fuck no not "pesticide" anyway you're going to burn and inhale this smoke! try neem, castille or ivory clear, distilled water etc you're going to probably get lots of different suggestions biggest key is prevention...you probably brought in the critters on your clothes or person, shower before entering your garden room if you can and wear clean clothes can also try rosemary oil (food grade, 20mL), ivory clear dish soap (30mL), distilled water (1L), shake and spray; repeat in 3 days and 1 week, continue to monitor and spray as needed neem and rosemary aren't toxic and don't leave super harsh residues on your plants only use the highest quality oils you can get search the boards, spider mites come up all the time
wouldn't use it personally i like the oil/soap/water combo, it's pretty effective and very safe you need to drench everything, really spray well especially undersides of leaves again...you're going to ignite and inhale the residue of whatever you spray on your plants, don't use harsh shit unless you HAVE to
spraying buds is always a risk, but buds full of webs kinda sucks keep your humidity down, increase your ventilation, consider upping temps for several hours until dry spider mites don't fly or jump, they crawl if ONLY one plant infected (doubtful), keep other plants away there are products you can line the rim of your pots with that make them slippery and hard for mites to crawl into the pot, if plant leaves don't touch, you can possibly limit the spread usually though, you see em and fuck -- it's too late, they're everywhere or at least not worth the risk to not treat you can spray neem almost right up to harvest, you won't taste it in your smoke i personally don't like the smell and rosemary oil is bomb shit too sold as S-N-S 217 for way to much money, make your own
I'm having pretty much the same problem right now and I'm in my eighth week of flowering. I didn't notice them, and then all of a sudden they were everywhere a week ago or so. I already sprayed insecticide on it quite a bit so I don't know if I should even smoke what comes out now. What do you think? There are still mites on there I'm pretty sure but there are definitely webs on there a little bit. It sounds like its pretty screwed and I should just start a new plant.
i heard 1part rubbing alcohol mixed with 4parts water and a drop of dish soap works great??? my plant looked to be showing early signs of mites, so i tried it.. the mixture evaporated pretty quickly.. after 20mins i misted again with just water.. hopefully it will work and not harm my plant.. anyone know much about this method?
Just don't use anything toxic. People are going to inhale this stuff so don't do anything that would put your health at risk.
Northern Cali, Doktor Doom pyrethrum foggers can be used on vegetables up to 1 day before harvest. Pyrethrum is an extract made from chrysanthemum flowers and is the active ingredient in these foggers. The foggers are supposed to be set off 3 hours into the dark period so they have time to do there job. If the pyrethrums are exposed to light, the miticide degrades quickly. IMO, they are the safest foggers to use and will not affect your smoke. I've included a label for you to view and you can research further on the web. HTH chunk
I guess you need a green light to go into the room after 2 hours and turn all of your ventilation back on or your room will be dripping wet in the morning? Right?
