MITES!!!wtf

[Buddernugs]

Scoped my girls with a 60-120x microscope..... i got hit with mites by the looks it’s broud mites and spider mites I’m about 4 weeks into 12/12 what can I use on them or should I just say f*** it and start over after I nuke my tent

 

[Buddernugs]

Only have 2 plants

Spinosad and bt are 2 safe bacterial agents you can use in flower. Rotate between them at 3 day intervals for 2 weeks. Be sure to add bt to your watering or feeding.

Both are generally considered safe to use in flower, although some people will yell that isn't true.

Btw, it's best to establish an ipm routine in veg, then you can coast through flower.

 

[Buddernugs]

Ipm?

 

[Buddernugs]

Also what’s bt?

 

[greg nr]

IPM is integrated pest management. It's a process where you proactively treat for bugs in order to avoid problems in flower.

BT is bacillus thuringenious. Here is what I use: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007UTE55A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can get it in powder form as well.

Spinosad is in products like monteray garden spray and captain jacks.

I got some mighty wash and used half a quart on first dose

Easy, take your plant into your yard, lie them down, attatch a hose sprayer to your garden hose....Set it to Shower and blast your plants under the leaves, then spin your plant and blast, spin the pot and blast...Just make sure branches are supported or the weight of the water might snap them..

I been doing it this way for decades, no chemicals, clean your tent and put them back...

I grow outdoors and I do this for plants deep in flower too


if you are unable to lie the pot down put a garbage bag over the soil to prevent saturation, stake the branches up and spray, i use gloves in this situation else you get sticky hands

Unfortunately I can’t do that I live in a bad state and also my plant is stuck inside my tent

 

[Buddernugs]

She’s going to go hit 5 weeks of 12/12 in 2 days I feel like she’s under developed I hope the mites didn’t get to her I killed off the other plant I had I. Their every bud site was dead and starting to rot didn’t see any new pistoles in days so I said fuck it not guna take the chance and threw her in trash

 

[Buddernugs]

I will keep that in mind for next time it sounds like it would be very effective for thous little bastards

HHHMMM. That's messed up. I'd avoid using the wire rack for trellis next time. Created an issue can pinch stems as they thicken. As for the mites. I personally would rent an electric garden fogger. Wash, rinse and flush the P out of it. Use neem oil and organic soap. Shut everything off in the tent. Give the inside a good fogging through an access hole. Let it sit for an hour and then restart everything. And cover your lights and filter with some plastic.

Ya I regret useing that now lollipoping is next to impossible and watering is a bitch...... damn I don’t think I can bring myself to killin CB her off

Use a pyrethrin product suitable for plants, like mighty wash. That will keep them at bay, not eliminate them. After your first application of pyrethrin hit them with neem oil, spray the entire plant down, it's an anti-feedant that will discourage the mites from eating and reproducing. Some will say neem will make the buds nasty tasting but I've never had any issues. U can also burn sulfur, they dont like that at all, though it will stink up your house.

After you harvest bomb the room with a product that says "kills for 3 months" and contains something that kills eggs, I use flea bombs in my growroom between harvests. You can also use avermectin sold under the name AVID to spray on young plants before they flower, its nasty stuff and u need to use a full tyvek painters suit with booties, gloves, and a gas mask.

It is a powderized desiccant that will remain in your buds. Do you want to smoke that?

Why don't you just drink the chemicals? Please read about the effects of horticulture chemicals on living organisms. Hope you don't share. You're poisoning people. "FLEA BOMBS!!"

Powdered desiccant? Wtf r u talking about? Might wash is a liquid pyrethrin, neem oil is just that, an oil. Sulfur is not a powdered desecant either, its sulfur, when used in a burner it becomes a vapor that coats your plants, which they will eventually absorb as a nutrient, because sulfur is a nutrient and its essential to the health of plants. Growers of all types or greenhouse plants have burned sulfur for decades.
If u actually read what I wrote u would see that I said 'after u harvest bomb the room.'
Never did i suggest bombing a room with plants in it.
R u drunk or high?

Burning Sulfur while your crop is flowering is not advisable.

Sorry to insult your ignorance. Google the substances and their manufacturing process. Inquire at any pest control service. And the bombing thing? It's called residuals. Get a clue or stop promoting cancer and genetic mutations. So you can read. Every try reading up on what you just read? I honestly want to help you help yourself. And your arrogance is helping noone.
