Ouch right at that marker hit them with a spray or not been there. Do what you think is right. If they were still whispy and forming buds i'd spray but if they were denesing* up at all i wouldn't. When able to spray, spray as late as you cant just to break up there breeding for as long as possible.

For spider mites in flowering a couple a things factor. how many plants do you have ? how many strains do you have ? are all the plants infected ? some strains ive noticed spider mites like more than others (dinafem white widow ) they love that strain. Check top see how many eggs you have check under leaves. get rid of leaves with lots of eggs this slows them down.After ripping off egg infested leaves either spray with Azamax (or a food safe mite spray of your choosing), or if early into flower you could add predatory mites. Always wait at least 2 weeks after spraying to add predators or you will just kill them too. Remember "When temperatures are high and humidity is low spider mites will feed more, causing increased damage. This also causes female mites to lay more eggs in a shorter period of time." There for lower your temps and raise that humidity<-this works great. If all else fails you can wash off all spider mites of in a hard shower wait a day or 2 to rebuild some crystal you damaged, and hash it all out.

i'll decide in a day or 2 about spraying. they are plumping up nicely.

when i harvest this batch, i'm cleaning up the whole room like i just started growing and then i'll nuke it. i want to get my landlord in there to do a little man work for me. i currently just use the spare bedroom with a tent in it. hot air from the tent is drawn into the room. i'd like to draw in cool air from the hallway and shoot the hot stuff out into the attic. i think i might add another 600 watt. maybe. i'm just curious about what i could do with two 600s and 12 plants.

i had a perfect picture of 2 lights chained together in my size tent. i wanted to show it to him and explain what i wanted. now i cant find the picture. :mad:

how the heck do i post bigger pictures?? i can see the bug fine when it's large.

anyway, my camera skills suck, the flash always effs up the shots. there must be a way to not get a flash...

here is one of the little buggers. they are light green and the babies look pretty much like the parents but they are white. i did see one that appeared more brown but i think it had been dead after being on the sticky trap for a few days.

most of the stuff on the sticky trap is debris from the soil or plants.

i've got about 30 days to go and although the leaf damage makes it look bad, most of the leaves still look ok. i'm debating wheather to spray the room and the plants or not.

i haven't seen one of them for 3 days. probably hiding and laughing at me.



this shot was just after watering. considering how beautiful my flower room usually looks, this is annoying. still nice looking but those messed up leaves are annoying. detracts from the beauty.

38 days in flower. :)

thanks. they usually look better. i'm not used to having so many leaves messed up. my cinderella 88 gets orange hairs around day 30ish. she's sweet at 55 days, but i prefer the high at 65 days. :)

i'm not sure about the shedding of shells but i have seen a couple young ones and they are all white.
