Hey guys, my amnesia haze auto flower recently started flowering, i left town for a few days and when i returned i found the plant covered in spider mites. I used alcohol on q tips to brush the infested areas and leaves, and i applied growers ally crop defender 3. Its been a couple weeks since i did that and i havent noticed anymore mites but the plant really seems to be struggling. Its like the flowering process stopped completely and more and more leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
If it were mine at this stage, I would spray them to complete drench, underneath leaves too, with Jacks Deadbug every three days for two full weeks, that will kill the mites. You WILL need to do a bud wash at harvest to clean the buds, which you would need to do after having mites anyway. Spider mites used to scare me, but I’ve started PM that keeps them away, certain essential oils repel them, rosemary is good to spray around the grow room to prevent them from getting started, I grow it in with my plants, plus I hang a Hot Shot No Prst strip( 4 of them ) in the room one night a week, it emits a vapor that will keep them away, and kill them if they are exposed to it for a few minutes. Just don’t stay in the room with them, not recommended to breath it for long periods.
Alright thanks. How do you wash the buds?
You can search bud wash on here as well. We can walk you through it. A few buckets, hydrogen peroxide. Just dip the buds in the first bucket with the H202, and then rinse in another and hang out to dry.
My most recent one.
It looks incredibly tall and spindly. Is it in sunlight during the day? For an auto to shut down midflower is alarming.
What soil are you in. Where did the amnesia haze come from? Are you positive it an auto? Its happened before. Im guessing its outdoor? Are you keeping it on the porch? It needs to be in direct sunlight at least partially.
And i cant remember what site i got the seeds from. But it said amnesia haze auto
Ive seen seeds mislabeled before. I dont think this is an auto. I think it was starting to flower and as the days get longer it shut down and revegged. It stretched a ton. You don’t happen to have indoor capability do you? If you do you can get it back to 12/12. If it starts flowering again its a photo. Thats the only sense I can make of it. You could maintain it through the summer outdoors and see if starts flowering when the days get shorter. Do you keep it under lights on the porch as well? I see the side lights and the other one.
Yeah i use lights when its on the porch. If it survives the summer i can try to make it to fall but the way its dropping leaves i think its gonna die
Even if an auto, I like to let them have a dark period. We had a grow event here where the growers were supposed to have photos and a lot, not all, got autos. Gonna be a beast come fall. The leaves should come back. Let’s tag a few folks and get some better input. @kaptain3d @Budbrother @Bentstick can you guys check this thread out and see what yall are thinking might be going on?
To me, she looks lika a Sativa photo that is revegging and rootbound… 
Something seems to be going on at the root zone…
But I would wait and see what @Budbrother , @Growdoc , @skyfishbud , @Dman1969 think…
It definitely appears to have some possible root issues, or watering. What exactly are your runoff numbers? Also, what is your watering schedule? Ideally, tell us more about your medium, nutes etc. You are definitely going to need more light to flower a plant properly as well.
I’d like to see some numbers and grow info on this as well.
And yes she has Sativa traits, wet is my guess.
Ive got it growing in fox farm ocean. I use lotus nutes and water only when the whole base is dry, about every 3 days. 6.1- 6.3 ph and 1500-1800ppm in and 500-700 out.
Root lock could be an issue, it has gotten alot bigger than i expected and ive only got it in a 3gal fabric pot
