Help! Mites on my buds

I found mites on my buds. How do I get rid of them

not much you can do during flower. i tried introducing 1000's of ladybugs and that didn't help. sprays work but i wouldn't on buds.

you'll get a little protein every time you smoke 'em.

when you get done with this grow, fumigate the hell out of your grow room.

OK this sucks.

yep.

were you at a fellow growers place or a grow store lately? i think i got my infestation from a grow store i visited and never cleaned up or changed clothes before i went in my room.

Theres not a whole lot you can do. I've heard of people using a vacuum to remove the mites. But i imagine after a few days they would come right back. Might eggs hatch in 3 days so you would just be slowing them down if it did work. Good luck on this problem though!! buy some bug bombs from lowes after this grow and nuke em.

mite** not might... still waking up.. -.-..

how soon til expected harvest?

they only eat leaves so the buds "should" be fine. they just get in every nook and cranny

About a week till harvest

I would just go through and remove what webs i could to kind of slow their progress until harvest. Take the leafs that are completely infested off carefully. They most likely came from outdoors. But who knows.

in veg. not towards the end of flower or you risk getting mold. i'd rather smoke mites. smoking mold can kill you.
