    Spider mites SUCK! No Pest Strip?

    So I checked my plants this morning and I cannot find any live mites. A couple of days ago they were scurrying around the undersides of my leaves and now there seems to be no adult mites anywhere. I did, however, find a few clusters of eggs which I'm sure are ready to hatch. I know there is a...

    Spider mites SUCK! No Pest Strip?

    From what I've read, you need to turn off all fans in order for the insecticide to permeate properly. I've been hanging the strips just above the tops of my colas, but I don't know if that's the best place. It just seemed logical to place them above the plants.

    Spider mites SUCK! No Pest Strip?

    Yeah. I'm probably going to have to disconnect my carbon filter and suck air from the outside instead of the inside.

    Spider mites SUCK! No Pest Strip?

    tent is 3 x 5. I turned off all fans, but my cool tube fan has to stay running because I have a 1000 watt hps. If i shut it off they'd cook for sure. I'm on 12/12 so the cool tube fan is running for 12 hours straight.

    Spider mites SUCK! No Pest Strip?

    Into my second week of flowering and third week of battling spider mites. After trying several methods (ie. Neem, iso/water) I went out and bought a Hot shot no pest strip after reading reports of complete eradication. I've had the NPS hanging in my grow tent for a few days now and the mites...

    Agreed. Every single SC'd branch came back stronger than ever.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    Patience is a virtue. All of my FLO ladies are looking good, and each one has 3 to 5 main colas. I will most likely practice supercropping on all of my grows from now on. Second week of flowering.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    Literally all of them have come back strong. Now I'm wondering if I should SC during the first week of flowering to reduce some of that stretch.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    They seem to be healing ok. I'm a couple of days into flowering, so when the light comes on I'll take a few pictures to show the progress.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    Thanks for the input everyone. Most of them are surviving and they are beginning to un-kink and correct themselves. Just goes to show how resilient these plants really are. However, I will still probably have to tape up one or two of them.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    I'm growing Flo and she seems to be pretty resilient. After a few days there is no sign of wilting or death above the pinch spot. Going to 12/12 today...............Fingers crossed.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    I do have fans blowing. Do you think they just need more time to recover? I SC'd only a couple of days ago.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    I definitely pinched too much, but I was hoping the stem would pull through given the fact it continues to produce new growth and move toward the light.

    Supercropping FREAK OUT!

    This was my first attempt at supercropping and I may have screwed up royally. I still seem to be getting new growth above the pinch spot, but the spot itself is looking pretty brown. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
