Spiders

they are spider mites, reg spiders are ok to have in the garden.
and what you can do about them depends on if your in flower or veg and if you want to go organic or poison
 
this will sound ridiculous, but it's old-school gardening knowledge not specific to ganja growing. make a mixture of a shitload of hot sauce or red pepper flakes or whatever and water, then mist it over the plants. the active ingredient in spicy food is actually a poison, and besides that it's extremely unpleasant for pretty much every organism except humans and plants
it's not so good for the flowering cycle though; if you don't rinse properly the last few weeks before harvest your bud will taste like pizza.

any strong herb is unpleasant for insect pests, spicy peppers even more so. you mist the mixture over your stems and leaves with a standard spray bottle
 
well i have tried the spices thing and it did not work that great, just made the plants smell herby.

i use neem oil, it does not kill instantly but it will stop them from breeding and suffocate the eggs, if the leaf is infected more then 50 percent i cut those off and discard in bleach or smash it, i also tend to smash the lil boogers with my forefingers. i spray neem when i have them every few days untill they are gone. neem is best to use before you get them to prevent them in the 1st place, plus its organic

I agree with this plan of action. Sometimes the oil can kill the little bugs by suffocating them just like the eggs. Routinely spray them down. Like twice a week for now. Repetition is key.

Also sometimes the oil won't mix with water so you need soap. I like martha stewarts plant (based) soap.

angry little bitch aint' ya. You're lucky you had any help at all .....if you were a real grower you would've done research like all of the other growers here. Somebody spray him with some hot pepper mix.
dude you're on the internet ....you have all the info you could ask for on this forum and on any browser. DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF NEXT TIME. stay off the boards if you can't handle the trials and tribulations of growing.
 
lool sorry sweetard i said that but i was angry its not your fault and ataxia i did research and it didnt work =/

dude you just summed up your entire skill, patience, and grow level by that statemnt alone. And brotha .... sweetard never thought it was his fault. He knew it was yours the whole time.
 
You big baby man, calm down and start a new grow. they gave you other ways to solve your problems and they didnt have to do anything for you.
 
Im not a big baby as you said , "i said all these things because i was really angry" , and yeah i will start a new grow but its really sad how i lost this plant .
 
Those spider mites still came from somewhere close. Make sure to get the neem oil from the local hardware store (homedepot/lowes/ace) and soap if it doesn't have a demulsifier already in it(it will explain in the instruction on the label). Spraying them down weekly before any problems appear will prevent soo many problems from appearing. It's the week you decide to stop taking preventative measure by spraying, when the next infestation will occur... it's like moore's law or something... Good luck with the next one, although I'm sure your spidermite infested-pepper burned baby could survive through this. Just with a little TLC and foliar attention. Spraying the leaves now with just plain water might help clean those clogged pored, but it might just be easier for you to start again.
