Hey this is my first grow and everything's gone pretty well so far until now. I switched the lights to 12/12 8 weeks ago and have noticed the rusty discoloration on the bud leaves and after getting a scope I'm pretty sure I've got spider mites. Thankfully it's only 1 plant of 4 and it's not too bad. No webbing really just that discoloration. So what should i or can I do this close to the finish line? My set up: 5 gal pots Fox Farm OF GH flora series CFL for most of veg then switched to a 3 tube t8 through flower then switched to 600w MH/HPS a week ago Got well water that's good Ph Temps were fine 75 til I switched to flower and put them in the garage and its been real cold 50s and a good week around freezing til I said screw it and put them back in the mud room closet. This was a scrog with 4way LST til I cut em out to bring them in. What are my options? Pesticide?? I'm not opposed to a fogger if it was safe and wouldn't kill me when I smoke this shit the first time! Thanks fellas
Temps at root zone may be the culprit. Some plants turn purple and some turn gold when they are fooled into thinking winter has set in. There is a deficiency guide here that has a picture of what u are experiencing. As far a pesticides go Capt Jacks has been my go to.
