Crazy about the mites, mine were the opposite. My buddy ended up with mites from putting in house plants with his bud plants. He had several sk1 plants going and a couple blueberry and the bb was covered and the sk1 didnt have shit for mites.

He actually left the bb in the room so the other plants could finish flower, fucking mites never left them alone till they finally killed the bb. Then all his other shit got devoured by the mite borg.
Everytime I've had mites they favor a certain plant or certain couple plants. Gotta be a flavor thing huh?

Knock on wood I only got them once, and it was from that same dude. Just going to his spot was enough for them bastards to hop a ride to my garden.

I bombed the with the old school TR bombs that actually worked. Then sprayed and dipped everything in neem.

But from what I seen at my buddy's, they loved that old school cut of bb as much as I did, lol.

I had NL5 and Silver Haze running with them and while they all had mites, the Sk1 would be tented over with webs, while the others would have light to moderate damage.
I would get bad mite infestations every spring back then, living in Seattle.
I lived next to the city tree nursery for the parks department and I think they would crawl over into my basement from there when it warmed up.
I would do a complete teardown, torch and replant each summer, then be good till the next spring.

Ya they're all over where I live. If you grow outside you're probably going to see them. You bring plants in from outside, well you get it. Hot, arid, high mountain desert climate. I do know they favor certain plants, not real sure what it is though lol.

Makes sense and jibes with what I've seen for sure.
If I was asked to provide a link I could find a couple of good edu links.

For what is below I'm not sure I can find where I read this it may have been that book about how plants feel hear and see lol if you guys know the book.

Anyway it can be compared to the animal world of natural selection.
Just like the big cat will catch the weakest or least smart prey in the herd and the rest pass on their genes.
Spider mites will attack the least healthy and tastiest plant allowing the other plants with stronger genetics to pass on their genes, natural selection.

That last pic looks somewhat like my old skunk #1 but it's been 16 years since I've seen it.
The color is right and the leaves look similar, outdoors the SK#1 would get extra leafelets sometimes 15 or 13 something like that, big leaves and green, green bud. Although I could never say for absolute sure if I ever ran the totally legit plant. Picked up mine in seed form in Buffalo visiting a friend, the guys plants were in high times, they were epic and so was the weed, He showed me a tape of himself in his garden, very cool, so I traded him some Purple Indica/Durban, new seeds and weed for both of us, Yeah buddy! Even then he was running His F2 or F3's who knows. Still it was one great plant, even in a little bit watered down form, this was around 93 or something like that, I'd come back to Michigan from Santa Cruz with the indica and durban seeds. That Purple Indica out there was the bomb, I don't know if that's what they are now calling Medicino Purps or what it was, it was blowing everything else away, even the humbolt skunk for a while. (fucking stoned and rambling)

Howdy Folks. Its been a wee while, been sick, wasn't growing for about a year, but happy to say I have the grow going, I had 3 Dessertbreath x Mimosa, 3 Honeystomper x Mimosa. With 3 H.S #2 a few weeks behind. I sexed the first 6 and got 1 female D.B x M. I was due some males out the seeds tbo but glad I popped a few Honeystomper #2's as a back up. The H.Stompers are still small seedlings, so I kept a nice looking D.B x M Male in with the lone Female to make some f2's.

Just glad to get the grow back
