looks like your medium is heavy and full of wood chips. wood is bad, it alters ph as it decays, and pot needs good drainage, add a good bit of perlite or coarse sand to your mix, at least 25% by volume.
it looks like you might have potassium problems, but thats usually caused by bad drainage.
i'm going to say if you repot that plant into better mix with better drainage, and make sure you let it dry out good between waterings, most if not all of that will clear up
 
Soil is all organic. Did not know about the woodchips. I will try this. Was first one I've ever planted more of a test subject but I wish it would have stayed healthy. I will take your advice and try to turn things around. Thank you

i'm telling you, one spraying of pyrethin will not get rid of them, you need to spray at least 3 times, 3-4 days apart. they hatch at different times, so by the time you notice them, you have them in every state of development, and the oldest ones will be laying eggs that will hatch in 5-7 days
I've sprayed multiple times 3 days apart already. That's where all the burn damage is from. I'm not going to spray her anymore because i don't see any more signs of mites. shes 5 weeks flower now so hoping she'll finish no problems. she's in a big growth spurt right now. .
 
Thanks guys. I will use different soil from what I have. It was an expensive bag n thought it would would out a bit better. The plant is dead now so hopefully a rerun in better soil works out.
