Yep, spider mites. Believe me I know! Many good insecticidal soaps formulas on this site. Also try a "Hot Shot" pest strip. I've been using them for a month now and it really helped.

Being one that battled mites, I think it may be a mite problem. Go to Radio Shack and get a handheld microscope. They cost about $15 and will help you greatly in seeing the trichs and looking for pests also.

So from what I am reading you use it for veg and flowering. I was always under the impression it was used soley in the flowering state but I'm a newbie!

Very good! I'm going to the supermarket now! Thanks!

When you say; "the trichromes need to be under 50%" Do you mean under 50% amber or cloudy? I definitely want to bring out the cerebral sativa high and avoid the "couch syndrome" in this batch. Thanks

I think it is interesting that the link for the item (very beginning of thread) says; "O3 doesn't just mask odors; it removes them and then harmlessly converts into CO2 and oxygen". Hmmmm, CO2,,, wonder if the CO2 can be recycled into the grow room for plant growth? Just a thought.

When should the molasses be discontinued? Same as the nutes I presume, a week before harvest? 1st grow and I didn't use it this time. I'm ready to harvest in 1 or 2 weeks but discontinued nutes a week ago (jumped the gun). I'm going to resume feeding and stop in 5 to 7 days (watching the...

Growing Jack Herrer (Jock Horror) in a coco mix. My first grow. I think I have some time to go since my trichnones are still either clear or milky (mostly clear) and none are amber yet. I may have overreacted with my calculated harvest time. I don't want to harvest too early.I stopped all...

I bought some Fungicide3 also but think I am going to go with the tobacco steep Seamaiden mentioned. I've been using something like this on my apple tree and it worked rather well. I think I have some time to go since my trichnones are still either clear or milky, none are amber yet. I may...

Yeah joebuck, spider mites suck. I have the two spotted variety. The infestation isn't that bad but they are still there and it grosses me out! I've done a light spraying with an insecticidal soap and then a through drying using multiple fans. I then gently vacuumed the buds with one of those...

I've been battling mites off and on and am about a week from harvest and they are back! I need some input as to what to do so close to harvest. I don't want to use predators (such as lady bugs) since they wouldn't be here in time and my wife would flip out. I need to know what to do to avoid...

Thanks ThunderLips. Kinda thought so but wasn't 100% sure. I appreciate the answer.

This is off topic but how about the bubble bucket method? Can the buds and leaves can be wet then?

Yep, just as I thought. Takin' then out back tomorrow and shooting 'em! Thanks all!

Totally bummed. As you can see by the pollen sacs, my first two plants are males. The best I could hope here for is a hermie but it doesn't look that way either. These were my "flagship" plants. I have 4 more that I will be putting into flower in a week and am hoping for better luck. Does...
