6 Weeks into flower and my babies are not looking to good *pictures included*

Hey there - My plants had a spider mite problem end of last week, so I solved it with one of those no-pest strips. This did a great job at killing the spider mites, but the plants did not respond very well to it. I removed the pest strip and removed all the infected/dead leaves hoping that they would rebound, but the problem has just kept getting worse. It looks like a serious deficiency in something, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense because it is affecting all of the plants at the exact same time and they are receiving the same nutrients since the start of flowering (Fox Farm Nutes). Part of me thinks they need to be harvested because the hairs are turning dark orange, but it seems far to early. Haven't bought my handheld microscope yet to check the trichs because I thought it was too early, but maybe I need to??... If anyone has any experience with no-pest strips, and/or has seen a problem similar to this, I would love to hear your advice. Thanks for the help

No one like to hear this but I think its time to start over they look stressed to hell among other things, your getting lots of brown hairs so there's nothing you can do to help them at this point. Better luck next time.

are you from the south? cause that looks like deep fried weed to me. way over fed, maybe a ph issue. i use the no pest strips and i dont think that is your problem. hairs are not an indicator of ripeness, trichs only.

no shit trichs tell the ripeness but when the hair really start to brown anything you add nute wise wont help.

Hah not from the south... I only water them when they start drooping a little bit (~3 times a week with proper nutrients)

Most of them fell off...

woah i say where thers green theres hope. but i have yet so see leaves fall off anything but trees quite frankly

So you feed every time you water?? If so, you should check your soil PH if possible. Might have Salt build-up and low PH locking out the nutes? I usually feed once every other watering at most, and I use half the recommended dosage. I have lost a lot of yield by giving them way too much nutes. What nutes are you using?

I'm using fox farm... I also use half the recommended dosage, but I do feed everytime. This could be part of the problem. I'm gonna try and use sledgehammer tonight to try and get any salt build up out of the soil, then start feeding only once/week. thanks for the advice
