Spider Mites Taking over late in vegging early in flowering

**dab420** · 05-09-2010, 08:38 PM

I have had them slowing my plants down like crazy for over a month now. I tried lady bugs for 2 weeks. neem oil for 2 weeks and last i just tried was Anamax. It has been three days since I watered with the anamax and I just found them still thriving on the plants.

What else is there to try? These damn mites are invincible. How bad will it effect my harvest having them still around?

I just posted in the thread, "mite infestation 2 weeks from harvest help!!". It is a long post but should help you immensely and answer all your questions. I assume you mean Azamax not anamax... or if you do I assume the active ingredient is azadirachtin. You are on the right track using this stuff, it is the best product I have ever used, but you don't water with it to get rid of mites. A spider mite has its entire life cycle on the leaves of the plant and never are in the soil if a live plant is around. Watering with azamax will only get rid of SOIL bound larvae. Spider mite eggs and larvae are on your leaves. If you use your azamax as a spray it will work wonders. Really though, read my other post. If you do that this early on you will not have mites anymore.

Hey thank man. I read your post. I am kinda afraid to try the fogger but I guess if this doesn't work then that is the next step. I think I have pretty much eliminated them to a point that they won't be presenting much more of a problem. The tops of all my plants are green again and the super yellowed leaves are dropping off. I just have them a pretty hefty amount of vegging nutrients to get them nice and green before I kick on the second 400 watt bulb for the flowering period. The budding has finally begun =)
