I discovered a spider mite infested shrub about 30 ft from my pot plants. I sprayed it with Spinosad as well as everything else in the garden including my pot. Now I'm home after a week away and while the plants have grown lots they have this damage to the leaves. Does this look familiar to any of you guys and gals? I guess I'll spray them again. Just before I left, I fed them a light solution of earth juice nutes, veg, catalyst and cal-mag and I had set up an auto watering halfway thru the week.
Bug damage or deficiency, looks like bug to me but what do I know....Also if it helps, they are an autoflower CBD. "Amnesia Auto CBD" from Dinafem.
Any help is much appreciated!

Looks like ya splashed something on it?. looks like it is lower leaves? can you take a shot of the whole plant?
 
Hi 2 red eyes. Nice looking girls you have there. It doesn't look like a deficiency to me as the new growth in that girl looks nice and green. I can definitely spot some spider mite damage ( white spots on leaves)))). Those last 2 pictures look like there was a bit of nutrient solution splashed on a couple leaves. Did you spray the plant for mites during the day when it was sunny weather by any chance? Keep a close eye over the next couple weeks. How often are you watering before the pots are nice and dry.
 
Another quick question, are the bottom of those 2 fabric pots raised up a little from the plastic container they are sitting in. Does it have a hole for the excess runoff to leak out?
 
Hey 400w, yes. Did spray them at about mid morning. It was sunny but not hot. I don't believe I have splashed the leaves with nutrient mix but can't be sure. I water about every three days but I do a finger test down about two or three inches to check for moisture. They are usually pretty dry when I water. You might be on to something though because there is quite a bit of new growth that look really good and it's just the older lower leaves that have this damage. I think I'll spray again today and then be careful while feeding and watch carefully going forward. Thanks for your help.....
 
Good morning 2redeyes. Do you have a good loupe eye piece you can see what bugs you have? I would look on the underside of the leaves for bugs. This is the one i use and love.

Hi Rose, I just have a lens attachment for my phone/camera so I just ordered that one. $5.99 shipping included, can't beat it. Thanks... in the meantime, I'll try to have a look at the bottoms of these leaves. The other plant, a hydrangea, was covered with webs and the pot plants don't seem to have any at all. I cleaned the webbing off and sprayed everything. I gave them another shot this morning and will continue watching...thanks!
