Ill make sure that on the next watering i use just plain ph'd water and hopefully that will help. on my last crop i fed them on every watering after the 3rd or 4th week, once the nutrients were gone from the soil. however i will start toning it back and maybe feed every other watering
the light i use is an 8 bulb t5 fixture 432watts. Its on a 20 - 4 cycle the lights are fairly close, within a couple inches of the tops.
They were put outside as my place was having a preventative spray for bedbugs, so they were placed outside for roughly 7 hours.
I cut a couple of the worst leaves and looked under my digital microscope and saw nothing that looked like mites, so im really hoping your right about the plants not being used to being outside for such an extended period of time. i saw some black specs, however i watched them for a couple minutes and none of them seemed to move, so im hoping its just debris from being outside.
with all that said, they are looking worse today and id really appreciate some advice on the next steps i need to take. will they just bounce back on their own?
Day three since being outside
60 day auto lemon
auto afghan
again, I really appreciate the help guys. Thanks a bunch

Hey dude,
I just went back to yesterdays post and you say you gave them a slighlty heavier feeding than normal, from the pictures of yesterdays compared to todays I'd say a few leaves are now showing signs of too much Nitrogen. What did you feed it and did you ph it before hand?? You'll see on the very tips of some leaves on the Afghan are curled quite dramatically (think of a birds talon or a claw, though some will be pointing up instead of down). Easy enough to fix, just flush her with 3x the amount of water to the volume of your pot (a 1 litre pot would need 3 litre of water to flush, 2 minimum but 3's spot on), thats the real method anyways, I just flush fresh water through my plants until the run off has been pouring out for at least a couple of minutes. Do this now and you should notice a difference in her within the next 24hrs. I wouldn't want to suggest under/over-watering on the Lemon till they're clean, flushed and we can see them in their rawest form.
Not saying this is the cause to any of your previous problems, just that I can see a noticable difference from yesterday to todays pictures so before it gets any worse I'd get that flushed out and then try to start working out the other bits and bobs.

Flush both btw, it won't hurt them.
:smokebuds:
:smokebuds:
Try AZMAX or FORBID.The first one is organic while second one is a harsher chemical.Yes they can really hurt your girls(the mites that is).They suck the juice out of the leaves making the infected leaves basically useless.I,ve gotten them the same way,setting plants out to get some sun,back under lights at darkfall.A 50/50 mix of rubbing alchohol/water I've heard works also.

I'm starting to think that its not mites as i cant see any sign of them. the dead part on the leaves are too large compared to all the pictures ive seen of mites. plus ive removed about 5 of the worst leaves and checked all around them with my microscope and have found nothing that i believe to be mites (however im going to keep a close eye on them)
I'm going to flush them and hope that there is too much nitrogen. on their last feeding i game them general organics bloom, molasses, cal-mag and then the water was ph'd to 6.5 (did i do something wrong) maybe the feeding was too much for them at this stage in the game (about 5 weeks). in order to flush them should i get a couple more 5 gal buckets so i can leave a large amount of water out overnight to let the chlorine evaporate? i assume its not too good to flush them with just plain tap water, is it? i dont need to ph the water im flushing it with, do i?

I flushed them all about 30 hours ago and they are all looking happier! Thanks everyone for all your help in saving my crop
