Harvested them today hanging them in my closet
Nice thick colas Avanash. What strain is that? The still potted ones you dipped, no way can you inspect and remo0ve mites away. Looks so Sativa except for the short branching inter-nodes. Outdoors? Mites outdoors???
My own mite inspections every other day probably should be every day in last week until harvest as I found mites had halo'd one top cola in webs as I brought it out to inspect. I looked up to see the silouettes of 25 adult mites lounging in their web hammock on top of my main cola ! ! ! S H I T ! ! ! Lost at least an ounce of fine tasting bud. Two days before I failed to see deep inside the colas of this smaller skeletor plant of OG Kush with nice tight buds. So risky going with any crop with even one single mite. The not taken over OG Kush's have 2 or 3 days more until harvest and Scarlett Johansson's need 3 to 6 days more until fully cloudy.
Vegging1/2 Gallon pots are being inspected every 2 days and taking longer and longer to inspect as they get bigger. Last 6 every other day inspections of these vegging plants in a different area under two 400W Equal CFL's yielded:
clean,
clean,
clean,
UNCLEAN x1 adolescent mite, still round with 6 legs Vs. 8,
clean,
UNCLEAN x 1 young adult 8 legged.
This is my only chance to get to 0 mites before flowering starts. I best start DAILY inspections. If I cannot get rid of them, they SHOULD NOT BE FLOWERED. Hmmm. Prevention Vs. cure? If I could see where they were coming from, I could win this battle. I assume I carry them in as I enter under a tree that may be infected, or that eggs are "Over-Wintering" while temps in the 70's (F), and hatching much later than the usua 3 days after attached to a leaf. They can be anywhere, but the small crawling round eggs with 6 legs are so slow. They must find a plant before they starve. If only some light source would fluoresce mites. Blacklight LED flashligh is only good for seeing how much pee you are splashing around the toilet and for bed bugs.
