Hey guys I have some mites and I've been trying to control it but they keep coming back I've managed to not have any webs and the numbers are low but my leaves are covered in white spots luckily in this particular small area I only have 5 small plants only for seed production I have to be within two weeks from seeds being ripe and that's my only concern is harvesting these genetics which will be unbeliable but my ? I guess is as long as there are not hundreds or thousands and webs do you think my seed production will be effected I'm so close and my other crosses are way behind but the mites are naturally attacking my most prized gem

I remember when I was days away from the chop, and infested with mites. Not wanting to use chemicals I used straight water with just the smallest drop of dish soap to break surface tension. Mites do not like water. This will keep them down enough to keep the plant alive and allow your seeds to survive I think.

I love these mite threads......nothing like bad (well, poor) advice over and over. Go to one or two of the established mite threads here and read how many people over and over keep trying different products and they never seem to work completely, only to have the mites back again and again.........but the best answer is there, you just have to study up and find it.

Whats the deal with smoking spider mites lol all they eat is cloriphyll the green shit in the leaves and after a good cure that breaks down then all you got is the mites outer shell presuming he doesn't crawl away as it drys I dab all that shit u can't tell but I've notice the mites will infest the leaves and tend to stay away from the trichomb rich areas of bud lady bird beatles are as expensive as chemicals and will usually only control the problem but only with repeated release chemicals are about as effective as the lady birds every time I stop spraying they xcome back and this is because the entire issue is environment related do enough research and find out there are many species of spider mites and all prefer a different climate so Imo the best but most costly route would be to get total environmental control and tune it to rid your self of the mites but in the mean time spray what you can and and never spray flowers only use preditory insects to control the problem Ive used them to save a few crops
