Hey guys, I got a major problem, I have spidermites, about 2 days before harvest. I dunno how to settle this, can I just harvest and the mites will die during drying cycle or should I treat them with pesticide and give them another week of flower...!

all ur input is welcome cuz I,m in a freakin bind.....


thanks peeps

well damn, I've honestly never heard of anyone getting them 2 days before harvest...I say get a pyrethrum fogger and kill the bastards, then give your plant the extra time...I mean cuz...if you went ahead and harvested...I dunno, I would just think I was smoking mites.

Spidermites are mostly on the leaves, the buds are sticky ( if you did it right,and is good weed ). You could do the dish soap and water spray..( under leaves ), then give it a couple of days then do your flush

just harvest it ,,,, mites dont eat stuff that is dying or already dead ,, so a few days into drying they will go away

thanks for the info, that's what i figured too , so i took it down and its drying now, hung it upside down since apparently the mites go for the top so apparently a few of them will climb the trunk and clear the buds....
