Gday all, discovered webs on my colas after trying to find a cure for my yellowing leaves.... I'm only a week or two from harvest...should I kill her now or? ........cry?
 
Mighty wash with lights off or raised very high....wash it off with water couple hours after it dries.
 
Do NOT attempt to cure yellowing leaves when close to harvest. It is normal 4 leaves to yellow at this time

well I'm trying to become a better grower..i am aware that some strains yellowing is normal, lack of nitrogen possibly...so did some reading trying to find out whats goin on with my leaves...still didn't really resemble my problem..so went back to plant and did a good closeup inspection...glad I did..i noticed the web first and then the little black critter cruising along...grabbed my outdoor pyretheium spray and gave her a mist..thats when I got too see the full extent the problem! Did some more reading and found out these critters suck the.chlorophyll from the leaf tissue..inturn turning the leaf yellow except the leaf margin or central spine of each finger..
 
No mighty wash is a product sold in most grow stores, that home made concoction will probably fry your pistils ...what size plants,pots? If small enough fill up a garbage fan with soapy water n dunk em...just the plant not the dirt....just get loose dirt off top so it does not fall in n muddy the water.
 
Can we get a pic to see the severity ? I would only use dilute neem oil but if they are quite bad then chop early.

If they have made it to the top of the plant then it's pretty bad.
 
I'm trying to do a perpetual in dwc...i can remove her but shes big brittle and very sticky! I'd be really scared for my trichomes...

The truth is at this stage of bugs( you have had mites for a while now if you have webs) it will be almost impossible to control them. Id spray with might wash(no mighty wash then ph water and some soap and rosemary extract) but it probably wont be a cure . Id vacuum as much of the bugs off but it will only help a little. Basically your screwed at this point and just try to control them as much as possible till harvest. Clear room and clean and bomb and clean and bomb. Also turn over all the leaves and kill any bugs that you see. You will notice that a few of the leaves will have tons of mites on them(remove leaf).
Good luck. Ist key to check your plants leaves daily for bugs. Again at this stage you have had them for a while.
Good luck
 
Tryed some pyrethrin spray,too strong burnt the shit out of her...chopped her and still got couple o zips of some really nice smoke...read a couple of old threads, garlic , cinnamon, soapy water sounds the go...plus I ordered bottle of mite rid for next go......

You're going to have to bomb the shit out of your grow tent as well as the room it's in. You need to destroy every living thing in the tent and wherever the tent is or else you're just going to get another infestation when you start up again.
