  3. vinagar water mix?
     
  4. do i spray that on? or do i just water them with water and vinegar solution? and for around how long?
     
  5. Definite spider mite infestation.
     
  6. I dont know about the vinegar thing, but ive heard that you can use 1 part rubbing alcohol, 2 parts water mixture and spray it on them.
     
  7. spider mites, kill em QUICK!
     
  8. Neem oil mixed with a little dish soap works well. I used it recently on the mites. Takes a few applications to get rid of them. I caught it early though. Looks like yours got a good foothold on your ladies so it might not work for you
    Ive heard a lot of good things about a brand called SAFER that makes really good safe products you might want to try though
     
  9. spider mites m8 order some ladybirds will come frozen just defrost put in your growroom leave for a week then hover the ladybirds back up and put in freezer till u need them again:smoking:
     
  10. mite infestation

    Neem Oil ...2 table spoons per gallon of water & 2 drops of dish soap spray every 3 days for 2 weeks especially the leaf undersides
     

  11. wow man.
    your bullshitting about them coming frozen, and refreezing them to keep them alive, but you CAN actually buy ladybirds for your grow room.

    Adult Ladybirds and Lavae - Buy Online UK

    amazing.

    if i ever got aphids i'd definately buy some ladybirds to stand as trojans and fight for my plants. thatd be awesome. xD
     
  12. yeah you can buy them and they work IF you havent previously sprayed any pesticides in the grow room, they are sensitive little buggers
