i know if i seen the pic that i just showed you and that person got rid of all them mites and still had a big yield of dank buds i'd do what they did....i tried 5-6 different things and the only thing that worked was neem to kill the mites, then rinse them, and let predators go....predators eat everything, mites, eggs, they go all over and when every last mite and egg are gone they die.
Ick said:T2U, I would doubt a W88 nuclear warhead could rid a mite infestation like that photo you posted. Ive never seen one remotely close to that disaster. When you see something like that, its time to rip it down and start over or move plants out, bomb room with strong chemical insecticides, clean plants with soap/water then neem...etc etc etc One look at that and you know mites/eggs are every where in the grow area, not just the plants
What im saying, if you have *some* (not thousands) mites treating with neem for 2-3 weeks will get rid of them. Neem is not a one spray ond day solution. Also, if you spray from the beginning of veg you *never* experience at nitemare like that. If I have to spray hazardous chemicals from dupont on my plants I certainly wont smoke them. Be pro-active
Time2Unite said:we were gonna just rip it down and start over...good thing we didn't because we ended up with just around 5 lbs. the mites were long gone and the plants survived and grew great after the neem and predator mites.
i don't understand how people want to try all these chemicals and other methods when you can release a beneficial bug and they eat mites and eggs...it's what they do...when every single egg and mite is gone they die from starvation.
