somoz at that stage of mite infestation, you no longer get more resin, nor do they ripen up properly. in fact the longer he waits at this stage the more bud weight he will lose. the nets over the tops suffocate them and stop normal progress.
as long as he doesn't go to the mother plant room, he will not bring them over. in fact didn't Palindrome say he had mites in the veg room already? in that case they will have to be dealt with anyway.
there are different ways, but i would either use vertimec, or take as many clones from each mother as you need and dunk them in a pyrethrum or better yet vertimec mix. and set them to rooting. meanwhile kill all the left over mothers. when the veg room is empty and totally clean bring the dunked clones back in and start fresh. once the clones are rooted give them another dunk at transplant. mites are not such a problem in this day and age, there are ways to deal with them. routine dunking of new clones being planted into the setup is essential for a clean start. that way even if they should somehow appear later on in the grow. it's normally too late for them to do much damage, beyond sucking a few fan leaves yellow. and if they should appear before week 3 of 12/12, why then vertimec is the only solution. you do need to sign for it as its in a poison category. but thats nothing say its for a green house or what ever. it might not even be so strict in some places.
anyway hope all is going good Palindrome, hopefully you have got it all done by now...

get @ those webs with a q-tip, they stick to themselves, and it all comes right off easy....
Them bud's underneath will be fine, mebbe a touch less weight, but the webs come off and all will still smoke fine!

Thanx for all the replys!
I express harvested the worst plants and removed the worst of the dry leafs and hang em for drying, they will be turned into hashish as they are.
Then I harvested all the top colas and trimed em up, but as I did not have time to take the whole crop down before I had to drive cross country and get to work monday morning. I will have the rest of the harvest this weekend, a few friends are coming by to help and if there are anything left we will trim it. The rest and the bad looking plants will go into the freezer along with the rest of the material for hash makeing, the yeald is already way down and I'll be happy with what ever I get.
After harvest I will remove everything in the grow rooms, in my flower room I will have to remove my grow estup anyway for putting up the cooltubes. Then I can remove the old carpet in the room and maybe get a vinyl floor put in too, then I will bleach all the empty rooms twise, spray it with fungicide and finaly I'll run it over with fungicides.
The clones will be dipped into a Floramite SC, indicate and stirup mix or something, I had it sent over from a friend in the US as it's not legal here yet. Then they are placed in the new clean room after the dipping, becarefull not to soak the RW cube or root's of the clone in pesticide mix as it will most likely kill em. 3-4 days later I will spray the room again just to be shure, that way anything that might survied the first time will be taken care of forshure.
I have had great success with this at a friends place, he had been fighting mites for 1½ year. I got this stuff home and he was mite free in 7 days as I was promised by the guy giveing it to me. Floramite SC rox but in EU it's hard to get hold on, I had my problems atleast. Besides it's pretty ekspencive to import illegal pesticides just to have em taken in custom, because it's not aproved in your country.
I'll be back with some pic's and a update on the progress, but atm im not even home so I can't really say how bad it is right now.
Stay safe every one

yeah, legal in the Us, but not in California.....We have to order from avross state lines, or go t oregon to pick it up....
Floramite is interesting because it systemic not topical.....it is said to have a life of 45-50 days after application, so as long as you use it around the time of 12/12 flip or within the first week, it will have degraded down to a "safe" level for human consumption of the final product by harvest time..... I like the idea of it, but if the entire EU is banning it and the *slightly stricter* legislation in california about said product. Is it something that I even want to use? sure it works,.......but at what cost?

EU is not banning it as far as I know, it's just still in the lab's getting tested. No offence but there are alot more strickt ruels here in EU about pesticides and alot of other stuff, then compared to the US and it's to proteckt us agains shit we might not know the long term effect on.
So it have good and bad sides, like I would like to kill my mites with it. But what if they find out that if you eat tomatoes sprayed with this, you will risk your sperm count dropping to a lvl u don't wanna or what ever you can think of. Not saying that it will do that, but there could be a sligt risk of long term damages ect. ect. Like DDT and bird eegs.
So atm. Floramite SC is getting tested in labs, as far as I know it's made in Holland. But you can't buy it here yet. Tho you can buy it in most of the US then, maybe not in cali but in other states. kinda wierd IMO that a dutch pesticide have been greenlabled in the US before EU have greenlabled it, but as I said I belive alot of stuff in the US is put out on the market long before they even know the long term effects.

Guess it's coz 2 of my fans broke for air movement below the canopy and above.

Howdy all
I have spend lot's of time cleaning up my mite infection and had a bunch of cooltubes to setup.
Yes I always change the room from grow to grow
So this post will be a Continual on my "How to Fuck up a rental place", started in my thread Instand Erection and im gonna continue with it here.
First I removed the small kitchen (pic's from Instand Erection thread)
Then I "killed" the bathroom giveing room for a mother room, I lost the pic's or can't find em. I'm anyway not really done with that room anyway, just removed the toilet and a small wall to give rome space for a bubbler in the middle of the room.
Back to the Flower room!
Due to the heat problems I had this summer I finaly got myself some aircooled hoods and Cooltubes, pic's of that should be in the thread already. Then I had my mite infection and I desided to wait untill I havested and cleaned out good, before I would start doing more changes to the room.
The carpet on the floor was removed and trashed, everything was removed and the room was washed down. Desinfected all rooms with bleech and fungicide, Sprayed all rooms and my mothers and clones with a Pesticide mix of Floramite, Indicate and Stirr-up.
When the rooms where clean and safe for me to work in, I stared fucking up this place some more. Exhaust and indtake holes are needed in the wall before I can setup my Cooltubes, for now I only have made one hole in a thin wall.
I ran on a problem with the 2nd hole as the wall is 1 foot concreat there and I realised my cheap power drill and chisle, would never get me tru that wall on this side of christmas. So I guess I got to rent a power chisle or something, that is made for pokeing holes in 1 foot concreat wall's.
There are 1x 600 Watt HPS in each Cooltube, but im out of new bulps. I had 2 bulps laying around but they turned out being broke when I found em, dunno what happend to em as they look fine and they have are brand "new". I got them a long time ago, but they have been keept with all my other bulps and the 400's are fine.
Anyone ever expiriance something like this?
First I thourt it was my ballasts that was fryed, but I tested all lights with a working bulp and they lit up fine.
Im pulling around 530 m3/h air thru the Cooltubes, they keep cool enough that you can put your wrist against the glass and hold it there. Don't know if it will keep that cool when all 4 lights are on, but anyway it seems effective enough to me.
Now the aeroflow just need to be filled with some clones and it's take off again, im just gonna put that setup for now and run 2x 600 Watt untill I get a new box of bulps.

Today Im gonna fill the Aeroflo with Afghani #1 clones, it's all I have ready and I did'nt harvest more then a hndfull Afghani buds at my last harvest.
So im right now rolling my wake and bake, then i'll maybe have breakfast and start dealing with the clones after that. Anyway all thats on the schedual is plant clones and apply floramite to all my rooms and plants again.

3 days veg
3 days veg
The Clones look great, a little pale green but im shure they will recover and grow healthy green prety soon. Im still starting them up easy and getting the nutrients and pH lvl as I like it, but I prefer to do it slow here in the begining as I think the affy is a big fragile in the begining and I have had trouble with getting it to veg in a good rate in the begining.
When it get's bigger it catches up a great deal, but untill it's setled in the setup I go easy on em with the nutrients.
NPK 14-3-23 + micro and H2Po4 as pH down
Ecc: 1150
pH: 6.2
I don't have any mother plants at the moment, I got some sorry ass revegin Pine O plants and im gonna take some fresh cutting of pine O and affy here to make new mothers from em asap.
So far it looks like the mites are gone, but I'll keep looking for em a long time I belive. But im too ready to get this party getting on it's feet again, for now im stuck with veg and waiting to take new cuttings. A friend told me his new lighthouse keeper killed of his 80 clones and he would be very happy if I could help him out soon, so I'll veg this 28 plants and take a bunch of clones for me and my friend. Then they will most likely need a bit more veg and then i'll switch em to flower, gonna take a long fucking time before the next harvest and im guessing sometime after christmas. Bad Bad Bad timeing, but what the fuck I'll have some nice affy in 2007 LOL

howdy somoz and B is me, nice of you guys to drop a line. Glad u liked the reading B is me, always nice to get a reply on your shit.
The plants look more or less the same still, not much happening yet.
So I'll just post some new titty shots from this morning, dunno about you guy's but I never get tired of takeing pic's of tittys and put em on the net.
Damn it was a ncie night out yesterday, was at a heavy metal concert for the first time in many many years. Some friends invitted me along and I desided to go along, to my surpryse the music was prety cool and the show was nice. Deffently to loude, but maybe it's me being to old!
I remeber a T-shirt I had as a teen punk rocker saying "If this is too loude, your too old!"
