spider mites

[1st Timer]

That sounds like a good safe method as well. I do have one question though, what happens with the eggs they lay under the leaves? Do the eggs just get eliminated by virtue of the fact that all the living spider mites are up on the pest strip, so no more eggs? It just seems like you would have a second wave of bugs. Either way though, if you got those right away, I guess you would have them ALL dead. I like your method even better than mine, assuming it works, because it is the least invasive of all. And the least messy.

Magic has the answer... worked for me when NOTHING else would... including neem oil, ladybugs... predators... BANG... and SMC.

I lost a lot of time... and plants jacking around with the other bullshit... IF you have mites... get rid of them NOW... you dont have time to establish colonies of predators, etc... go buy no pest strips from your local hardware store.

They work... under 10 bucks.

they breath in the chemical from the no pest strip i think its dicosomething or other and they die end of story one nite all of them dead 3- 4 days later do it again and all the babies are dead.spider mite breath through there skeleton dicloris or whatever it is is deadly since mites have no lungs or fillter system.a lot of people wont use the no pest strips truth be known they dont have to be in your room long and they are the most efective thing that i have used to date.peace magic

depending on where you live it could be SMC leaf wash or Spidermite Control...

I cant tell you the ingredients...i forgot. I'll find out and let you know. I do know that it works great for controlling spider mites and is totally safe.

fyi these are exact knockoffs of sm-90

Alright Magic 3, I'm with you on the no pest stips. Now I remember from OG or awhile back the talk of the no pest strips. That sounds like a winner! I will get some right away. How close to your plants do you place them?

so i picked up this organic spider mite spray stuff. forget what it's called but it's got cottonseed oil, clove oil, and garlic oil in it. it says it'll kill and repel spider mites. it says to apply once every 7-10 days so i'll spray them again in a week. i also got some SMC leaf wash too in case the spray doesn't work

Have never seen a pest since using it.

fyi these are exact knockoffs of sm-90

exact ingredients...right on l\l!tr0u$!! thanks for the info

looks like when you break it down...they cost the same per mil of diluted solution too. The SMC is a bit higher, but by less than a fraction of a penny per mil.

it is nutrient related...but you are doing all you can by flushing. Even if they were perfectly happy you would be flushing now, so don't stress.

[Guest]

[sunnyside]

i cant answer you questions on if it will be ok. I have no clue I would flush now until you cut her, which is determined by trichome color. Do you know how to tell when a plant is done? As far as the toxicicity/defeciency...I dont know. Could be magnesium, but I don't have a great eye for that (yet). I don't know if he is still posting around here, but you can pm a guy named MynameStitch he is just the man to answer your question.

You can also check out the The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles! :, it is a pretty comprehensive guide, put together by MnS
