My thoughts exactly!!! Thank you for the second opinion to back up my current thesis. I have been attacking them with neem oil and sm-90. Im pretty sure I got them in their early stages cuz I saw the little eggs on the undersides. I sprayed the shat out of them. You think if I keep up a daily application I can successfully combat these little fuckers?!? []Deace!
Yeah - I'm battling those little bastards myself. Last plant is still flowering, then I'm going to shut "the room" down for a week or two to engage a major attack with something a bit more caustic than neem
. The plant I had that seemed to attract them the most was a predominant sativa...had to chop that one a tad early to keep from ruining my others, as they were all so close to harvest, I couldn't spray. That's what I get for starting them outside - brought the bugs in I guess.
After the room/equipment/grow buckets are sprayed down and cleaned, I'll be paying MUCH closer attention (changing clothes after gardening outside, etc.) to making sure dem bugs don't ruin even one more plant.
Neem seems to be the most natural way to eradicate, but it takes awhile. I've heard good things about Einstein Oil (a neem product).
Other choices are Floramite, Spinosad, and Avid. I also read somewhere that since they frequently crawl up the stem from the dirt, that you can smear either petroleum jelly or a product called Tanglefoot on the lower stalks/stem of the plant...supposedly keeps the mites from climbing up to the leaves, as they get stuck in the goo and die.
Best wishes on the grow!
Welcome,
