Need Help !!

so i took 10 clones from my girls i just put into flower. walk into the closet to spray the clones with water and when i mist them i see 1 - 2 little tiny webs stretching from 1 clone to the next, i peeled all the webs away and soaked the place with water, washed out the dome and the tray and dont see any webs now. The big plants that are 9 weeks in have no signs of webs (sprayed them immediatley after discovering the clones) to check. I have a few questions. Are spider mites the only pest that spread webs? does Ladybug spray work? or should i just buy 1500 ladybugs off amazon for 10 bucks and hope that they aren't more annoying then spider mites? im scared!! lol help me please. Do i have mites for sure? is it eventually going to spread to the main grow if i dont take action like guaranteed going to screw me ?

It's probably mites. Get a loupe and check underneath all the leaves for eggs.

I was reading up on Neem Oil Extract, Does this work well?

never had to use it myself but a couple of growers I know do need it(1 far to often!) they're happy enough with the results but it stinks and if it's close to harvest you'll taste it
there is the possibility that it's a spider, I had a spider-bro doing it for a while, he looked awesome perched between 2 plants

TSSM are notoriously hard to combat. Neems not all that effective once you have them. Many people end up going the Avid or Forbid route. Like Pin says do your research. Good luck.

Is there a difference in species of spider-mite between Northern America and Europe? (wiki tells me there are different species some listed as world wide others not listed)
Would that affect the effect of neem oil and insecticides?

i have no clue, i bought 150 lady bugs, and a bottle of neem oil extract, at the first sign of infestation i am going to release the beast! hahah thanks for the help guys, feel free to continue to discuss i will keep checking up on this post. it could possibly be a normal spider, however i couldnt find the culprit behind the web. i wish i knew what created the web, none the less i peeled the webs away and sprayed all the plants.

I think it might have been a normal house spider. None the less, i already have the neem oil extract and the lady bugs are on the way to me, im gonna release the ladybugs in my outdoor garden on my tomato plants and peppers and if i ever need them they will be in my yard to collect hopefully go trailer park boys style outside with bubbles diggin up lady bugs for the trailer grow and the dope clones. hahaha

I've found a couple small jumpin spiders make a home in my plant before

Pirate bugs, Lady bugs and Green Lacewings are all-purpose predators and will all eat spider mites, but there are mite predators what will decimate spider mite populations much more quickly... and they breed twice as fast as the spider mites do. The predators will eventually die from starvation when the spider mites have all been eaten.

Phytoseiulus persimilis can handle temps that range from 55-105+ F and can handle humidity ranging from 55-90%.
Neoseiulus californicus can handle temps that range from 55-90F and can handle humidity ranging from 60-90%.
Mesoseiulus longipes can handle temps that range from 55-105+F and can handle humidity ranging from 45-90%.

All of these mite predators need humidity within their respective ranges to breed and reproduce.

For serious mite infestations, use Mite Destroyers. They are able to fly around the plant looking for colonies to devour. Mite Destroyers will attack and eat all stages of mites.

There is also a predatory midge used in the fight against spider mites called Feltiella acarisuga. The adults fly around the plants and lay their eggs in the mite colonies. After the eggs hatch, the larvae seek out and devour the mites. Feltiella acarisuga midges may also be used in low humidity environments with no problems whatsoever

The coolest thing about using Neem oil is the fact that it will not kill beneficial insects... even if those same beneficials eat insects infected with Neem oil. Neem is also honey bee safe.

Good luck with this issue.

let us know how it goes with the ladybugs, some species can eat between 20-50 times there own body weight in a day, so it's interesting to see how effective they could be
As mentioned already getting an eye loope is essential, they're like magnifying monocles and are must have when it comes to pest identification

like a jewelers loupe? or do they make a special one i can order with better magnification? where and how much can i get a camera for, that zooms in and can take pictures of the trichomes and different pests n critters? Also, i think it was a normal house spider cause no webs have came back, i found a problem with my pH, my pen's calibration was off, i was running at about 6.7 pH now im down around 5.9 to avoid locking out key nutrients, and the plants are thanking me for it.

A jewlers loupe is perfect and cheap enough, there are some nice magnifying glasses that have built in lights with them which can be handy for judging trichs etc., I've seen people recommend 60x-100x which I think is over kill, I find a 10x is fine
have a search on the forum there's a few reviews of the different ones out there, basically you don't need to spend a sh!t ton but don't buy the cheapest thing going
