Spider mites at flowering stage

EcoSmart can harm plants. Beware. Speaking from personal experience of spritzing with plain water, spraying down with EcoSmart, then power washing with plain water in a pump sprayer. It still hurt them terribly. Beware EcoSmart!

Wow. How stupid. Look dude, trics desolve in Alcohol! Water would work better. They are the easiest bug to kill. They drown in water. Use Neem Triple action and they will dissapear over night. Works every single time. Then use it before flower each time and in two cycles they will never show up again. Unless you walk them into your grow because you are a dirty beast. LOL.

:cry: I'm into about my last 2 weeks of flowering on my diesel ryder and caught spider mites. I've dealt with them before on my regular house plants. I've always use straight 70% alcohol in a spray bottle on with great success. I've never used it on a flowering of any type. So my question is, is it o.k. to spray the alcohol onto the bud or should it be diluted or should I not even spray diluted alcohol on it ? TIA

if i was you i would look up @Monster Gardens purecrop1 thread. Giving out samples and the reviews so far are really good. Able to use right up until harvest without diminishing the quality of your bud. speak to him in here he should be able to hook you up... Sorry for assuming your gender lol

gross neem on buds in late cycle. I wouldn't smoke that. The last two weeks, if you can you could reduce temps to below 60 f that would inhibit breeding, or use ladybugs, nematodes, or in fact, do nothing because it is the last two weeks, and you would have some bugs in your buds, not the end of the world.

Bang on about alcohol dissolving trichs.
