Lets try this way this time..
from the kalis and the bangi, the light is really low power, temps seems good so i hope they give me something with a pinch of luck
pray my girl pray
The acid all open
so i was thinking, to raise calcium in the soil, since the biobizz soil is peat and ph around 6.2 from the bag, i could add gypsum and dolomite, thinking with both the ph wouldnt change much?
Peace

As an exact science it might be. In gardening circles it's thought to be neutral. I have not seen calculations that use it's acidic properties so I'm guessing it's very mildly acidic. It will be difficult to calculate the dolomite to offset it, without any actual numbers.
A page of search results regarding it's use to lower pH, all say it's it's neutral. I'm at a loss with that one.

Today my clones seem to be pointing the light, i hope is not too much, they will tell me in the next days
this night the rh was around 75% because of rain, in one day it went from 40 to this, and inside the tent went up to 81% max in the dark hours, so in my already defeated war i oppened a bag of cat silica and in the morning i place 3 things to catch humidity..
also since my Acid Kush is at a stage where this could be the killing of the main actor so i inspect her the best i can with my loupe, phone, flash of the phone to see different textures that could be interpretated like tricks when its not, she is all open, fan pointing at her, i cant do better i think so i can just pray to cannabis gods and hope for the best..she still present me burned curled up tips, but yellowing, maybe any kind of lpckout because of something that i dont know?low calcium maybe?rh in soil?dunno, tomorrow im going to see the soil ph
The light at 75% is not very hot, the hygrometer is not the most accurate but can give you an idea of what to expect..i like a lot of the light untill now, not to hot over or under it, is strong no doubt, at the distance it is from my small clones laying around the tent and the readings that i get with the lux metter just to "compare", is stronger, the only deffect i see is the covering because is more centered in the middle, besides that im very happy with it, and the tent too very sturdy overall

Anybody knows who they are?spider mites?aphids?
They are only in the bottom part of the pots in the plate where i water..i dont find them anywhere else in the plants affected and i dont see none in the top of the pots under the rocks..
only 3 plants affected by now, the somango, black domina and now my Acid kush auto..the somango and the domina have this shit by some time by now, the auto get them now..any other plant seems afected, both in the soil and in the plant itself..
the thing is they are only in the plates of the pots, anywhere else that i can see..the white bodys seem corpses of fruit fly, we have a lot of them in the country this year..did this guys came to catch the flys?
fuck me
Peace

They look like soil mites to me.
Soil mites are beneficial. I bought some for my planter.
Spider mites are much smaller than soil mites. You pretty much need a jewelers loupe to see them.
Spider mites ame found on the plant and spin webs.
Soil mites have 8 legs root aphids have 6 legs.
You may very well have soil mites protecting your soil and plant.
Here's some more comparisons between soil mites and root aphids...
The left column is soil mites.
The right column is root aphids.

The left column is soil mites.
The right column is root aphids.
| Tiny at 0.01 – 0.06 inches (0.25 – 1.5 mm) long. It’s extremely difficult to see a soil mite with the naked eye – you’ll need to use a digital microscope like this one | Small at 1.5 – 2.5 inches (38 – 64 mm), but single root aphids can be seen if you look closely |
| Soil mites are usually white or brown, but can also be black, orange, yellow, green, pink, or red | Usually white or brown, but can be dark green, gray, yellow, or pink. Root aphids are colors that help them blend in with soil and roots |
| Not an insect but an arachnid (cousin of spiders, ticks, and scorpions) | Insect |
| 8 legs as adults | 6 legs |
| No antennae | 2 antennae (shorter than normal aphids’ antennae) |
| No defined waist between the thorax and abdomen. Soil mites have what looks like an oval-shaped, unsegmented body, with no obvious head and only mouthparts | Pear- or teardrop-shaped, with the head and midsection narrower than the abdomen |
| No tail or tubes on the body | A small tail, with 2 tail pipes sticking out on either side at the end of the abdomen |
| Might be seen walking on the soil’s surface, but spend most of their time below the soil’s surface. Soil mites do not climb onto plants (if you see mites on the lower leaves you probably have spider mites) | Found on or just above the soil line of indoor and outdoor plants. Crawlers (wingless root aphids) may crawl onto the lower stem and leaves of the plant to feed and live |
| No obvious signs you have soil mites, unless you see them walking on top of the soil | Drop white, chalky honeydew as they feed on the plant’s roots and stem |
| Ants eat soil mites | Ants are often found near outdoor root aphids. These ants take care of aphids because they enjoy eating the honeydew that aphids drop |
| Lay very few eggs at a time on the surface of the soil, but some soil mites carry their eggs on their backs | Lay many eggs in the soil in fall to survive the winter. In spring and summer, root aphids lay eggs on plants’ lower leaves and stems. The eggs hatch and baby nymphs drop to the soil |
| Larvae that hatch from eggs have 6 legs (2 less than adult soil mites) | Nymphs are smaller versions of adult root aphids |
| Soil mites can’t fly or jump. Most are slow moving or spend a lot of time sitting still | When seasons change or the plant becomes overcrowded, winged root aphids are born. They fly away to start new colonies |
| Soil mites are good for plants and soil, so you won’t see any signs of damage to your plants. The mites break down organic materials in the soil and eat fungi and bacteria to keep the soil healthy. The only way to know if you have soil mites is to carefully inspect the soil and look for them with a microscope | Root aphids pierce and suck nutrients out of a plant’s roots, bulbs or rhizomes, making the plant vulnerable to infections, root rot, and mildew. The plant often grows galls on its roots. As the aphid colony gets bigger, crawlers start sucking on the plant’s lower stem. The plant’s growth is stunted and it never grows as big as it should. The leaves turn yellow and fall off. Flowers and fruits stay small, don’t grow properly, and fall off early. |
| Soil mites prefer moist compost and shady or darker areas of soil, where there isn’t much direct sunlight. Most active at temperatures between 55 and 63 °F (13 – 17 °C) | Most active when it’s warm, between 68 and 80 °F (20 – 27 °C) |
| Found in soil | Infest both soil and hydroponic systems |
| Soil mites are beneficial insects – it’s best not to try to get rid of them or harm them | Harmful pests. Insecticide is the most effective root aphid killer |

I think i have root aphids, im fucked basically
Peace
I dunno, they look like soil mites to me, they appear to have 8 legs.
Here's a picture of the soil mites I had...

This is a root aphid...
They are quite a bit bigger than a soil mite.
Try to see how many legs your critters have.
Don't give up or panic until you know for sure what they are.
You posted while I was posting this.
You need a jewelers loupe to see spider mites(they are bad) but you can see soil mites with the naked eye.
