Hey, everyone...
Well, this is something I should have addressed earlier, and would appreciate some help with.
Well, a couple of my little girls (which are inside my closet) have like these tiny web type things. They almost look like tiny spider webs going from one branch to another. And on these very delicate, almost invisible webs are these tiny tiny tiny little bugs(?) that are sitting there. It almost looks like a spider web with baby spiders hanging out on it, but they're not spiders, waay too small. Anyone know?
Thanks!

You got your self some spidermites. They are caused from high humidity and heat. There are alot of things used to kill them. There is a foliar spray that you spray on, or a asthetic oil that will be absorbed by your plants and kill them for about a month, the latter being the more expensive.

Hey, thanks man. Yeh, after just a few minutes of research, I came to the same conclusion. The thing is, my plants seem to be doing just fine. And I think they're only on a couple of my plants, not all of them. Anyways, thanks :)

yeah... thats right now though. they will definitely overwhelm and kill your plants if you dont do anything about it.. even if you do get rid of them for a while they are very well known to come back after you have stopped treating for them... good luck man spider mites are one of the worst if you dont catch em soon enough.

have you noticed any tiny little white spots on your leaves? eventually they will begin to suck all the life from the undersides of you leaves eventually killeng the leaves and in the long term killing the plant. you definitely need to get rid of them efore harvest. i doubt you would want to smoke some spider mites.

"asthetic" wtf are you talking about? First off dont give advice if you dont know what your talking about, your like half the idiots that spout shit they read somewhere that dont have any real experience. Sure you might have had mites once but did you completely eradicate it? Did you even hit the low .5 grams a watt? with your cypress hill platinum og kush plants? of whatever the hell theyre called:confused:

Use floramite sc, works the best, its systemic last for 21 days, dont use if you plan on harvesting soon.

Its the only thing that will kill them, and dont forget to alternate pesticides because mites are known to build a resistance/immunity, we dont want a supermite hybrid running around were ever you may be.

once they start webbing they are on full attack mode, theyre getting ready to look for a new host, when you see stippling little white spots, look on the underside of the leaf, they/mites look like little specks. Immediately remedy the situation or plan on just scrapping your grow.

also you can do the pyrethium bomb (e.g. doktor doom naturally derived from crysanthemum oil) but youll need multiple and hit them in 3 day intervals, first kill the mature, next you will kill the ones that have hatched and on the third you will have killed the last of the remaining that have hatched. Becareful dont let the aerosol hit the plants because it will burn the leafs which will result in necrosis.

The thing is, it's only affecting (for some reason) a certain couple of plants of the same species--The other 3 different plants don't have any infestation that I can see. They look healthy as hell. Man, on my way home I am definitely going by the hydro store for something to kill them!
