So I had some auto flower feminised blue mystic beans and decided to germ and transplant into my DWC system. Now not my first go with DWC and have had great experience in the past up until now.

My plant has been doing great up until the end of last week where I noticed some yellowing on the top leaves of my baby girl and now pretty much the entire plant has yellowed and just looks funky. She is still growing and new growth is daily. What could be causing the yellowing?? PH is at 5.9-6.1 I check daily to make sure it's good, using advance nutes which imo are amazing. What is causing this any ideas???

Ill post pics when I'm back at my PC?

what do the roots look like? white and healthy?

this is my first run with autos and they are supposed to be very light feeders too. i'm only running 0.3 EC nutes with 0.2 well water. EC total is 0.56. what ppm/EC you at?

Mine is about the same as yours, roots look great nice and white and healthy. I can't figure this out it is my first time with auto flowers. Have normally used standard female beans from nirvana with no issue.

Top is yellowing but I think I have found out why......SPIDER MITES!!!!! Took my loop and looked closely at the leaves and stem and found a tiny little web at the base of the main stalk and then saw what look like little black dots moving on a few of the leaves which I immediately squished...any advice on how to get rid of these??? I've done some research but found nothing really definitive on how to get rid of them without damaging the plant in some way. HELP!!!!!

neem oil. mix with a bit of dish soap.

i got those fuckers the last time i bought a clone from a dispensary

i was 2 weeks from harvest so didn't want to spray anything on the buds. just crackled a bit when i smoked them

then bug bomb the room (with the plant out of it) with a raid fogger or dr doom fogger.

it will take a few times to kill them all. the eggs will hatch and you'll have a second round to get rid of

good luck!

You can find concentrated neem oil at most hardware stores/garden centers/home improvement stores etc. as well if your looking to pick something up today off the shelf.
I believe its:
1oz per gal for preventative maintenance
2oz per gal for infestation.
Mix 1-2 drops of liquid dish soap (dawn/palmolive) in per gallon of luke warm water. This will help keep the oil broken down enough to "mix" in the water so to speak. Shake the spray bottle every 20 seconds or so to keep it mixed up. Spray the plants from top to bottom, undersides and tops of all leaves and be sure to get the main stem as well. You want the plant completely wet and dripping. Best of luck.

Thanks everyone, I will let you all know how it goes. My plant is 2' tall and I was getting ready to change the light schedule but gonna wait to get these mites under control first.

good idea. like i mentioned, there are eggs there now that will hatch soon. so it will take i'd say almost a week to get rid of them totally
