The white stuff is not spidermites, its more of a clear substance actually. Do not know what it is.

from my experience with this, it’s a watering issue. is he root bound? what light is he getting?

I wondered too, so a couple weeks ago I switched it to semi hydro. These leaves have just continued dying. Idk if its still from that and trying to adjust or something else.

Its not root bound. Sits under a grow light which is on about 12-14 hours a day

ok! i’m not familiar with semi hydro.. there is a semi hydro group on here though, i’m sure they’ll have more answers ☺️
