mites

hello all,

well i have the famous lil black dots under the leaves, yes its mites, question is, what can i do about this?


thanks

Do yourself a favour dont fuck about with any of the so called wonder concocions go and buy some Vitality + from your local hydro shop, I have used them all over the years, but this one does what it says on the packet, the other thing is this stuff kills the eggs aswell which is what you want or you just have too keep spaying your plants and you dont want to do that.Now the down side it is quite expensive, i think i payed about 21 english pounds for a 250 ml bottle but you only have to use 25 ml per 1 ltr of water.

does floramite work? there bad but not killer, just under the leaves.
i want something that will kill eggs and all.

If they are in vedge you can wash them off with murphys oil soap 1/2 cup to five gallons of cold water mix enough to dunk the plant. mighty wash works good for flower, hot shot no pest strips work well depending on the space you may need more than one. and yes floamite works but your only supposed to treat them once in the lifetime of the plant. I wouldn't use floramite for flowering plants. azamax also works good

It depends what they are. Neem oil is great but doen't work on thrips. The next thing to think about is the insects cycle and lifespan. Eg, spider mites must be done twice in a week to catch the eggs that hatch. Fungus knats live in the soil etc.....

some pics would be nice I just seen a grow with thrips and those are some nasty critters. I couldn't get out of there fast enough

Avid!!!!!!!!!!

Mighty wash. It works will never use anything eles. But there really isn't a 1 time use a cure for them.

floramite 5 weeks into flower, no choice, wish money was as reproductive as these things lol

Look up this product and it will tell you the retailers in your area that carry it...
" Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew" - by BONIDE..this is a spinosad product...

..i just used this for thrips and it is an amazing product..no smell,100% Organic(just microscopic bacterium that kill bad bugs of all sorts)-read up on the page..just google it..

avid and floramite are very expensive and are for ornamentals, mighty wash works, but as stated, you need to stay on top of them, one spray will NOT rid you of them. you are going to war and you need an arsenal, not just a machine gun.
fox farms 'don't bug me" is a liquid pyrethran and is great for thrips, just not for mites. using azamax,mighty wash,no pest strips, hot pepper spray, you might have a chance of ridding them, but it is my understanding, once you have them, you always have them, you just need to keep them under control. I am going to try out some natural predators and see what results they give.http://www.benemite.com/

Extreme control is all some of us can ask for, depends on the region but here conditions are great for mites.

Predator mites are the way to go IMO. They really do work effectively and pose no health problems like synthetic miticides do.

After unsuccessfully trying neem oil, Safer's soap mix, diverse natural oil mixture recipe found on the net & 3 different natural predator ( and in the process loosing lots of cash ) i found all these solution where only working temporally . I finally resolve to purchasing a chemical stuff in last resort. I chose Floramite cause of the review i found about it & IT SOLVE MY PROBLEM AT ONCE. The important thing is you can't use it in the flowering stage or you will poison your buds. If you discover a mite infestation in the budding stage use a more natural solution to complete your grow then use Floramite on your next grow as soon as you start the clone cause even if you see nothing at this stage you certainly have a few residual mite that are just waiting to infest again so use Floramite when you start the clone & then a second spray 2 week later for peace of mind. DON'T SPRAY IN THE BUDDING STAGE & repeat the same process with next grow for prevention you should never see those pest again.

Didn't I hear sumptin about ladybugs getting rid of mites too? If u have an inclosed space that is, right? I haven't had an issue with mites in awhile so I really haven't had to pay attention, but I guess ladybugs r only if ur growin organic, unless its another bug they get rid of.

Nvm says they eat Aphids, mites, thrips, and mealybugs

Ivermectin for pigeon mites will cure any spidermite infestation in hours-only use in veg.
