Hello bros, i am Rahul from India, its spring season here, its the best time to grow marijuana plant.. Is'nt it?
I have 10 sativa seedlings which are 20days old with 3set of leaves and around 3-4 inches in height , which were growing in my garden happily and healthly till last night.
From past one week i was noticing 2-3 white lil bugs on them so i planned to make a homemade organic pestiside spray which made my plant leaves burned a bit, they are having some brown burn spots on leaves.
My recipe -
i soke two teaspoon tobacco, handfull of neem leaves, and one cup liquid dish wash with 2litre of clean water and kept for 1day.
Yesterday at evening around 5pm i sprayed the mixture on my plant.. Used 500ml to spray on my 10 healthy seedlings. Now, today at morning what i see mostly all seedlings leaves were bending downwards a lil bit.. then i closely examined.. I found some burned spots on leaves and a little on its tip..
I guess i have overdose the amount of liquid dish wash (i ws high at the time of mixing.. LOL)

Bros, pls guide me how can i fix my burned leaves and make my seedlings again healthy?
Any help will be greatly appretiated :-)

Start spraying them with water, that's about your only option, right now. Give 'em, a bath, basically.lol

Yeah, I would imagine you have "glued" shut the stomata on the leaves. Gently rinse leaves, top and underside with clean water.

...tis ok, really.:grin:
Fortunately, they are seedlings and because they are in the process of rapid growth, those "burnt" leaves will soon be replaced with healthy leaves.

As stated already, rinse them off with a spray bottle periodically until new growth appears. Once you see a few new leaves, feel free to rid the plant of older leaves.

As a rule, I never use any kind of spray to kill insects while they are only seedlings.
Grab a bottle of 50% rubbing alcohol. Apply ever so gently with q-tip along surface of plant.

I promise......it will neither kill nor hurt your plant---only immediately kill the insect.
