Omg !!! I dont know it they are spider mites or not?? Please help!!

I am seeing barely visible tiny white bugs crawling around the top of my pots, and in my soil. I am using FFOF. I do not see any on my plants???? I do have some dyna grow neem oil. Should I use some of that??? and how much???? Thanks!!!

I how much neem oil do i use!!! please someone help me!!! What is 1 to 1/2 oz per gallon??? how much do I use!!!!

Lol someone will have an answer sooner or later, they won't destroy your plants over night

any pictures?

Yes hold on You cant see them with my camera they are to small.

i use mighty wash for spider mites. completely safe to use up till harvest and it works great... no need to mix just spray it straight from the bottle. spray the whole plant top to bottom and especially the underside of leaves. try it out... not sure about neem oil tho.

probably just soil gnats or something. as far as neem goes i use 4 tablespoons to the gallon and put in a spray bottle. lightly mist bud sites and heavily soak fan leafs and other foliage.

Neem oil works to "control" mites but I was never able to get rid of them. It's hard to believe that if they were spider mites, that they wouldn't be infesting your plant like crazy. If you do use the neem oil I suggest doing it when your light is off or just about to turn off because it can burn your leaves with the light on.

I used neem oil for them, and did it just like you said drolove. Thanks!!!

thrips will look similar to what he is describing, they jump around on your leaves when you breath at them. they are small and white in appearance. the damage comes slower, they suck nutrients out of the leaves leaving a "silvery" looking trail , very small. after a while the leaves will start to yellow and burn much like a deficiency or chemical burn, and die. you can get a product from raid, cant remember what its called but they may have it at your grow shop, if its thrips you just hang this thing in your grow room like a car air freshener and it works pretty fast. when i used it, i couldnt even tell i had bugs within a day or so.. just shrivvled up and gone. warning, it tells you not to use around pregnant women.

crazy On page 1 of this thread I posted

• Now that I have calmed the fuck down, They are tiny white bugs that were crawling on my soil, and the rim of my pot. They were not on any part of my plant, and there is no damage to any of my plant leaves, other than what I know is to be nute burn. P.S. They were VERY TINY I could not have shown you with a camera. They were not hoping, or anything like that. They were microscopic, and whtie, But either way it jus took 5 yrs off my lifespan, so they still Win!!! Thank you guys for your thoughts, and tips for whatever these fucks are. I have done research out the ass, and can not figure it out. I have googled : Tiny white bugs, small white bugs around my pot, etc. PEace! I FINALLY know they are nothing more than, soil mites. let it go already with its this, its that, bs. ITs old already. ​

Calm down you big drama queen.

Before you calm down too much, make sure they are not the micro root aphids... those are a real bitch.

You will want to look for the shape of the bug... if it is a small white bug with a pear shaped body, then you might have ra's.

They will leave a waxy coat on the rootball/roots.. When the population get high, you start to see them crawling around the rim of the pots and flying insects that look just like fungus gnats but are much more quick and coordinated than a fungus gnat.

Don't panic though. In flower, I like to use a spray bottle full of a pyrethrin (evergreen) solution... i spray the pots, soil tops and wherever else I see small crawling bugs... but I am in coco. In soil, bugs are sort of expected. Even in coco I get springtails and some other non/less harmful crawlies.

Dude....release a lady bug or two to live in your garden...theyre on an endless mission looking for spider mites.

oh, and aphids as well. I always release two every crop about 3 weeks into veg. You can even keep them lpng term.

Don't overwater,dontput deadleaves back in your soil, when your plants big enough give it around6 inches between the soiland foliage it makes ur plant harder to attack . also if you haven't begun flowering u may b able to give it a root drench n foliar dose of neem. Use recommended. Dose or less and flush soil right after applying rootdrench. The foliar apply should b light off with no aircirculation fora few hours . Next day or so rinse leaves off with water and rub withfingers softly. Make sure applied initially to tops n bottoms leafs every inch. Srry posted thisoff my phone. Careful with the neem that's pure n strong if it's dyna.

Go fuck yourself BUDS!!!
