Week 4 of flower. Grown in ocean forest and fed with hydroponics research line. Ran this way for 5 grows and no bugs until now. 20180820_192114.jpg After these white spots showed up the leaves started curling really bad on the infected plants. 20180820_193442.jpg

Predator bugs are a waste of time,as are ladybugs,your pretty much down to shopvac unless you wanna hit them with floramite or avid. Thats the only stuff that wipes them out in a timely manner.I always spray in veg(preventive maintenance) and haven't had mites in 20 years(in flower)

No webbing. Just a few small black looking bugs on the underneath of the leaves. The buds aren't too big as it's only week 4 and this is a 10 weeks strain so buds are just starting to swell. Would I be good spraying that on there?

It's a coin toss. You have to be very vigilant, target leaves/stems not bud sites as best as you can. There's a great chance you will lose your plants to these lil mfkers so IMO, it's worth a shot.

Alright. I seen reviews of the floramite and that said to use with avid for best results. I have a perpetual grow and already have e 6 Clones with 4 weeks veg in em. When do you start spraying them in veg?

How fast do these mites take over? They are on 3 out of the 6 plants. Any other tricks I could use? And would 6 weeks be enough time for the plants to naturally get rid of the floramite? Thanks

They are resistant and do spread kinda fast. I had them in a clone and then on all 4 of my indoor or plants within a month but inkynone wasn't strong enough to battle to the end f flower. I believe it has a lot to do with the strain as well

I used mighty by npk industries
It worked.
Applies it 3 times 2 weeks ago ( going om 2 weeks anyways)
Haven't seen any more damage, spots, or poop.
I was in week4 of flower
Sprayed it on heavily then again 2 days later .And once more just to be safe.
I was coming in ea h night to a new cola getting webbed up.
A week after i was sure i had no more mites I sprayed her off with just clean water 2 times kept fans going to try to combat mold. But at that point it was I'm gonna lose her to the mites so Fuckit may as well try.
Glad i did.
Took a sample nranch a week ago cause it bent over to the ground
After it dried i was all sketched out but no residue, no taste , didn't burn oddly.
I ordered another jug just to have on standby for IF it happens to me again.
I ALSOhabe the beneficial mites hanging out in there now( had to order more the mighty didnt discriminate and killed them as well) so if some DO make it in
And DO make it past the cucumeris then they get another dose of mighty
Hope any of that ramble helped bro good luck
