Only ones I see are leafhoppers and I’m really worried that it might be that virus that they spread curly top something….man, right when things are going good…I need to figure out what to do now besides insecticidal soap sprays

Yeah so you suggest getting a 60x loop and then if so does this stuff work?
Yes it works and before you consume that weed you need 3 generations of cloning it out. I would use citric acid or something else, literally almost anything else. I would not use a neurotoxin as a first line unless you have to have those genetics. But that's just me. However I come from neurosurgery and removing tons of glioblastomas so that's a risk I would not take on something I vape or combust almost straight to my brain.

PS yes I have used it and cloned out to the third gen prior to flowering. But I had to have those genetics. It is absolutely effective.

I can see tiny little orange bugs could it be a different type of mite that’s causing this? If I cut off all the new tips and essentially top it again could that help? I’ll toss them before I run the risk of my wife smoking some neurotoxic shit. What a bummer. I have endured so much physical pain but this shit makes me want to cry lol! They were the most beautiful plants I’ve ever grown! I flushed them and this happened. I think it’s truly my novice mistake. I was short on soil just by a bag or two and used old soil. They must have been in there. Ughhh

Before ripping everything up I would triple check an 100% ID the bug your dealing with Iam still not sure you got the borg yet. I have heard wettable sulfur can work sometimes very safe in veg mode. Also look up close up pics of broad-russet mites so you no what your looking at. I suck at links @curious2garden

It's still veg so sulfur would be your best first shot.
Just make sure you haven't used oil 14 days before or after treatment with sulfur.
Don't apply at temps above 80f also.

Only reason iam holding back on russet mite is you say everything was fine until you flushed them? Big ph swings can look like this also.
I like what you’re saying i can work with that. I purchased test strips but it’s hard to read them to get an exact read off. Any suggestions on good ones? I have to wait till tomorrow for the loupe and I’ll have a better idea.

So you recommend any sulpher treatment? How do I apply?

Download the label from manufacturer, easier to read and follow their instuctions for the application rate.

Generally, you have keep shaking the crap out your sprayer when applying to keep it in suspension.
Make sure you get every surface both sides of leaves, re apply after rain.
Doesn't tank mix with oils, azirdiractin, Bt-k.
