Hi can anybody help first time growing my auto, was going all good looked healthy, spotted some whiteflys and spider mites on them the other day, so on dark I sprayed my plant with pyrethrum and wake up the next morning and they look sick leafs are turning brow, all this happens over night, will they live? It was from the pyrethrum that done this not the bugs.. Also any way to save them any options? cheers.image.jpg image.jpg

Bro that plant is as ugly as a hat full of assholes. Why do want it to live? its diseased ,burnt overwatered and full of mites, why are you asking us will it live? If it does it will be no end of trouble to you, small sick and wont grow.
Throw the fuckin thing out somewhere away from the growing area like miles away. Clean and scrub the area with bleach/water/soap solution , vacuum daily for a week and start again.

Yeah, a bowl of smashed arseholes. If you can, get some cal/mag in there. Some perlite could help when you move her into a bigger container or your next grow. Use something safer, like cali-clean or dish soap, to combat the bugs, after she starts flowering. It looks like she's already flowering. Get those bugs under control, or what little you get from her will be pretty icky. How old is she?

I wouldn't give up on it. I had a plant that looked hopeless. I nursed it along and got some of the best bud ever. It was also a great way to learn things.

To me it looks like a ph or nute (lockout or overfeeding, or imbalance) problem. But, if you're absolutely positive those spots didn't exist prior to your use of pyrethium, then that's actually good news. If it's one-time damage due to burning from insecticide, that means your environment's ok and new growth should be ok.

But, to me it looks like your soil might be slow-draining (not enough perlite, if any.). Keeping soil too wet can look like nute lockout because ph rises as the soil dries. If the soil doesn't drain well and stays too wet, that would limit the ph range the roots will experience (along with other problems).

For plants in early veg I use a Hot Shot No Pest strip if I have a bug problem. I keep it in a heavy ziplock bag. I'll pull it out for 6-8 hours a day, for about a week and that kills anything. (I wouldn't use it in a flowering tent. Not sure if flowers would absorb the poison. I won't use it in mid veg either. Just the first 3 weeks if there were bugs in the soil when I started.).

Bugs have a lifecycle which makes them difficult to get rid of. Don't be surprised if they're back in 3-7 days. (That's why I used pest strips at a low level for a few days, to cover all the bases.).

Even if they do survive your gonna have problems its whole life. If you can start again then do it. Otherwise find an alternative that's less harsh for pest control.

The best one was " That's bad nute burn. Did you forget to add water?" lol I still giggle to myself now and then when I think of that statement
