Weird bug problem.

Hi, I'm relatively new here, my first post/question.

I'm going to try and attach a picture, if I can figure out how, to better illustrate my problem.

I am having some sort of buy problem. They are tiny little things that make spider web type strands on the plants, then suck out any moisture and kill the leaves and plant. Soap spray gets rid of them for about a week, and they are right back. If left
unchecked the web until it looks like the plant or portions of it are covered with saran wrap, plastic wrap. The are really tenacious little bugs and have ruined several plants. They are very very tiny, too. hard to see with naked eye, until their numbers are up, then you see little specks moving all along the web like structures they have built...rather quickly built.

Ok I can't figure out how to post image...bummer. Maybe I did, will know in a minute, I guess

Anyone have any guesses?

I am growing DWC, T-5's (fixture with four 4' tubes) and a Jumbo UFO LED's. Strain is indicia, purple kush. Everything was great until bugs. Oh, indoors, too.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated by this newbie!

Oh no the reason why it works for about a week is because you are only killing the adults not the offspring try Neem oil soak our plant with it and mix in some with our water and it should kill any pests or if you don't care for the organic you can go with some nice chemicals a No Pest Strip ( vapor releasing) should work.

Yeah that's spidermites and it looks like u got a lot of them. Neem is orangic and u will have to spray them every 7 days ( see directions), Cause they lay eggs & hatch... Neem will not kill both. Floramite is a non organic effective way of killing both, But as I said it is heavy duty. And u do not want to apply to flowering buds. Just pre flowering. And people shy away from it. There r several organic product in the grow shops...Azamax, etc. u can use through flowering, But when u have a heavy infestations they are very hard to get rid of. They r hitch hiker's & get on your clothes, etc. So it very important to clean as much as possible. Good luck bro, They suck! My sister brought some over last year...I no longer let her in my grow rooms, even with a shower! LOL peace & happy growing.

P.s. Spray in pm (dark) hours!

Thank you so much, guys. Info. greatly appreciated. I will not let those little bugs win...even If I have to "nuke," them with some heavy duty stuff! I'll really clean grow room well too, between crops.

Wow, that is the worst infestation I have ever seen on this site or in my life for that matter. Rather than retype something I've typed before, check this link and read my posting on getting rid of spider mites: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/409442-power-mildew-what-w-pics.html#post5322351

I'm sorry to deliver such shitty news but with an infestation this bad you might as well kill everything off and sterilize your grow area. Get rid off all plants and spray the whole area down with Floramite SC. It will not only kill the mites, but it will kill the eggs too. Once it's gotten to the points where you can see webs forming you have a big problem. With webs this large you definitely have irrecoverable damage done to the plants. Don't waste anymore time on these plants and start fresh.

dude get a shop vac and vacuum those webs off. put the fuckin buds inside the vacuum. it wont hurt the buds at all trust me. might fuck up a leaf or two but fuck it get those webs off

that is seriously thee worst spider mite infestation ive ever seen. i would kill those plants its not worth keeping them at this point and invest in some azamax or some sort of miticide for your next grow. good luck

Ok genius, that's about the least helpful advice I've ever heard. His plants are already fucked. Might as well start fresh and sterilize the room before a new crop or he's going to be fighting a never ending battle

Shut your fucking face idiot. You're just causing this guy a future upset if he listens to you

u dont know shit. u only think u do.

Sorry to get hostile in your thread Bobble but I hate to see people give shitty advice on here. If they don't know what they're talking about they need to keep their thoughts to themselves. I don't know everything but I've had enough experience with these bugs that I can catch them while they're still in low low low numbers at the very first signs of a problem. You have let this infestation go way too far to fix. Of course it's not impossible to get rid of them but with this much damage it will seriously affect the end result of your crop

Ok fuck face. Say what you want. I'm not going to argue with you anymore dumbshit!

u cant argue with me. u dont know enough.

if you decide to vaccum your buds look this up first everyone votes against it for many many reasons my vote is dont vaccum

OMG You two are Freakin funny! LMAO
I have shop vac'd bugs & their webs off of huge buds...it works.

i guess if its really that bad

but imagine all the trichs getting sucked up by a vaccum and not in your lungs

its a 1/2 of a second process.

The trichomes & the buds survived...when u r in the last week or two...who wants to throw it away. They actually shined like diamonds...U couldn't even tell which ones had been shop vac'd LOL. & was killer smoke without poison on it!
