spider mite

[Craig_150059]

hi, im new here so not sure if this is the wright forum or not, anyway..... i have a 4pot auto feed system, soil, and i have around 4 weeks left of flower and just found some spider mite. could anyone tell me the best way to go about using a hotbox sulfume to get rid of them before they destroy my babies ( borrowing sulfume from a friend) as i no its too late to spray them with anything. any advice would be much appreciated!!! thanks, craig

Whats sulfume?

 

[paladin420]

And who is the mother fucker? Us or the mites?

Try mighty wash. Don't forget to rinse

The mights..... Little fuckers already spinning webs! And sulfume hotbox, it's a sulfur vaporizer. And we can't get mighty wash here in uk I don't think, tried ordering some of amazon USA but won't allow it to be shipped here.

I'd never sulfur my buds..

Cheers m8, will have a look. We struggle in the uk to get a lot of things, I imported a couple of no pest strips from the u.s but didn't seem to work

Mighty wash is easy enough to find over here,think i got some off ebay but quite a lot of hydro stores sell it.

You could also try ivermectin,think it's used to treat mites in pigeons.Good thing is that it it evaporates in hours and is not systemic like the other mectin's.

Thanks. Is ivermectin a spot on thing? Just found some on amazon but there's a few different things, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001UASTVQ/ref=mw_dp_mpd?pd=1 that's the stuff I found, is it wright stuff?

craig 150059 just get some neem oil and insect soap and mix water in spray bottle with one teaspoon of neem oil and 1 teaspoon of insect soap shake up and apply directly where the infestation is by spraying on to concetrated areas. This should get them to stop breeding asap

I agree with Neem oil, spray those bitches!

How Did Your Plants get the Mites?

How Did Your Plants get the Mites?

I am also new to this process and I am curious so I know what to stay away from. Were your plants outdoors? Was Your soil contaminated or from a non bag location? How can you tell if the mites are there... meaning can you see them without digging through the soil?

Thanks every one. I ended up using a sulfume hotbox for 3 days. Got rid of them all no problem. And my plants were indoors but I think I got them from a friend who had been near his own crop which we later found out already had the little fuckers. The skunk tasted perfect and smoked a treat. No taste of sulfur at all. Would recomend it to any1. £85 to buy them like but deffo worth it. Thanks again. Craig.

And they can be seen quite easily through a micro scope. Or just look for webbing. Or the leaves start getting brown patches.

I used to give Ivermectin to my dog to kill fleas and ticks lol
