Hey man doesnt look to bad trust me it could be worse, but it looks like phosphorus deficiency to me.

Use vitamin b1(get it at lowes) with all water until roots are established and top growth resumes.also remove bottom 2 fan leaves and mist under remaining leaves with vitamin solution every 2-3 hours while lights are on(16/8 they'll mature faster).make sure to shake water drops off so as not to burn!!!within a few days you will see improvement.

hmm, yea thats what ive been thinking. Also, do you think the problem might resolve itself?? Because i just transplanted the clone maybe two days ago and the fox farm ocean forest planting soil seems like it should have everything nutrient wise, so maybe the plant just hasnt developed roots that are absorbing the nutrients from the soil maybe?? So if i just water and grow it as normal it should be fine? Of course time will tell but i guess im asking if the chances of the problem really being under developed roots are good

Here my situation such as follows,I have been infested with Spider Mites and have visited my local Hydro store for product solution's.I have had some success with a Pyrethrum bug bomb as well as Safer soap,have also double scrubbed my wall's and shampooed my carpet,But there still there on my plant's-grrrr.I also read a thread at a deferent site that states you can take 3 Cigarettes in water for 24 hours to make a tea,then take a few hot peppers and boil for 10 minutes,combine sig tea,boiled hot peppers water and soap in a spray bottle and treat.Nothing seem's to be 100% effective.Anyone have a suggestion? O and this has been going on for about 1-1/2 month and have pretty much run out of funds.Plant,s should be in in flower stage but have kept them in veg because of there situation,plants look really sick.Fuck!!! sorry no pic's.

Hmm, how much are you watering it? What's the PH at? It could be Magnesium (Mg) deficiency as your leaves are curling upwards. Magnesium deficiency will show as a yellowing which would also be turning brown and crispy.

Should have made a new post instead of posting in someone elses, when they're having a different problem than yours. To help with spider mites, cleanliness is a must, but as you stated, you cleaned up pretty well. Since you're having these problems, make sure you wash your hands and all your tools, etc. before use could also help.

Homemade sprays often lack the strength to kill infestations though, there's a little recipe you can use; Dr. bonners soap, garlic, hot pepper, citrus oil, and liquid seaweed, but I haven't tested.

Insecticidal soap does a fair job of controlling mites. Two or three applications at 5-10 day intervals should help. Homemade sprays often lack the strength to kill infestations though, but it should help to keep them at bay, just incase they come back.

Also, don't use toxic chemicals for obvious reasons.
