I had spider mites this summer for the 1st time, not many, mostly white flies...got rid of them as i had none on my last grow at all, then on this grow, they are on one plant and the damage looks nothing like your plant. If you saw the one with two dots, those are the bad ones...two-spotted spider mites...do a google search. I used a mixture of habanero peppers, a minced onion, garlic and dill, simmered lightly until the steam was unbearable. Sprayed the plants down twice over a 5 day period, then again 3-4 days later..i was 2 weeks in from 12/12. I sprayed them again a 4th time a week after the last time, but only with the peppers, none of the other stuff. I also use silica throughout the grow now to deter them a little more. Once this grow is done, i may swap all my soil out after 2 years of use. I used some organic insecticidal soap, but i found the pepper solution to be better overall.

Ugh!!! Sorry to hear that, man. I know how frustrating it is. But hang there. It'll get better every time. Shit ain't gotta be perfect. Just do what you can do and don't give up. Hell, there's no telling how much weed we've all smoked that's full of critters.
Thanks @Koheleth. I forgot to give you some props on the watering idea too - sorry about that!! I've definitely learned my lesson about underwatering now too. Last grow was overwatered lol. And now these damn mites, gotta work on keeping my tent free of critters. I think they came from a damn house plant that also has the mites from outside I think. Threw that bitch right in the garbage
Yield varied...the 4 assed monkey (auto), one of them, got me only 10 grams, and she was stunted from the get go pretty much. The alien vs triangle wasn't affected and grew normally..these were side by side. The following grow had none, and all plants were ok..now this grow, i had them started in a closet in another room, and they seem to have had it there..2 of them, but one worst than the other. Now they're in flower..5 of them all side by side from birth, and only one was more affected on the lower half...sprayed it down again, all of them, and seems ok for now.
This was the first year i had some plants on my balcony, and some herbs indoors near the plants...and suddenly i got em inside. A few months ago, my dill plant was covered next to them..i guess that's what they mean by it being a deterrent, it attracts them away from other plants lol.

No biggie, dude. I'm just glad to have confirmation I'm learning, you know. I'm so jacked about this site and how much we can learn here from each other through each other's grows. Otherwise, it'd be slow going indeed. Hope you had the foresight to germinate some seeds. Best of luck, brother.
