    Unhappy Aj62 Help!

    I found spidermites on my buds. Someone told me to mix Rubbing Alcohol with water 1to1 ratio. Has anyone ever heard of this method? if so, will I still be able to smoke it? Will it effect the taste?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    The only thing i have found guaranteed to get rid of them.
    Is floramite,it stays active for 30 days.and if you dip the plants in the solution they will vanish.
    Remember that for 30 days after app you must wash your hands after everytime you touch the girls.
    Its strong stuff.but so are spidermites.
    They are the only bug that would make me use something non organic.
    I friggin hate those things.
    I mix a 5 gallon bucket worth and dunk the whole plant.
    After dunking them all i water with the left over.
    I hope this helps.

    Default Spidermites

    You can try all the solutions and mixes but there is a much simpler solution. LADYBUGS, dont go to your grow store, they are more expensive, usually they have to ship them and they will try to talk you into something more xpensive. Call around to Plant stores and Nursuries, took me about 4 tries down the yellow pages. You buy them frozen, put them under the lights and watch them eat all day long.

    lady bugs are very effective. on most bugs.
    imo once spidermites start breeding, to #s that u notice them.
    its to late for lady bugs.
    if you do golady bugs remember to water them.
    or they will die quikly.

    Ladybugs worked for me , they ate all day, and i had noticed physical signs of them being there, ie... webbing. The ladybugs will not fly away if there is a good eating envirment for them to habitat, this being advice from the greenhouse owner, ended up being true. but spraying before is a good idea, they are very thirsty when they awake from there hybernation, you dont want them flying off looking for water, put them at the base of the plant and have them work there way up..
