Well for the first time I have gotten some spider mites. I have it pretty bad with visible webbing on 5 of my 14 plants. I did some research on how to treat but can't find any of the recommended products locally. Seems like all the popular products used are only available in the states. Last night I gassed them with co2, not sure yet if it has done anything.

So what are the local guys doing to treat spider mite infestation? Anyone care to share the products they used and how many times they had to treat the plants before they got the issue resolves.

I am in week 2 of bloom and really want to try save this crop. Can I already assume that I am gonna yield way less and possible lose the entire crop to these little critters. There are 1000's in my room I bet so I need something strong.

thanks

your in canada eh?
You cant get azamax or azatrol or floramite or sns products or neem or pyrithran bombs or einstine oil or anything there?
Why dont you knock the webs w/ a vaccum hose or spray water on them and order some dank products on ebay or whereever, from the US?

week 2 of bloom, medical garden + webbing = cut 'em down and try again.

Get some 'Dynamite' from a place I will give you the name of privately (check you reputation comments)- it's actually florimite relabeled.

DON'T SPRAY IT ON FLOWERING PLANTS... consider this one a write off, and be better prepared next time. Never spray flowering plants with insecticides/biocides.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but if you are producing medical grade cannabis, there is simply no choice in the matter, and all other remedies are not going to work with that degree of an infestation this early in the cycle.

if you want a 100 % killer get the floromite and spray a weak solution 3 times a day ever other day for 3 days - an spray the piss out of them, and everything in the room.
other then that I would kill off and then do the same...

btw: these are easy to detect and keep out of a grow room, but all the same quarentine and spay all plants before you place them in the the holy'est of rooms your flower room.

I find upping the airflow as well as keeping the humidity around 40% helps to keep them under check if they are there, and out if their not, its an environment they do not like. Like Chimera says just chop em and write it off, clean everything down and spray with floramite to kill any little fuckers hiding out.

edit: by under control i mean one or two plants with a few mites in a 2 light room.

Hola mikeross

I used rubbing alchool 70%
straight from the bottle
works like a charms kill
eggs & adults on contact

Your best bet is to pass
them under the shower
to remove as much as
possible of the mites
let them dry up, then
mist them with the rubbing
alchool.

Two weeks into flower any neem based product is fine (Einstein is good and in Canada). Would not use more than once! as two weeks in is pushing it. Neem is fine to consume it is just bitter! So don't want that on nice sweet buds. Temps. Spider Mites love warm temps so keep the room cool if you can, no more than 22C. Safer soap works well on spider mites. Buddy had mights bad and used that two weeks before chopping them down. Just washed them with water and pot. bicarb. three days before and then just water right before chopping them. No residue. Even just water blast. If you are going to use water use potassium bicarbonate (available at wine shops) to prevent mold. One of my mates just blasted cold water every day before lights on and was able to save his crop.
