Spider mite

hi
can i use pest off while in bud stages please reply as i am infested
need tips please
cheers

i wouldn't want to....r they really bad? try and put a beer with some soap in it in the room. when i put cups of water in my room to raise the humidity i always used to see those fucks in it... I think they're attracted to co2..and the soap would trap them....hope this helps

yes they r realy bad and thanks 4 the advice

i wouldn't spray that stuff on the buds...the moisture can cause additional probs on top of the spider mites. if it is real bad u might have to scrap em man---sorry

Ya plus I'm not so sure you want to be smoking the contents of pest off after the bud is cured. I've read a number of things, 1 of which is taking a moist sponge and wiping wherever the spider mites are. I've also seen something about lady bugs in a video? But I'm really not too sure how accurate that is lol but basically I would try to stay away from any kind of insecticides or pest off as you said

ye lady birds i have heard of but wat i dont no is weather they can b used in the bud stage thats wat i need answers 2
cheers 2 the replyers thanks

lady birds lol....you must be high....i have seen this fogger, I think it was called Dr. Doom, and it says it safe to use around fruits and vegetables and stuff like that...so I would assume it would be ok to use around bud too, I used it(during veg though) it anihilated every single last one of the little bastards.

I think im gonna go 4 spray safe on the bottle it says can use all the way threw harvest i need 2 act now . thanks 4 replys guys

You can use fruit & berry powder. The best thing I saw was an all natural crushed shell product that actually gets onto the bugs, cuts them and then draws the moisture out of their bodies killing the little bastards. the shit is safe too ! shit you can eat it. (might not piss for a month , smallprice for good reefer

Natural Predators (phytoseiulus persimilis) are about using living predators to search & destroy (find & eat) Red Spider Mites. These predators simply eat the spider mites for breakfast, lunch and dinner until there are none left and you have no more Spider Mites. These predators are only capable of eating Spider Mites and not your plants. Once the Spider Mites are all eaten the predators die, as they have nothing left to eat. We have regular weekly deliveries of the Red Spider Mite predator. Many growers choose to release the Predators into their growroom in the spring as a precautionary measure. (Recommended) To use just release into your garden and let them eat your Red Spider Mite. Information sheet available on request when ordering.

Because Spider Mite Predators are living organisms, we cannot always guarantee that we will have stock of this item. We receive a delivery every Tuesday and Predators are sold on a 'first come, first served' basis - so get in quick if you want to make sure that you get your mites!


how mnay can 1000 of these consume?

1000 will consume 5000-20000. I would suggest a CO2 bombing. release 10kppm+ CO2 in your room for 15 minutes to an hour. This is going to kill anything that isn't a plant which includes you. You need to make sure you can safely vent your room afterwards because the last thing you need decorating your grow room is your own dead body.
