i need help i notice these like white spots. these little fuxers are eatting my shit so i took a little napkin an damped it with peroxide an put it on the leaf an stem will that harm my plant or no also i heard of putting the plant in freezer for 5 min any input is good input!!!!!!

Some people have had success controlling spider mites using a home made spray made from habanero peppers.

A kind person posted the recipe here on this site years ago. I recommend following that recipe.

Oddly enough I need to make some pepper spray for a friend today. You probably already know not to get habanero pepper juice or fumes on your skin in your eyes and not to breath it etc, but I'd feel bad if I didn't mention it.

I apply it to the undersides of plants while wearing a damp handkerchief over my mouth. Hit your plants every day for a week or so... It fucks up the mites. Of course a good cleaning of their hiding places will keep them from coming back.

Good luck.

Which one though! It's a family of acids.......Someone googled tetronic acid - :mrgreen:

Cool info isn't it!

"Hello, we're the acid family, I'm Hydrochloric and this is my wife Sulfuric. (reaches out hand for a shake) That long haired kid over there is our son, Blotter. Welcome to the neighborhood. "

I used to live next door to Blotter!
He still comes over to visit every cpl a months!

GREAT guy!

Tetronic acids belong to the class of 4-hydroxybutenolides that are characterized by a 4-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone ring.

Have you tried replacing the Habanero with a Ghost or even a Reaper or Scorpion pepper?

Cpl of the friends around here have, and feel it works even better/faster.......Yet I still wonder about the residual with pepper killers...

I haven't tried that, habanero has worked well for me. I can see where some others might do the trick though. Thanks for the tip.

I gave you the key and supplied the links.....at the other post. There is a Euro study linked there too. They are MUCH harder on testing then our gov. We could go on pasting cuts from papers for hrs. We'll each look for only our point and you really have none anyway. Your to lazy to look mine up your self, and I'm not your Mama, so holding your hand and walking you through it - isn't happening!

tebya ne ebut, ti ne podmakhivai,,,mudak
so you are still trying to say the stuff is harmless, when it is scheduled as a toxic substance......wow and u say im slow. Go drink a bottle of it, will make me no longer have to argue with u :)

They come out of the woodwork all too often when Forbid is mentioned!

He didn't have the mental capacity to figure out you can Google for tox reports - then quotes the one he favors, because I wouldn't take him by the hand and show him my self.

He didn't even figure out he can google the actual chemical name (Tetronic acid, one of a whole group of them - not the Bayer branded name) and find out even more!
Like it's an organic acid
It kills by blocking lipid fat absorption (same as insecticidal soaps) causing desiccation.
Can not be called organic because of the binder that's used to carry the actual acid....

One of those "don't use that ! it's a poison folks!" Didn't see him say anything about SEVIN earlier, and that's a "real" naughty insecticide!

Can't read a tox report for the concentrations used to test the mamilian tox responce either! The fact that those amounts are as high and higher then the concentraite being sold at the point of actually seeing any of the things he mentions...

Posts cuts from the fed. reports that are biased and over stated. Has NO real knowlege about the realities of the Federal labeling laws! He even listed Imid. in a post! With NO caution on that rather nasty insecticide! Neonictinoids (new ones for now) are NOT getting approval anymore by the Fed.! BAD JUJU!
u are so fucking stupid, i have said 10 times that there are many more dangerous chemicals than forbit, i just said that forbid is NOT HARMLESS AS U CLAIM, if u really believe its harmless please spray it all over yourself and drink it.

this may be effective at keeping an infestation at bay but you will never remove them all.

Pretty sure we were talking about Forbid, the bayer branded pesticide Spirodiclofen

"Spirodiclofen has been shown to have endocrine disruptive effects resulting in direct and indirect endogenously-mediated toxicological response. Testicular effects were observed in dogs, rats and mice, manifested as Leydig cell vacuolation in dogs, hypertrophy in dogs and mice, and hyperplasia progressing to adenomas in rats following chronic exposure. In female rats, increased incidence of uterine nodules and uterine adenocarcinoma were observed at terminal sacrifice in the chronic study. Cytoplasmic vacuolation in the adrenal cortex, accompanied by increased adrenal weight, was consistently observed in rats, dogs, and mice of both sexes."

https://www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/reg_actions/registration/fs_PC-124871_11-Aug-05.pdf

If it fucks up a dogs testicles i wouldnt call it harmless. I guess the Europeans have a different definition of harmless than the EPA.

What if I pass a law "no mites allowed", then they'll have to obey!
Are your plants in flower? How amny plants? How bad are the mites? Where do you live? Are they 2 spot spider mites?

I have a product that will deal with them but it cant be used in flower.

I think you may have intended your questions for the o.p. rather than me ?

I live in Sasquatchewan and my mites carry shivs.

Im in CA and our mites are literally immune to any pesticide u buy at a hydro-shop. I own a orchard and have a product only for the agricultural industry called Tetra-San that will destroy even the worst infestation. Its the only product ive found that works on resistant mites that have lived on cannabis for generations. It will kill even the shiv weilders.

During flowering is it safe to get that pepper mix on the buds?

Interesting. What makes Tetra - San so effective ?

I actually just found out its available to the public now, just retarded expensive. What makes it so effective is its a translaminar (penetrates the leaf so u cant miss any) ovicide and miticide, meaning it kills the eggs and mites thus killing the entire life cycle. The problem with products like AVID, Floramite, Forbid ect is they dont kill the eggs so u have to reapply multiple times to make sure u have killed them all and the new egg hatch lings. It only takes a mite or 2 to survive, lay hundreds of eggs and start the infestation all over with new mites that are resistant to the product you used.

It is made specifically to kill 2 spot spider mites, Tetranychus urticae is their biological name, so the product name means "Sans-Tetra", without 2 spot mites.
