Newbie needs help!

Let me first say I'm a little nervous asking for help because I've read some pretty mean comments on here... and plenty of great advice, but I'm desperate. My flowers are growing nicely until I started noticing the lower leaves slowly getting tiny yellow spots and finally yellowing. It's starting from the bottom and going up. I have looked and looked for any bugs and I can't see any. I am a long time vegetable gardener and I'm learning as I go. There is so much information out there I am overwhelmed. Can you help me please? These are Yellow Skunk, auto-flowering, feminized seeds.

I'm no expert, in the second picture it kind of looks like something mite be eating a layer of the leaf, those round light spots, id get a 60x or 80x magnifier and look for things u can't see with the naked eye. Pest prevention is always good. Just my opinion, good luck

If it is mites what do I do? I looked and I think your right. I see small tiny webs under some leaves. Now what do I do? Can they be saved? Thanks for your help!

Would I use Neem Oil?

You can save the crop, you definitely have spider mites.

Or just buy something like this at your local store: https://www.amazon.com/Doktor-Doom-Spider-Knockout-16-Ounce/dp/B002JU1QEI

Omg thank you so much, geez I wish I would of asked days ago! You guys are awesome!

I would find some kind of insecticide like azamax or neem oil or something and spray them down. If its mites you wana start a regiment and use 2 or 3 different sprays often. Dont spray anything when the suns on the plant, there's lots of spider mite info you could research on here. They are very common and can be devastating. Yes they can be saved looks like u caught it early on. Just do more research, this is just an opinion. You are very welcome and good luck!

I ran out and bought Neem Oil spray, whew! Do I only spray the leaves or should I also spray the flowers?

It really pisses me off that new growers are scared to post on this site anymore. This place never used to be like this. People put more effort into showing someone up then they would if they just helped the poor person. Yes there are times that people post some pretty off the wall stuff but I'm seeing negativity everywhere. For what? To look cool on a forum? To be a cyber clown? Its rediculous. This site used to be a place people wanted to come and it was a welcoming place. Just based on your original post it proves that this is no longer true and it's bullshit. If you ever need anything please feel free to pm me.

Thanks so much, some people just like to be mean. I just took the girls outside and sprayed them real good with water, when they dry I will spray on the neem oil. I read I should alternate so I am going to buy another type and alternate. Learning so much with my first grow. I am having a blast! My one question do I also spray neem oil on the flowers?

Great thread man! I myself am a newbie on here and feel the same at times. But there is so many good people on this sight. Especially saving my first flower!

Do not spray it on the flowers. Can damage trichs and make your buds taste absolutely awful when finished.

Okay got it, thank you. I will spray it on the leaves and not the the flowers. They smell wonderful and I don't want to ruin that delicious lemony taste.

It's been over a week since I treated the spider mites with neem oil on my plants. Can I treat them again? I am noticing my fan leaves are still yellowing from the bottom up.

I also hand washed all the leaves with soapy water.

Are you feeding your plants at all .....and you can spray neem again but I'd look into getting another spray so the mites don't get immune to what your using ....they can grow a tolerance to sprays ......I like to use neem and azamax ....and alternate between the two ....I even use them together sometimes ....azamax is pricey but a tiny bit goes a long ways ......but the yellowing looks like it's fading fast because it's flowering and lack of food .........remember to add a drop of dish soap to your neem oil mix and spray lights out .....good luck

I am feeding them
FoxFarm FX14056 FoxFarm Happy Frog High Phosphate Bat Guano Fertilizer, 4-pounds. I was afraid to overfeed. Do they need any super thrive? How much of the first one should I be feeding them? I hope I don't lose them!
