Please help. Plant burn!

I began to have signs of spider mites. So I made a solution of 1 tbsn baking soda, 1 tspn soap, and 4 cups water. Sprayed my plants twice in one day and this is what I get. Maybe the solution was too strong.

I'm going to prune some affected leaves. But the pistils have turned this dark colour in just one day. The first pic is just yesterday. The rest are this morning. One is on week 7 of flower (sativa dom) where trichomes are just starting to turn milky. The other 3 are on week 2 or 3.

IS THIS SALVAGEABLE??? Are they going to die? I'm worried.

I think the soap you used may be the culprit. Spray them off with water a few times and maybe set up a fan to dry off excess water. I don’t think they’ll die, but that will affect they’re growth and your yield. Get the soap off ASAP if you haven’t already.

I sprayed them with water this morning to clean them off.

At this point I’d just defoliate the damaged leaves and Keep it rolling

Update. Had to kill 2/3 of my plants. The one nearing the end of flowering might survive, three others wouldn't make it another month. Be careful to those thinking of spraying.

I have hope for this girl, her nugs are nice and thick with a great smell.

it revegged too... things done for

Have ever watered?

Yea I water every couple days or as needed

See how it’s shooting out single fingered leaves out the bud ... thats reveg, it probably started budding a few weeks ago and then went back to veg for a short period now it’s budding again. Was it indoors or under lights before ?

It's hard to believe because I didn't do anything different. She's been outside since June. Flowering away for 8 weeks now.

This pic I found online has single leaves shooting out. 8th week flower...

for some reason you're in a note lockout situation Flush your girls

Thank you

Listen close... I had ONE plant that somehow got infested in my tent with over a dozen others in it. I'm still fighting them, but she is going to finish just fine, and not a single sign of anything on any of the others. I mean it .... Listen close to what I'm about to tell you.

Molasses. You are technically supposed to alternate between a molasses & water spray(kills the mites INSTANTLY), and then the next day a Hydrogen Peroxide solution(kills the eggs and rinses the dead bug bodies off). The hydrogen needs to be the powerful stuff that you have to order offline. It also can destroy trichs if overused/too powerful. I opted against it, and I am alternating everyday with a molasses spray, and then a water spray(i add fulvic acid but that's not anything to do with the mites).

What this does is kills the bugs before they have time to mate and spin webs. I still have eggs here and there because if I let up for 4 days they show back up. But as long as I pull the plant out of the room each day, and do these sprays, the bugs literally disappear. There are people who actually use water only everyday. The reasoning is that the bugs cannot live off of the plant. So when you spray them off and they drip to the ground, they are done for. The eggs keep hatching, but if you spray frequently enough, they can't propagate. I also use this same reasoning in my gnat control. Big oscillating fan on super high. They can't mate under the windy conditions. So usually within 2/3 weeks, whatever eggs were in there, have hatched and the bugs either died or went and found a less windy garden. Makes for some very strong plants too.

One cap full of Organic BlackStrap in a liter spray bottle is what i use. Anything more and it gets sticky and other bugs get curious and show up to the party.

@Wattzzup listen close. Molasses killed spider mites now.

After reading through the post, I found the bro science to be ridiculous. Here is my opinion as indicated by your plant condition and own admissions. You made your treatment at four times the recommended and normal strength. That's 1Tsp per gallon of each. Soap you can get away with upto double. Baking soda is a desiccant. Almost pure salt. You dehydrated your plant. No nute issues or other worst case scenarios.

Make sure you have washed it off the plant completely. It has enough foliage to recover. Stunted and below what you had going. But harvest-able. Let the dying leaves until they are almost shriveled then remove them. This allows the plant to recover as many nutes and carbs as possible.

Best of luck. And careful with you hear. Question everything. You'll learn faster.

Are you arguing that molasses and sugar in general DON'T? Its ok... You can answer from either of your profiles....
