your in trouble
your PH is way out of whack, causing total lockout & your have a total infestation of mites
you need PH test equipment, chemical PH test or digital PH meter also PHup & Down Correcting Solutions....for emergency you can use vinegar to go down and baking soda to correct up....
To rule out PH related issues complete a soil runoff PH test.......
with PH corrected water (6.5-6.8PH ) pour enough water in the pots so the water runs out the bottom of the pot ...test the PH of this water....
If the PH reading is out of optimum range 6.5-6.8 PH, you need to flush your plant.
Flush with PH corrected water, till in optimum PH range, 3 times the volume of the pots rule of thumb but may require much more flushing if the rootball is thick & sour
EG: 1 gal pot = 3 gal. flush
add 1/2 strength nutes to the last gallon of the flush.
***** Neem Oil *****
for the mites
3 table spoons of Neem oil and 2 drops of dish soap to a qt of water, spray plants, the undersides of the leaves in particular, till they are dripping, spray every 3 days for 2 weeks (eggs hatch every 3 days)
