Spidermites ? PLEASE HELP Quick
Growing in dwc 5th day of flowering.
Ok so I noticed those yellowish speckles on my lower branches (upper half of plant doesn't have speckles ??). So I tried put a piece of computer paper under the leaf and tapped it and then looked at the paper and seen about 4-5 very tiny clear bugs (almost microscopic)
ARE THESE SPIDERMITES ??
Also I did the paper thing again multiply times and couldn't find anymore. Also my humidity is around high 50's which is not as good for mites.
Spraying azamak tommorrow all over plant about 1 hour after light goes off.

Hotshot no pest strips. They contain Dichlorvos which is used to keep grain bug free while it is in silos. It has a half life of a few hours.
I use them like this:
I have my exhaust fan on a timer. I also have a small floor fan on a timer. I put the hotshots in front of the floor fan and time it so when the lights go out, the exaust fan turns off and the floor fan comes on, blowing across the hotshots. An hour before the lights come back on, the floor fan kicks off and the exhaust fan kicks back on.
Every few days I add a new hotshot.
One thing, if your air pump is in the same room as the hotshots, you will push hotshot air through your airstones and into your reservoir which will cause nutrient deficiencies (the Dichlorvos blocks uptake of some micronutrient causing discoloration). The fix for this is to have the air pump in another room and run a tube to your system. That way you are bubbling only fresh air through your buckets.
Keep this up for a few weeks, and all mites will be dead.

Doctor doom is my product of choice. Your local hydro shop should have it... or online on ebay. I order from oasisgardenhydro.com. Should cost you less than $20 for a bottle.
Dr DOom works well to knock them back, but it does not kill the eggs. If you use products like this do so during vegetative. The best mite spray I have ever used was kelthane but they outlawed it back in the early 90s. One application kills the mites AND the eggs.Originally Posted by Trash305
