Hot water for mites.

Probably wasn't the smartest thing, but found a mite problem today, and had to remedy it. things seem fine right now.

Shoot I started flowering a little one like this about a week ago. How long did it take before you could determine the sex? Yours seem to be growing quite nicely

9ish days...pretty sure

you put hot water On it? Don't know if that was good. How did you apply it?

faucet, covered the rest of the pot with a bag so it could be held upside down w/o dirt falling out, and so as not to over-water.

sorry, there are two plants. did it to the one with the problem...left the other one alone.

try a few drops of dishwashing soap and water in a spray bottle next time
good luck

got some of those no-pest strips (the vapor kind, made by hotshot). figure they have 5ish weeks left, so everything should be cool by then.
