Background:
I have three areas, clone tent, mother/veg tent, and greenhouse for flower.
The tents are in separate rooms, and the greenhouse is outside.
Am hydro, in clay balls with Mills nutes.
6.0 PH, and 250 PPM veg, then progress up to 700 PPM until a week before harvest flush.
My latest crop was doing excellent in the veg tent. Very healthy, happy, perfect environment, using full spectrum LED.
Have those in 6" net pots.
Then moved to greenhouse, which is in backyard.
When pulling each plant out of veg table I put the 6" net pot into a 10" pot in order to protect the roots.
I have always used 1k HPS for flower.
I'm an electrician, and designed the environmental controls around the heat produced by the HPS, and use that for winter crops.
I just started the two grow areas, have always just veg and flower in same place.
A day after putting the 2 month old beauties into flower in the greenhouse 2 were mostly dead and could not be saved.
Upon inspection I could see those damn borg spider mites.
I use Azamax, Green Cleaner, All Seasons, and a custom mix of Neem, baby soap, Rosemary, Thyme, Permeation, and Malathion, and will alternate treatments two days apart for two weeks.
Have a full selection of magnifiers that go from 35x up to 200X, including a USB microscope camera that does pictures and video, and scope at least 2 or 3 times a week.
I took these pictures last night, have never seen these "bumps" on a plant.
One looks like it was some sort of "cocoon" that hatched something.
The greenhouse had been empty for about 3 months as I just did not have time for anything but work.
Before reusing I emptied everything, cleaned everything, filled the reservoir with 20 gallons of water and 2 gallons of bleach, and ran the bleach through the table and hoses for a full week.
Drained, rinsed, and ran clean water for another week.
Then drained, put a hoist on the table to drain as much as possible, pulled out the rez, cleaned thoroughly, rinsed again for 2 days, then drained before setting net pots.
Then totally drained, pulled out the reservoir and thoroughly cleaned,
Here's the pictures
