Thread: Question Bout SpiderMites

hey everyone
do spidermites have a actual web/line they cast because i have stringie web over a couple of my buds.
i was wondering if this was spider mights or normal spiders and can it hurt my baby
peace

webs on your plant = spider mites 90% of the time check under the leaves if you see tiny dots moving about you have spider mites.if you have spider mites your in trouble they are the hardest and most damaging bug you can get.read other posts on how to get rid of them,i use no pest strips btw

The tops of the leaves will have whit speckles everywhere, under the leaves you'll see things moving or lots of little whit balls(eggs)> Good luck You'll need it.

fucking devo this grow was going so well..................

What do they do exactly? im 5 or 6 wks in flower they been around for a wk i guess? do they eat the bud should i just pull the grow now? or fix the problem
peace helps n imput appreciated

they feed of your plants and they will KILL YOUR PLANTS.so you had better start dealing with them now.or you can throw everything in the garbage clean everything with bleach and start new

humm depending on what stage ur grow is at? If your still in veg most likely was just a normal spider!

Hey man ......There's no need to worry about normal house spiders as my pad is infected with spiders and snakes to that matter.But when you have webs around your babies you have serious probs. Check out Hortico website they have everything u need to elimanate our worst enemy mites.

The literally suck the plants energy out in liquid form from where you find those white spots on the leaves. They are one of the most damaging pests. They compromise leaf area to absorb light to make energy and steals energy on top of it. How Far off are you from harvest?

im like 1- 3 wks i guees most trich are cloudy but sum arnt n theres afew staritng to go amber at the top oif em

What you think how long? Worth Chopping Now?

2 weeks left I figure? I'm not o great at this game. As for the mites you can buy a No Pest strip to hang in your room, or neem oil, or if you don't have a humidity problem you can spray them off with a squirt bottle, just try to keep the bud as dry as possible. You can freeze your plants to shock the mites, mine lasted 4 hours outside in -20c and the plants were fine. You can also pick up some End All and a pack of sponges, USE GLOVES AND A MASK wet two sponges and sandwich an infested leaf between them then rinse and repeat on another leaf. I think the ingredient is prythium(sp?), is made from crysanthamum oil, breaks down to harmless in a few days and under a light breaks down in a few hours so do it before lights out.

As for how bad your infestation is you have to check the underside of every leaf starting from the bottom up and look real close for moveing black dots, or round white balls, eggs. End All says it kills the eggs but I have a few doubts, they hatch about every few days and take 2-3 days to reach maturity and lay more eggs, so every 2-3 days for a week if you start now you should beable to knock them back enough to beable to not do any spraying a week from harvest.

If the mites get really bad they will web up your bud in silk, and suck precious life from your baby, I know I don't want to smoke web.

web smoke is better than none. i have to deal with smites every grow; just a part of the game imo.

neem oil, or green light fruit tree spray works very well, the tree spray kills some of the eggs and larva too, whilst the neem only does not.

no pest strips work the best, but are realy only effective in small and unventilated areas. the larger the room area, the more strips you need.
