Did you rinse off the soapy water after you sprayed the plant for mites?
Looks sort of what I did to a plant last year. Same scenario, I sprayed for spider mites with soap and water and did not rinse it off afterwards; burnt the shit out of them.
I don't know if this is what happened, because yours actually looks worse.

You also might want to do a PH runoff water test to see what you are dealing with.
I think you might find it a little acidic.

More information concerning your grow will help.
What soil, nutrients, lighting and stuff like that.
Good luck.

you fucked those babies up with all that soap!!..what some people don't know is that soap can be good...but YOU HAVE TO RINSE IT OFF too!

Try flushing but I just went through that but without the spider mite problem that's just how my plant looked every other plant was fine I just had one caramelo and tried everything I ended up scraping it.

i have the same problem on some of my plants but i dont know the cause..there getting claws..not all of my plants have done this wich is confusing me

brodietheconeking · Apr 8, 2013

ive concluded this to a feed/ph problem this identicle to my problem i didnt have mites or use soap..im having ph problems i cnt afford pen and can only get the indicator bright orange the soap shouldnt make new leaves do this im guessing?

Wizard671 · Apr 8, 2013

wow what happend you did more harm then the spider mites don't use anything take it away from that spot and clean your area

Astral Zoom · Apr 8, 2013

when using soap for pest, imo its best to use a dilute mix and just spray the top few inches and let it sit, dont water the soil for a few days. and when you do you may wanna do a watering so you get a goot bit of a runoff. as for the foliage pests do like these guys are sayin and wash that stuff off.

Also the other pest killers you used probably helped multiple the damage. Id spray it lightly with distilled water a few times a day and flush your soil well.

gl dude, im sure it will survive..

Po boy · Apr 8, 2013

i thing the majority of the damage was due to the strong soap solution. u didn't use detergent instead of soap? when using soap and water mix lightly, you can always increase the solution if necessary. GL

Should I pull clones from plants or wait till there feeling better?
I know I should wait but need to. Has any one had successes with clones from sad plants?

OGkushNC · Apr 9, 2013

U can pull clones and try. I had a similar prob but I used a Lil neem oil and water mix and sprayed my last plant 2 times and I never had another prob since with the mites Ime actually on my 5 grow and I only had this prob 1 time with mites haha. Just be sure to rinse the plant good with reg water when your done.

olimmilo · Apr 14, 2013
