Could someone please tell me what’s wrong with my plant, I’ve done as much research as possible and I feel like it’s Spider Mites but I can never find any! Thank you to everyone who responds in advance! ![20190416_140904](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/9/d/9d3ff2c3431db94d7010de94492bd8d006a83037.jpeg) ---

Sure does look like it. How are you looking for them? ---

Magnifying glass at the nodes, under the leaves, flash light under leaf to see if I see movement as well. I’ve been using a neem oil based insecticide for organic gardening but it doesn’t seem to be helping. What other options do I have? ---

If you’re using neem you may have killed them. The damage will remain. Do you still see it spreading? \*edit Did the picture change? Not seeing the same damage as I did before ---

Yes I changed the picture to a different plant with a more visible depiction. I’m seeing this spread up to a couple of small areas on my top leaves, not bad. I can post an updated picture in about an hour if you’ll still be up? Is your diagnosis still the same based off the changed pic? ---

I would add the other picture. That one looked as typical mite damage. The new pic looks more like damage from wind or manipulation ---

First one looks good. Looks like some dirt/nutrient splash on some of the leaves Second one looks like mite or thrip damage. Third one looks similar to second but is a little more blurred ---

What about this? Wind burn? ![20190419_182831](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/d/6/d61497b9c65030891f3dbc008c0875913b60b0d6.jpeg) ![20190419_182839](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/3/2/32b329ae1ae5259755adf82ce3dc06e7c7fc67c1.jpeg) And how would you suggest getting rid of the thripes, that appears to be a controversial topic. Water and alcohol? I feel like that would completely melt the leaves away. I cut off the dead parts of the leaves since they are no longer useful, just waste nutrients and energy, correct? ---

Your plant is young enough for neem oil. It’s safe and your plant is really spread out so it should be easy to get everything. Get the soil as well. I wouldn’t cut any leaves. You don’t really have a lot of them. As long as there’s green on them they’re useful.
