Spider mites!!!

thebest said:

okay, here is the thing tho. There is a bunch of flowering plants around my plant. They arn't really paying that much attention to my plant, which Im greatful for. But I know when she starts to bed it will be a different story. I am appox 2 weeks untill the flowering stage will begin is my estimated guess. These little fuckers are pissing me off. I havn't been able to run to the store and get anything to really solve this problem, but I did do a major water spray with the hose and I used dis soap, I don't know anymore. And to make things better, I have nute burn now. So now I have to go threw flushing.

lots of dish soaps have bleach and shit in them...you may have hurt your plants with that and not nute burn....use hand soap if you are gonna use soap....besides...soap aint gonna get rid of the problem...its less than ten bucks for a bottle of garden safe insecticide from lowes or home depot....and IT WORKS...I will tell you guys why everyone is so bummed about and afraid of getting spider mites....its because everyone trys to use these hairbrain mixes and home remedies and they try to stay organic....well...I will just say this to you guys who wanna go out of your way for some crazy mite fix.....people dont formulate and do testing on this shit for you for shits and grins. it's proven to work and proven to be safe.

I used stuff that was suppose to work, apparently it doesnt kill the eggs. which is going to be a huge problem in about two weeks when she starts budding. I dont konw what kind of pesticide to get.... its driving me crazy. And i know what nute burn looks like its deff high nitrogren levels, but luckily for me it flood rained today. so That and me watering it should take care of the problem

hot shots no strip pest control they work like no other do a search there 6 bucks at home depot

got pictures? never really saw what they look like or what they do to your plants.

use this....you can find it at Lowes.....it will kill the eggs...or read labels and find something similar at another store...as long as it says Pyrethrin......0.02%.
It will work and I promise if you use it twice in one week you will not have any more issues....but it HAS to touch every part of the plant and all of the top soil. also....when you spray your plants....do not wash them off afterwards...it will defeat the purpose...this stuff is safe to leave on the plant. Hope that gets rid of those bastards for you. they are just a creepy, irritating problem to have.

spider mites are hard to get rid of the best way is to blast em of with water and try and keep the population down its hard to eliminate them completely as mites and such breath through there skin any thing that gives them alight coating will kill them eg soapy water the downside of killing them on the plant is the snap crackle and pop of them when u smoke a cone!

do you realize they lay eggs?

yep and take about ten days to hatch this is why they r hard to get rid of the sprays u buy have to actually touch the eggs to kill them which is hard to do as dope has many nooks and crannies and unless u pull every little bit of new growth open and spray it u will most likely have a few eggs left and b4 long u have a mite problem again u can do this but it is dangerous to your plants health to do this because new growth is sensitive this is why the blast method is best it keeps them in check no-one likes to party in a rain storm this is also good cause less chem the better they say its safe but so are sausages.

I am gonna just say this one more time.....SPRAYS ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO YOUR PLANTS HEALTH!!!!!!!! Seriously.....if you believe this you have been had. spidermites are dangerous to your plants health...and so is spraying homemade shit on your plants. Also...if you have buds on your plant and you blast them with water...kiss a bunch of trichs goodbye. a mites lifecycle is three days also...just so you know...not ten. and no it is not hard to spray every nook and cranny of the plant. done it plenty of times...BTW...does this plant of mine look like it is dying from mites? I dont think so cause I sprayed it with insecticide...the same shit I posted earlier....I am not trying to be a dick...I just dont wanna see everyone wasting their time trying to get rid of mites when they can kill em with a pyrethrin spray in no more than two applications...and the fact it is safe is great isnt it? funny thing is they even make a pyrethrin spray for vegetables...I just use the garden stuff cause it's .02 instead of .01 pyrethrin....but you can spray both of them on your girls up to day before harvest.

yeah im hearin ya bro im in aus dont know if we even talkin bout same thing to be honest just puttin in my two cents worth from my experience in the game im not sayin ya cant get rid of them im just sayin there tricky .

Ya got to even get into those hard to reach areas like between the stem and branches ect . Figure it like this ... When ya clean your ears ya got to get in the small parts of the outter ear and twist the Qtip to get down in the nooks and crannies . Just put the spray on mist and sit down , roll one take tme to examine the plant . Look for moving things ... and spray that area a lil bit more then ya would ect. Good Luck

Thanks guys for all the help. I think I have it undercontrol now. I havn't notice much of anything new. So, we shall see. I am still going to spray, just to make sure.
