Hi everyone, first post here. I'm an amateur grower this is probably my 3rd grow and I picked up a few clones from a friend. The clones came to me with Itty bitty yellow speckling plastering the bottom leaves and now it is starting on new growth. I know deficiencies but I really am thinking it's not nitrogen deficiencie, I transplanted them into fresh coco soil and followed foxfarm feeding guide for fresh cuts/seedlings. The yellow is still slowly creeping in. The girls with it don't seem stressed or sick but any discoloring worry me. Any info is much appreciated thank you!

Feeding schedual is as needed I have moisture sensors in planters to tell when she is thirsty, temp is a little high going between 78-84, PPM is between 400-470 with a 700ppm scale EC is 1.8 and im sorry im not sure what RH stands for

Number 1 rule when getting clones is are they bug free?Never bring into your room until they've been treated and cleared.

Those clones are covered in mites

Oh please say it ain't so?? Luckily the new clones are separated from the rest of my crop ( separated by a tarp) will they still spread? Is there any hope for these babies?

Thank you everyone so much for the quick and on point information! I've just pruned the 5 clones that I got and we're infested. Drowned them in spider mite insecticide ( Rose RX only one at local garden center) I have them separated from the other crop they are in their own closet/detention center . I will post back in a few days with updates hopefully they recover. Some super tasty strains id hate to lose.

These fuckers will hitch a ride on anything,Keep with the treatments every 3 days and spray something different then what your clone guy uses.These bugs/mites dont die easily.Good luck.

Thanks i have a feeling I'm going to need it. Will mites stick to me and spread? And is it possible to catch before they are too hard to De-Infest? Should I empty entire grow room scrub from top to bottom, treat all crop with insecticide and then hope for the best? Or judging from the pics did i catch it before they were mobile? First time with an infestation im sorry for spewing at the mouth

They'll spread faster then Covid,if you touched those plants then touched another plant.You get the idea...
Everything that these plants were around needs to be cleaned.Shoes clothes etc..
Its full on war my friend lol.

Yes and hit it with a bug bomb for fleas, bedbugs and lice. Then use 2 quarts 70% isopropyl alcohol mixed with an equal volume of water. Add to that 2tsp potassium bicarbonate and ½tsp castilesoap. You can also add spinosad at its recommended dose for each week of treatment. Spray plants, pots, equipment, walls and everything else. Then spray again every other day for a week. Then every third day for another week. Cover every part of the plant.
Another thing you could look into is suffoil-x for the clones. It is expensive though.
No matter what, treat the entire area with some type of mite killer.
Good luck friend.

Throw em out and start over brotha, and start treating your others, you could potentially wind up with a real disaster on your hands, like jimmip mentioned it can get costly

Definitely thinking about it, the infested clones are separated completely how long should I watch and wait before deciding to uproot them? So sad to think about but I've got 10 other girls about 8 weeks old and I'm not trying to compromise them. It seems like a vicous non stop cycle like fleas. Thanks again guys and please pray for the ladies, gonna need it
