  2. I would say yes you have spider mites BIG TIME, ive personally tried aza max its lyke 25 works okay but its kinda strong on tha plant a few days ago I heard about mighty wash it is amazing sprayed with tha lights off turned on 4 hrs later 2 hrs after that gone completly best part is its 99% water, I will not try any other product again. Mighty Wash brutha
     
  3. Your 4 days in, your best bet is to throw out your plants CLEAN everything and start over.Better now then 1month in right?

    Probably a better idea cuz it is only a few days old
     
  5. This does not look like mite eggs. If there were that many eggs on the leaves the leaves would be showing not just eggs, but also mite damage. It looks more like resin glands on the leaf. If your temps are high this could be the result as the plant tries to protect itself.

  6. If it was spider mites you would also see there webs under magnification. I see no webs in that pix its really hard to tell what it is as that pix just shows whitish dots with out enough detail to make a identification.

    The poster above me could be correct I cant tell from that. You need to determine what it actually is before you try to do something about it.
     
  7. Spider mites go under leaves tha spots appear on top from where they ate and attacked
     
  8. I agree most likely bites than eggs, can you send a pict of the underside?
     
  9. PW - U are absolutely right.

  10. You're all wrong. That's dandruff and you need head and shoulders my friend.



    But tbh, I'd agree with pointswest. Looks like you have the conditions to open your resin glands to help protect the plant. A good hint of this is how there are no white dots on the cotyledons, as they lack the glands.
     
  11. fukin bill nye over here. cotyledons lacking glands n shit. daium that was some brain cell having genius right there.
     
  12. Thank you guys so much...what a relief!!! Aloha!!!!
     
  13. i have mighty wash and it didnt work for me.. ive fogged, bleached the room, used neem oil and they are still killing the plants.. anyone know how to kill the eggs? cuz none of that stuff i listed has worked for me.. ive been growing for about 2 weeks.. got the clones from a caregiver that took advantage of the newbie grower. its gotten so bad im bein eaten up by these things and have to seek medical help for myself because i seem to be havin a bad reaction on my skin because of them.
     
  14. Mighty Wash aint strong enough (pyrethrins content).

    Get a Doktor Doom fogger (red can).

    Organic Pyrethrum. Good for use up
    to 14 dayz before harvest.

    It will clean up the plants and the growing space as well.
