Photoperiod Bud's Shed - First Test Grow

[Bud Wiser UK]

@Bud Wiser - - hahahaha who is M.I.A now fella?

Me.

Got the start of a spider mite attack, plus a nitrogen deficiency down to the timer fault (I think).
Rapid leaf yellowing from the ground up .. there should've still been enough nutes in the soil for another week or two, so that must be the only explanation.
Mite bites appearing on a handful of leaves on the one plant, looks like it's just started.

I've soaked the plants by misting and dropped the temps in there tonight to around 16 C ... that should slow 'em down until I can get a better look.
Bonemeal for the nitro deficiency, next feed.
I'm not using neem oil, so anyone got any secret recipes? ...

Thank's for your response @goodgrace87 , much appreciated... I'm in full flower, about 4 / 5 weeks off, estimated.
Probably the worst time .. too late to start predator mites, to early to let it run .. hmmm.
You got a plan B?

If you can get them where you can spray them off with a garden hose. I stopped a mite attack in my greenhouse that way! After spraying them, spray the growroom with a 50/50 mix of Isopropyl alcohol and water. It will killl any mites on contact and almost instantly. Only non pesticide methods I know of that actually work... You can also use CO2. 10,000 ppms for about 48 hours..................

@pop22 ... you star.
I was just reading about that on a 'regular' horticulture site ... they mentioned alcohol but it didn't sink in. Not until you mentioned Iso, and I've got 3 litres of that sitting outside in the greenhouse (winter storage), so thanks for rewiring my brain for me!
I don't think I'll be using a garden hose inside my nice dry indoor shed with lots of electricity in it dude!!!

The CO2 ... it just keeps on coming back to me doesn't it? This is yet another problem I could easily solve with the stuff.
It's calling me ... this summer I'm on it ... just need to go an a MIG welding course now to justify the large bottle deliveries...!!

A useful bit of background info I just read on spider mites, not relating to cannabis, but a spider mite's a spider mite, right?
