Unhappy spider mites, damnit
Spider mites 2.5 weeks from harvest, and running two banks (every 4 week harvest), so there is a lesser problem on a set with 6.5 weeks left. sprayed down the recently flowered batch with neem will be repeating again in a few days. What should I do with the ones that are 2.5 weeks from there due date. So far I have put a much stronger fan on the most infected areas, and I did spray some neem on the leaves that were most infected. Anything I can use that won't cause mold or ruin the buds?

Thanks in advance,

-regrets.

I was leaning towards a good fogging, but are you sure that this won't ruin the buds a bit, being so close to harvest? Is there anything I should do after the fogging to deal with any chemicals that are left on the plant?

No webbing on the buds at all, just a small amount on the most infected leaves. I removed a lot of the leaves, and did a hand rub of neem on the leaves that were left on. I also got a pyrethrium bomb to set off after this harvest, so that the next group doesn't become infected. The heavy fan seems to have done a great job of atleast slowing them down. The plants are all very healthy this round until this and I think if I can make it another week or so then I can harvest the 2 that are most infested a bit early without really harming yield too much. Also to those of you suggesting ladybugs and other beneficial insects, I have heard that many of them don't function in a 12/12 light period. I have never used them mself so I'm not saying that is true but does anyone know whether or not they are worthwhile this late into flowering and during 12/12.

i would probably just keep using the neem on the leaves, maybe they will get the message and leave hoho.

what would spraying Raid around the plants do? not on them, just around them, because often ive noticed bugs cannot tolerate even the smell of Raid and they will go away
so maybe, if you spray like a piece of cardboard with raid, and just have it sitting near the plants (spray it in a different room) they will go away, but then again that smell, the plants might also be sensitive to it, it may soak into the buds and give it a small hint or weird flavor (overall i don't think it would make that big of a difference)

but idk, because i grow for my own smoking purposes, and im not a little girl, its like whiskey, i buy the cheap kind and it gets me just as drunk as the expesive kind.
so things like that, I don't really nit pick about. i just wouldn't spray the plants directly.

Bugs will not help much,try to move infected plants away from clean ones
After you harvest spray your room with 35% hydrogenperoxide not raid or bleach
Much better for you and your room. Cut the 35% to 1o % and spray your entire room down,let dry repeat next day.
Next time when you veg floramite them to be safe or if you see mites
This shit will kill and keep em off for awhile...Good luck Hbr

i was 2 weeks from outdoor harvest and found mites, i seen where a guy said apple juice concentrate and i tried it. it worked!!!! with no adverse taste. ill probably mix the concentrate 1 to 1 or 2/1 just to thin the concentrate a little next time.
