make sure to give them a heavy spray below the leaves and between the buds, they'll hide in the calyxs.
Bad spider mite infestation in week six of flowering Please help
I was in the hospital for a week and my friend did not know what to look for and I have a bad spider mite infestation. I have six plants and two are badly affected and the other four plants are just starting to get infected. no real damage yet to those four. I have quarantined the two bad ones and pulled off and burned a lot of the badly infected leaves. I have some insecticide/miticide/fungicide by ferti lome that is made of neem oil 70%, pyrethins .25%, and Piperonyl Butoxide, technical 2.50%. It says it is safe to spray on herbs, fruits, nuts, and spices until the day of harvest. I was told by my hydro store that Azamax is ok in this late stage of flowering....is it any better or different than what i have?? I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me.

im on riu mostly during the outdoor season, so PM to get in contact, posts could take longer for a response but ill check in when i can.
Azamax works good. Says you can use it up until harvest, but I didn't spray mine past week 5. You should throw up a couple hot shots no pest strips.
Spray whatever you got as soon as you can. Its a tough fight against those bastards. Lower your temperatures as low as affordable and that can help slow down their reproduction.
Spending a couple hours just smashing them/picking them off can be suprisingly effective for small gardens.
Azamax/Azatrol leaves a strange spicey taste to harvested buds.
I have not had a late flowering spidermite problem before. Have had them in veg though and azamax did the trick.
If I got them in late flower I would try killing them with high co2 levels.
It works like a vaporizer. We'll get stoned through the vents on the way there.
Thanks for your quick responses! I am going to spray what I have and cool it way down here in the morning....I am in Phoenix.
I use SNS 209 made by sierra natural science.....check it out its Aamazing
Neem is great but its better preventative , if your trying to get rid of them you need something stronger, like dish soap or pepper if you don't want to use any thing super chemical , but the dish soap isn't a fav of mine . i Knew a guy who got rid of them by cutting peppers open and grinding them then applying them on his leaves gently with a brush , but he was in veg don't do that to budding plants
Well in flower they are a huge deal...I have seen people try to kill them with too much CO2 and then trying to vacuum the plants to get any bugs off...but really very few people have success eradicating them in flower...
I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!
You didn't say what week u r u? The earlier the better. I would even take them into the bath/shower turn them upside down and drench with a Neem oil 0.1% SPRAY solution, thats 1ml / litre. You can shake the main stem after to get the droplets off.
MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER U CHOOSE TO USE, U DO IT AGAIN IN 3 DAYS TIME TO CATCH THE HATCHING EGGS !!!!!
The later in flower the worse it is !!
