  1. Hey all I'm new to the forum and have some questions..... Here are some pics of my space queen I've noticed a few red spider mites and a couple small lines of web and so I've started treatment with SM-90. I've treated twice now and since I've only seen one mite and I check them everyday, several times a day. I'm noticing that my leaves are cupping and are kinda thin and dry ish... This is an outdoor grow and weather has been pretty good averaging about 77 °f and humidity around 40%- 60% of course those are averages... can't control weather too well . I'm just wondering if there is anything else I can do to help bring back the

  3. Plant looks healthy to me.
    Btw red mites in my experience are predatory and kill other mites. I don't see any signs of spider mites (speckled leaves fine webbing).

    As for the leaves cupping -
    Temperatures and humidity are mild. Color is nice.
    I notice you're growing in a bucket - do you have drainage holes? If not, that could be a source of any problems you are noticing(I don't).

  4. Thank you very much for your reply, I do have drainage holes. I guess it's just that I'm totally new to outdoors and really new in general I've done 3 indoor grows and I guess I just got lucky I did my research but didn't have any issues at all but this year I can't do indoor so I figured d give it a try and really this one plant just looks weaker than my others for some reason. The leaves just appear thinner and wispier than my other 5 tho this is my only space queen so I guess it could just be that it's a different strain
