Spidermites are easy; insecticidal soap, pyrethrin, Azamax all work, if you can alternate between them so much the better. Spray every 4-5 days until they're gone...

And then weekly forevermore! Add kelp foliar to the spray so the plants get benefits. Don't apply after the first few weeks in bloom.

Rut roh, Rorge! As the plant dries, the spidermites will die. They may web up the buds in the process. You can use a mild pyrethrin but even though it's organic, it's still not allowed in commercial facilities in Colorado. Mighty Wash is billed as organic and pesticide free, it still has pyrethrins in it.

Pyrethrum is approved for commercial sites, but it has to be on the 'approved' list. I believe it is the aerosol bombs that are not allowed, but that I would have to double check on. We have a few organic commercial operations that use this product to treat mites. We have to order it from Ag supply stores.

The list of approved insecticides/fungicides gets narrowed down evey couple weeks. It often times has to do with labeling issues or undisclosed compounds being found during testing, rather than the compounds themselves.

Is this for Colorado, or where? Good info, regardless.

What the fuck did you just dribble?
 
First look at the CRI test lamps I'm building from scrap metal. Beautiful isn't it? :) The 1825s will be running about 53 watts each, almost 60% efficient at full power. The 18" x 5.886" sinks could easily run passive with that load, but I'd like to get them extra cool, plus this will keep the drivers nice and cool too. Open frame will make it easy to switch the driver around to each lamp for the spot testing. Testing may begin as early as some time this week. It will deserve it's own thread but I though I would post the initial build pic here. This was fairly straight forward but it was fun to get back into DIY. Technically the Tasty lamps are do it myself, but the design is set in stone... more like a job than a hobby.

Just had this happen. After you hang the mites will all climb to top of stem. You will see those bastard stacked on top each other. I put fire to mine. Crispy mites.

You may want to go outside and shake the crap out of them and shake some more before hanging. This will get a lot of them off. Or get you leaf blower and stand back a distance and blow those suckers off. Just a idea

I got lucky they didn't get onto the main crop I chopped then down before, I'm buying Forbid 4F and will have then sprayed and fucked up by next week.
thanks mate.

Yeah no shit! I just gone done battling some myself..

My theory?

I'm growing using Ebb & Flow method in flower. Seems flood times definitely have to be adjusted. I was watering every 4.5 hours under HID in the same grow space. Now I'm at six hours with a fully COB array.

There's definitely a learning curve a goin' on.
