first of all that is a fucking beuatyfull indica plant!!! i think your having a bug problem no? get yourself some pipe tobacco since it has less added shit in it, then let it sit in a jar with water in the sun for a few days with some garlic, a lil dish soap, and some ghost chilli peppers, then put it in a spray bottle and apply has needed. totally organic. and no bug will stand this shit.

So, I am new to growing and to RIU. I have been around for about 2 months but never posted, just read. I have started growing now and after reading endless beginer material and threads on here I am still left with a few questions I could REALLY use someone one on one to answer. Im just looking for an experienced indoor grower who could help out. Plz just lmk! Msg me or post on here

Questions are things about
I have a clean grow closet in a VERY dirty, buggy unfinished basement. I just found my first spider mite and am wondering what would be my best solution. IE use the neem oil to just prevent them in a water solution etc for their entire life? Get a pesticide for a faster kill? I dont know what to choose because I dont think I could ever get them all out of the basement, and I dont know if killing them in the closet would keep them away forever.

Killing them in the closet alone will not keep them out.
Best bet is to set off a fogger like Black flag or two in the basement to kill all of them and then do it again in two weeks to kill anything that hatched.

​

Neem oil - Do you know a good local place to purchase this?

I dont know where you live, try a local nusery.
​

I currently have the following nutes and am unaware if they are good or if and when I should use them:
Blooming Blossom 10-60-10
A miracle grow plant food 8-7-4
Sholtz plant food 10-15-10

Depends on what you got in your soil, If nothing then I would use the sholtz once at half strength to get the nitrogen in there, then water a few times, then Blooming blossom at half strength again then watering untill I saw leaf turning yellow. Not just lower leaf, the whole plant.
​

Im working on a 12 12 grow from seedlings and was wondering if I should give them any nutes?

As described above.
​

I recently had 2 seedlings that were fine, about 2 inches tall and 2 sets of leaves, then randomly the next day they were laying on the dirt and had grown overnight an extra like 3 inches and the stem they grew was litteraly like as thin as a thread. the top of the seedlings were still green but the top half of the stem was only like a string so it wasnt even possible to stand them up... ever hear of some shizz like this? haha

This is called damping off. The seedling did not get enough light so it was not able to transfer its stored nutrients into sugars the plant can use.
There are other reasons this happens, most common is not enough light or water.
​

My closet is in a basement that no one ever goes in. Its next to the washer and dryer (I find the dryer completely kills the smell since its run every day or two, is this okay for my plants?) Also I am curious as to if you think I would need a CO2 source? Since no one is down there idk if there is enough of it for when my plants get big, but up to this point I have seen no problems with the CO2.

As the plants get larger they require more CO2 then when they are small.
Co2 is heaver then air and there is about 300 ppm in fresh air. In order to get a decent yield you should have air intake and exhaust.

Running the dryer every day may hide the smell but the real benefit is it will warm the basement a bit and add humidity. This is good while they are young but when they get larger they will produce humidity themselves and you will need to control it or its quite possible your buds will mold.
​

lastly these are some bag seeds that I planted and am curious as to an educated guess of strain and breed. they are 2 weeks old, have 6 leaf sets, and are about 7 inches tall (pretty fast growers!) Or if you see any problems lemme know!

any help is appreciated!! If you know alot in any of those subjects plz give me a msg! Im just tryin to learn >.< haha

to kill bugs you could put your plant in a sealed container and increase the co2 level to 10,000 ppm and it will kill all bugs, nicotine will kill benifical bacitera in the soil, you ONLY NEED co2 if you fill your whole basement with plants. I wouldn't give it nutes yet it still to young. the dryer isn't bad unless it increases the temp a lot. i have never used those nutes so i can't say anything. as for strain there are to many to guess from, only you can guess when you smoke it........hope this helps some
