Something like spider web on plant

oh-la-la · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2006, 01:33 AM

Hi guys
I have a week 4 flowerig plant undering 400 HPS. It's growing bud nicely but there are alot of white, yellow harsh on the leafs. It started from the buttom but now seems like all the leafs having the same problem. I rub paper towel over the leaf and it came off with yellow tar (no smell) Also something looks like spider web all over the buds. Please help me out!
Thanks

wow brother..looks like a spider mite infestation to me..better get some neem oil and spray those ladies, they'll kill what's left in no time flat. You'll also want to sterilize evrything in your grow room and evrything you use in there. a weak bleach water will do the job nicely..The key is keep spraying them even if you think they are gone.. They are vicious and it can be extremely taxing on your nerves dealing with them..good luck dude

rye is right. it looks like you've got them bad too. looks like a couple things going on. lucky for you your buds are still pretty small. you don't want to getting buds wet. you could get mold. i'd run out and get a no pest strip, maybe more if you have a big grow area. get some neem oil and spray the plants down, drench them. don't forget under the leaves. you want them dripping. i'd let them soak it up for about 15/20 minutes. get a fan and turn it on the plants and let it help the neem dry up. even though your buds are still small, mold could happen if you let it just sit there. turn the pots if you have to so it dries up or evaporates. hang those no pest strips up around the room while your plants are drying. that may take care of things but you really need to keep your eyes peeled for those things. i'd try and remove as much as i could first with a q-tip or something. maybe even pull the plants out of there for a few hours and set off a bug bomb and close the door. good luck!

Thanks for a quick respond. I went to a local garden shop and bought a can of organic spray " Safer Housplant Insect Killer" and sprayed it all over the plant and just handwah with warm water. Would that do the job? How should i sterilize the grow room, just use bleach water???
This is what i got

you don't need to sterilize the room. you need to poison the bugs. i'd go with the fogger/bug bomb. very effective and quick.

the best method is to mist the planets lightly an hour or two before placing whatever household spiders you can collect into your grow

they'll set up camp near the top by the lighting but you'll quickly see how much they like to eat small critters on your plants

just keep an eye out when you look in as to avoid a bite ...daddy long leg spiders (not daddy long legs) are common enough and will solve your problem if you're a badass wolf spiders are mean motherfuckers lol they will hunt on your plants picking off every living thing aside from the plant

Hey if u want to get rid of them then listen to grow bot and get some NO PEST STRIPS.But it is very toxic stuff so be careful when handling this shit one of the main ingreadiants is a nerve agent that kills bugs dead.Leave it in the room and keep it there you can spray with oils lotions and potions but you have to spray each and every bug and for every one bug u see there is thousands u dont see .Not only did spraying with oils and soaps not work for me it just got those mites pissed off and they came back with a vengeance.So gas those fuckers with no pest strips end of mites

NOPEST STRIPS work by using a toxic nerve agent. An agent which will get on your buds. You will be smoking said buds. I'm not a doctor, but it seems bad.

I'd say your safest option now is the Safers and washing, as it looks like you are close to harvest, and Neem oil, while effective, sticks and tastes horrible. When you chop it and hang it to dry, all the remaining mtes will scramble to the highest point, and here you can exact revenge by burning them with a lighter.

Love it.

most funnelwebs like to bite and ask questions later
