2 weeks from harvest.. and then this : (

first off dont stop growin never do that...second all the bud can be salveged but you might have to make hash out of it.....bugs suck i got a gnat infest on a plant that i had been growin for almost a year...long story short no more plant..so i know how it feels just befor you start a new opp make sure you bomb an sanatize everything..

could be something other than mites. it may just be that 1 bud. check all plants very close. keep an eye out for those brown leaves. sometimes you just see the dead tips. i got caterpillars BAD last year. i don't know what to do this year. i'm thinking of a bug zapper to kill the moths before they lay eggs in my buds again.

Could be a candidate for mass-bug-murder with a smashed-up chunk of dry ice left to sublime in the well-sealed, darkened grow space. Don't know how big your grow space is, but if you raise the CO2 concentration to 10,000ppm for 15-30 mins, it should whack anything in there that breathes oxygen- including you, so be elsewhere and vent the room fully before going back in.

just woke up and have to go to the dentist. Im still in a pist off mood.

I am growing outdoors... just click my grow journal for pictures. Its in my sign

Yeh I found a worm of some sort inside one of my buds couple weeks ago, had to cut open a bud to get him, but I got him. Couple days ago I found another worm/captapillar on one of my buds, but i got him before he could get in. I wish my plants would just hurry up and finish, so I could harvest now, before those bugs harvest for me.

Jack, that sucks dude but my guess is that it's not mites but worms. You'd know if it was mites - you'd see these little black or reddish dots moving around your leaves, especially the underside. You'd also see little paleish or reddish eggs on the underside of the leaves too.

Well its good that they arent mites though, but bad that its still something. Hopefully its easier to get rid of then mites.

I just got back from the Dentist, got a franactimy, not sure if thats how you spell it, but if hurts so fucking bad, and im swalling pure blood every swallow. Not even sure if I will be able to get out there to check on them today. Im in sucha bad mood now, and I cant even eat anything. : (

Dude, I feel your pain. Not literally, thank God but communially.

I haven't researched the worm problem so I'm not sure you are better off or not. I will tell you that the mites don't "eat" the buds or leaves but they do suck the sap out of the leaves or stems. This eventually weakens the plant and makes it susceptible to disease. Eventually, if unchecked, the mites will suck so much sap that the plant will die.

I'm battling the mites now on my own grow and I just need another week, at most.

when I did my first indoor grow last year, I read somewhere that I should spray the closet good around where the walls meet the floor, with a good bug spray, I used HOME GUARD.
I think someone ought to put this in GROWFAQ to help others prevent what happened to you.
I'd be sick, man, if that happened to my buds.
