Help! Mites on my buds

[Bose]

I found mites on my buds. How do I get rid of them

not much you can do during flower. i tried introducing 1000's of ladybugs and that didn't help. sprays work but i wouldn't on buds.

you'll get a little protein every time you smoke 'em.

when you get done with this grow, fumigate the hell out of your grow room.

OK this sucks.

 

[rkymtnman]

yep.

were you at a fellow growers place or a grow store lately? i think i got my infestation from a grow store i visited and never cleaned up or changed clothes before i went in my room.

Theres not a whole lot you can do. I've heard of people using a vacuum to remove the mites. But i imagine after a few days they would come right back. Might eggs hatch in 3 days so you would just be slowing them down if it did work. Good luck on this problem though!! buy some bug bombs from lowes after this grow and nuke em.

they only eat leaves so the buds "should" be fine. they just get in every nook and cranny

I would just go through and remove what webs i could to kind of slow their progress until harvest. Take the leafs that are completely infested off carefully. They most likely came from outdoors. But who knows.

I have heard of guys using neem oil so google that.

 

[Bose]

i have neem oil I don't know about getting it on the buds

never use neem oil on buds.. its very toxic. Not to mention it smells horrible..

 

[rkymtnman]

I have heard of guys using neem oil so google that.

in veg. not towards the end of flower or you risk getting mold. i'd rather smoke mites. smoking mold can kill you.

i have neem oil I don't know about getting it on the buds

foliar spray it.

i have neem oil I don't know about getting it on the buds

next time, give your plants the neem oil in early and late veg. i mix with water and a dash of dish soap

 

[rkymtnman]

foliar spray it.
