Oh no @NOOOBIENOT Yeiks spider mites.ok now that i have these little buggers how do i get rid of them ,i am a month in to flower
These seem to be the most common of pest insects that are found on Marijuana plants. How to identify them, and the products to use to kill them off or to control their population numbers has to be one of the most discussed problems faced by growers, especially indoor growers and especially-especially for those of us with perpetual grows. I suggest a lot of research and reading. At this point, it is probably best to read up on the Bud Washing techniques.ok now that i have these little buggers how do i get rid of them ,i am a month in to flower
OK man, what I do for spider mites, because I grow in grow tents, is I go to Walmart and buy those "No Pest Strips",Looks like mites, your options are probably Neem or Azamax. You can also have a look at the products from our sponsor @Sierra Natural Science if they are available in your area. When you're trying to get rid of them in veg there's a lot more options... I've never battled them during flowering but someone else will help I'm sure. Cheers.
If the no pest strips contain dichlorvos, (which most do) I would not use them. Dichlorvos is a carcinogen and leaves a residue on plants. It is not recommended for use on edible/smokable plants.OK man, what I do for spider mites, because I grow in grow tents, is I go to Walmart and buy those "No Pest Strips",
that you can hang around in your garage, or storage building, ect. I use eight for an 8 x 8 grow tent. So if your tent
is smaller, you can use less. So at the end of your daily light cycle, hang the "No Pest Strips" in your tent. Put some
fans to blow on them to dispense the fumes that come off the Strips. And close your tent up as air tight as you can
get it. What your doing is making a gas chamber out of your tent. You're starting at the beginning of your dark cycle
so you can leave the Strips in your tent for 12 hours, giving the fumes plenty of time to work. Also, spider mites like
it hot and dry, so sitting in the cool dark with a higher humidity helps kill the spider mites. After 12 hours, open your
tent and turn on the lights, and most, if not all the live mites will be dead. BUT, there's always a but isn't there. The
eggs will still be un-hurt. All you've done is kill the adults. So in about 3 days, you've got to do this all over again, to
kill the new mites that have been born. It takes a week and a half of doing this every 3 days to permanently get rid
of all the spider mites. I usually do this 4 times. The good thing is, you can re-use the same "No Pest Strips".
I agree. As effective as they may be, they leave toxic residue on your plants. Especially bad if this is a medical grow.If the no pest strips contain dichlorvos, (which most do) I would not use them.

So the carcinogens from the No Pest Strips are different than all the otherI agree. As effective as they may be, they leave toxic residue on your plants. Especially bad if this is a medical grow.
Why increase your carcinogen load, perhaps exponentially! There’s a reason it is not recommended! Your body, do what you want.So the carcinogens from the No Pest Strips are different than all the other
carcinogens you inhale when you
smoke pot?

Yes, a lot different. The No-Pest style strip gives off a man-made nerve agent that could have an effect on a human within a few days while the damage to a human's lungs from smoking pot might take as long as several decades of daily use to get to the same level.So the carcinogens from the No Pest Strips are different than all the other

Interesting analogy since the chemical was invented and developed as part of the gas warfare that took place during WW2.And close your tent up as air tight as you can
get it. What your doing is making a gas chamber out of your tent.
