i have a plant infested with mites. actually many plants but just this one has these tiny red spots on it. i initially thought it may be another bug, maybe one who was going save my grow by eating all the mites. it's hard to see with my camera or a 10x loupe. what do you think?
this plant is about 6 weeks of flowering and i've tried neem oil, zero tolerance(smell is nice but disappointing), and soap at mild dosages. not working. they absolutly love these c99 crosses and i was gone for a few weeks and they got very established. some plants are not showing much damage and have them.
i'm at population control now cause it's too out of hand and i've got some plants later along that are close to harvest. im not comfortable soaking my plants in these products in late flower.
also.....i have 2 types of mites, orange ones and traditional black, grey ones. different shape. thought one might be thrips but i have empty blue stickys and spinosad,, nothing is flying around. anybody else have orange mites???
