dying mothers

[treefella6]

hi all . a little help please .
i have sensi seeds super skunk bonsai mothers that are slowly dying one by one .
They are planted in soil and get fed once a week with miracle grow .
there were spider mites but they have been treated.

symptoms are pale leaves that curl at the edges slightly , they then start to dry out from the tips and progress. they seem to loose the will to live .

i have attached photos below

how did you treat the mites ?

for a quick shot id say the pots seem too small, especially if you water only once a week ..

how moist is the soil ?

Whatever the cause, I don't think you should count on reviving them at this point. I'd stay start over. It's hard to guess what caused that leaf death, but it must have been something pretty serious. The most likely thing would probably be over and/or underwatering which often follow each other as we try to compensate.

Might be some root rot..
Im agreeing with MrG, but you might wanna try and repot those into a larger pot and ease off the watering..

Oh yea btw.....did you check for symphilids?

Stay Safe

You must have some mold on the stem, halfway up. Cut the dead stuff away, and
she may stand a chance. And repot. Good Luck!

i should have said i feed 1x a week but they are watered as and when they need . pot size is 1 ltr which is ok for bonsai mothers .
spider mite was nuked with chemicals (this may have exasperated the situation )
i did feel that they were past recovery so have binned them but in the process looked at roots soil etc . roots seemed ok soil was dry ish and in pot there was a powdery substance at the bottom which looked similar to above .
i am keen to find out what went wrong so it doesnt happen again .
