Spidermite

[BentBuddha]

Howdy

 

I have a few very small patches of spider mite on my plants. I have a 2m square scrog scree. I'll be harvesting in 2wks so i dunno if there's any sprays i can use so close that won't turn me into a dead bug too. At the same time, i know how quickly it can go from a few small patches to a room of web.

 

What to do?

bro bent

kill dem all and come bak alone

get onto it

here is the recipe for a bio dynamic method of insect pest control

squseh about 20 adem likkle mites with yah fingers in a small bottel of pure water bout 100mls is fine

mash dem up

screw the lid on tight and give it a good shake

leave the water in the bottle right next to the infected plants for 10hr

 

when it is ready (10hrs later)

strain it out

and spray it on mixed at 100 parts water to 1 part strained spider mite solution

hehe

works everytime

for every insect

gotta love dat

and it free

[loylty gets u nothing]

can u bring temps down??

cooler temps will slow em

other than that this late in flower

id recomend a powerfull vacumm

and suck any that u see

another option is removing by hand

a time consuming effort yes

but spraying harsh chems this late in the show is not an option

dunno if yello sticky traps will work

shake the limb and round em up into the traps

all the best man

they suck balls hope u have a win

for vege i treat mine with KILL A MITE

its a 6A insecticide heavy duty but helps

once in flower i use a combo of wat i suggested above

all the best

hey,

Quick n easy solution is to just remove affected leaves and wear gloves to remove webs and any excess ones u can squash..

[konflikt]

use a natural spray like

beat a bug

 

depends on how early u get em....i used it within 24 hours and eradicated them

 

otherwise u maye have to use Yates Mite Rid.....but you will have to wait at least 2-4 weeks until harvest

This is JUST A SUGGESTION , try some Garlic and CHILLI spray , which you can make up yourself by crushing some Garlic and Chilli and putting into a spray bottle . At least it isnt harmful to humans .

Or , you could ask Hector as he seems to be the guru around here lately

I had some of these buggers a couple of weeks ago. I used a mix of water, castille soap (liquid soap made from olive oil) and neem oil. I sprayed the underside of the leaves and tried to avoid the buds. I did 3 applications over a week and haven't seen any since then. The same spray has worked for springtails. Safe and easy.

Best of luck.

Decreasing humidity to very low levels will wipe out spider mites.

 

These suckers will take care of them!

 

Introduce them to your garden and they'll be done with the spider mites by the time you harvest.

 

Collect them again and use them for your next grow, or set them free in the yard to get rid of any other spider mites in the area.
