Problem after war against Spider Mites

Hi everyone, I'm a bit new here, and new to the whole growing thing. I had a healthy plant :leaf: and 2 bonsai indicas :razz: under

120 watt 2700K CFL & 60 watt 6400K CFL s

in Soil (turf+perlite)

feeding since flowering with CannaBoost with every other watering.

until 2 weeks ago (30 days into flowering) I had a big spider mite infestation (with the Easy Sativa plant, the bigger one in the pictures). 7 days ago I bought NeemAzal since it was the only thing commercially available to me. I used it with a spray with the suggested dilution formula. But I had a business trip for 5 days so I left the plant unattended.

I came back to see that the spider mites are long gone, but the plant is extremely droopy. I checked the PH and it's 6.3 (drain water), and the temperatures are 27 degrees celcius with a humidity of 78%. It shouldn't be overwatering since they weren't watered for 5 days !!! But could it be the residue from the spray? Or just the spidermites doing? I need some help...

It bothers me a lot so I thought I would ask you guys what to do to fix this problem. Thanks for all the help in advance. Here are some pictures:



Any suggestions will be much appreciated

Looks like you plants just needed a good watering.... They should liven up within a couple of hours after watering

Thanks to all.

Those pictures were taken after being already just watered. I too thought that they were drooping because of underwatering. But it has been several hours and dark period has started already but no sign of getting better.

@raw225: Thanks man. I already have a meter that reads a bit above normal levels lately since we have a bit of humidity here nowadays. It reads 72% at the moment.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

72% is a little high, if you have a dehumidifier i would use it. Try and get your humidity down to around 45%. But my guess would be that they just needed to be watered, don't worry it could take several hours for them to perk back up. Plus if those are 30 days into flower they should be a little bigger than that, what are you feeding them?

Hi guys,
It has been a day since I posted the pictures and the leaves are still droopy and no sign of getting better.
I am really upset. I think I'm losing her.
What do you all think?
 
You need some things... first, light reflectors to direct all the poor cfl lighting to the plants. Second, The pot looks too small which is why the flowers are skimp (root bound). Third, it looks like a mexican sativa bag strain which needs a lot of room to grow (preferably outdoors) and a lot of time. Fourth, It probably forced to flower before it was ready. Possibly over pruned also (IMO) Do you have any air circulation in that shower? The low Ryders look fine though. If I were you I would try to find short indica strains that flower quickly and stick with it.. Throw that thing out or put it in the hash pile you wont get anything worth smoking. And wuts with the name FEDpap sounds sketchey anything with the fed word is no good imo!! Anyhow good luck!
