What is it on the leave? I have never seen such thing. I haven't checked the plants since last 2 days and today I see this. Not all plants affected with this. Some of them have this only on their plants and some have completely including buds. It looks to me spider mites but not sure. Do you have any solution to this?

Do those Fortefog permethrin smoke grenades kill spider mites? I used one to take down a wasp nest. Shit was like Rambo.

Ok I ordered the Mighty Wash. Should be here in a week or so. Is it a good idea to spray the plants with pure water to drop the mites just to slow them down until i get mighty wash in.

Add a couple drop of natural soap to that water & it will help indeed.

This shit is a WAR! I battled thrip on an organic grow and it was dirty. Lower humidity and the plants will adapt, but the bugs can't. Pull weak leaves and check the back of your tent or room often. Unleash the ladybugs if they are available. Amazon ships them. Neem oil is good, but oils can burn the shit outa your plants and information on making the product burn safe is sparse.Talk to a pro at a nursery or grow shop. I will pinch infested leaves at first sight, and daily soap sprays are a must. Infested plants must be removed from the grow ASAP! Good luck.

I'd put one or two no pest strips in at lights out for a couple days with exhaust off. Up them in a baggie when not using. The mites are at high density with webs like that and you need to reduce em fast. They can't wait a week for the mighty wash .

the chems in the npstrips break down when they come into contact with water so once you spray them down the chem have been neutralized

Get some predator mites. As hard as you try after you spray whatever you choose it is almost impossible to get rid of every single one. Predator mites crawl around at their level and eat the spider mites, sometimes fun to watch. Just know that if you have touched the plant or been around it with your clothes they spread very fast.

Kill quick and keep a proactive attack, get some predator mites dont poor out on the plant put in a dish as the base, the wood chips that come with them are a pain to pick out of any buds.

* put a drop or two of dish soap in foliage spray. im a noob but that is a massive massive mite issue. it seems like its to late for that plant if the rest are not like that you might be smart to just trash it. and treat the others to contain it is the whole plant that way? what about the others?

Another nice option for the mean time to take care of the problem while you order spray or preds, is to shopvac the s.o.b's. Do you have a shop-vac? If the plant is strong enough hold the stem and place the shop vac on quickly then flip it off playing with the amount of suction to not rip the plant to shred. But a shop-vac is a awesome tool to suck up any mites and webs that are visible. Growing commercially you will learn a shop vac is a great tool, place the vaccum completely around the stem or branch and flip on and off the vaccum varrying the suction and voila.

I made a bottle of water with a few drops soap and sprayed all over the infected plants and around. I will do this everyday until my mighty wash arrives. I hope I can recover the plants. They look pretty and no visible damage but they are webbed all over. Thanks for support guys. I appreciate it.
