hello all.

I have 4 Jack Herer plants (grow them for medical reasons) and I've noticed spider mites on them. Only a couple weeks left to harvest, what to do? So far, no webs, been killing them every day and wiping leaves and eggs. Since there isn't a place close by where I could buy something good that wouldn't hurt the plants I have to rely on good old soap and water solution.

Also, there are little black spots all over the leaves, does that have anything to do with spider mites?

Used molasses a couple of times in combination with the usual flowering nutes and noticed white spots on leaves, could be PH imbalance but that only showed after molasses was added to the usual nutes.

White flies? Don't get me started.... I'ts an ongoing war. Firs there were little black ones, those I finished off with cinnamon (worked like a charm, just put it over the soil where they lay eggs)... Then the white monsters showed. But ok, I kill them, they come back, mutual love.

Spider mites worry me. :((( I'd really really like to finish this because I need it and I don't have the time for new grow. Please, if you have any advice let me know.

i use neem oil and keep the plant moist with a spray bottle, if you want to get rid of mites you need to buy something and take measures to prevent them from invading again. not sure about the ph thing, i would cut back on the additives and look for any improvements. i get spidermites too, but neem oil usually kills them all and i keep them moist because mites have a harder time moving around water droplets.

I'll use the Hot-Shot No Pest Strips haven't killed me yet :lol: they'll take care of bugs if you really have them in a day or two ;) how many weeks of flowering is this 6th so expect the plant to look sick and dying :)

Looks like you have afew things going wrong: black spots are thrip damage, chemical damage is white patchy spots on leaves, and of course the dreadful spider mites. If theres a way to get it outside and powerspray it, you can get alot of the mites off to get you threw till harvest time. Setting it outside at night time with the cool temps will piss em off too.

thx for your fast replies. I have another problem coming, the weather is cooling down in a couple of days, lots of rain coming this way so I'm trying to find a solution that wont hurt my buds with moisture. trichomes are still crystal clear but slowly showing a bit of cloudy here and there so it shouldn't be much longer. I bought this powder that's good for plants in flowering, could be I used a bit too much and molasses just made the plant drink it all.

will try to soap-water combination and see how it goes before I try neem oil. I heard neem can make buds taste differently, is that true?

Neem at this point will wreck your buds. It'll make them taste terrible.

Use it in veg though, it does a great job keeping them away. It's all about preventative maintenance!!
