swear they are coming from my backyard. gonna have to buy like 18 jugs of lady bugs to release and see if thousands of lady bugs can even do anything haha.

but not familiar with hydro at all, but im sure someone will chime in :)

If you have spider mites then you have alot of them and you can tell them by the webs the make at the stems of all your leaves and such. Mites you will have sooo many little green things that there is no question about it. One little black spot isn't a mite to me. It seems to me that you just have a couple of issues. Nothing that really signals bugs Yet.
