Red bugs and leaves turning color

I only have the one plant, it sprouted June 1st, and started flowering the first week of September. Its about 2 feet tall.

It was outdoors up until about 3 weeks ago, but than it started getting snowy and cold so we brought it in, now we have it in a box lined with reflective stuff and a couple of those really bright curly bulbs.

about a week ago I noticed some of the leaves are getting spots, and today I noticed white stuff under those leaves and red bugs on some of the lower the buds.

I'll try to get pix up as soon as possible, what can I do? will my plant survive?

we were planning to harvest it on Christmas or soon after if it wasn't quite ready.

post pictures to help but the red bugs sound like spider mites to me, if they are you can buy anti spider mite spray at your local hydroponics store. If you dont have a local store to go to htgsupply.com has plenty of pest control products

I agree, putting plants outside is very risky. You'll pick up mites. I use Safer's Soap for them.

bastard spider mites....

spidermites are a compleat bitch and can devour a plant in days lol sucks man but every one will get them at least once

last time i had em i bought pestoff it was like £18 from my local hydro shop worked straight away

there is also one called spidermite stop



that them ^^^

yep, thats them.....

I remember on trailer park boys, they got a bunch of lady bugs to eat off their mites without spraying stuff on the plants. would this actually work?

yes actually it would work if you could get enough and make sure they do a thorough job. mr green did it in his hydroponics system with success

lady bugs are good but they infest the area ther in and can be a bitch if you dont keep an eye on them also there is a preditor bug i think it works for mites it fights and feeds on the mites then when all the mites are dead they attack each other

I'll see if i can find any, I doubt it because its been cold.

If I use spray is it going to reduce the quality. or make it full of poison?

Here are the pics

its turning a purple corlor bc of the temp it was in when it gets cold its known to change colors and whats the strain? looks like it will be dank

think your best bet is to get some spray and no it does no damage to quality nothing noticeable

if i were you i would put them back into veg for a while and spray the crap out of them with pest off it works really well man i used it a month ago and it killed everything straight away

the veg would be good cause then you can get rid of the buggers without them burying themselves in resin and bud and also means once there gone you can try and get the plant back to a grow able state and make sure it hasn't stressed out to much

the leaves started turning purple about a month after flowering, but just recently they started to get yellowish/white splotches.

I have no idea of the strain, i just found the seed in a bag I got off a friend

yellowish is probably the plant under stress and the spots are from the spider mites

yeellow can also be from ur ph lvls but it doesnt sound like it if its from spots usally leaves just start turning yellow and are the buds turning colors too?

Well the leaves themselves aren't yellow, but the splotches have whitish yellow patches.

The buds arnt turning color that I can see, its just some of the leaves

ok i was gonna say if the buds are turning purple then ur bag appeal went up but yah good luck with those spider mites

yeah their actually called predator mites

up here in humboldt we use ladybugs if we get infected with spider mites....they love warm areas....after you harvest you have to spray entire area to rid or they come back....we never ever spray poison on our plants.... even though its ok to humboldt county does not.... usually at the begining we spray so it has time to flush out poison

lady bugs lots of them.. no spray this late when you harvest spary then or they come back
