insect problem? flowering stage

[eighty8]

hey guys, i think i have an insect problem, wont bother with pics as phone camera is shitty, but leaves down lower end have started to go spotty, on underside of leaves is the odd black spot also red mite like creatures are cruising around i have noticed, plant appears healthy although the spotting is starting to spread, i think im only about 3-6 weeks from harvest so im not sure as to what i should do, is tobacco spray safe at this stage??

any suggestions guys cheers

Yes the tobacco tea is safe, but if it's mites you're better off using Mite Rid. The stuff works the best!

Can you try taking a pic anyway...can't hurt. If it's spider mites {do you see any webs?} you need to act fast.

dunno if these help, ill get a better cam tomorrow, no webs that i could see either. is that mite rid stuff smokeable???

[Pam]

Yeah you can use the mite rid. Also see if you can order some predator mites online. From what I can see of the leaf it looks like you have spider mites. In the mean time, try washing off as many as you can with plain water.

Yates make a product called natrasoap, it's available from bunnings, and it is safe for hydro.
