Spidermites during Flower

[Zeez]

Have you looked at the critters under a scope to make a positive ID?

Mite Damage

Yup.
Two Spotted Mites. Pure evil

It's salvage-able and it is a lot of work.

If you have to use chemicals stronger than Safer's soap, it's not worth it.

A dip tank with Safer's is more effective than spraying the Safer's.

3 weeks into 12/12 is about the latest I would attempt a Safer's remedy. Not wanting to smoke soap.

So far the plant may only have 1% of its final pistils.


LADYBUGS & more LADYBUGS.

Even better than Safer's.

How do you use it?

you spray it its very simple

So yesterday I released Neoseiulus (= Amblyseius) californicus about 1000 of them in both my veg and flower tent, they say to release about 4 per mites per plant and I released something like 40 per plant. they eat spider mites in every phase so hopefully that will do the trick. I'll probably re-apply them in about two weeks. If anyone wants further information.

So how did the neo. Califorinus work out, did you apply anything else to your plants when they were on them. I'm in the exact
same boat, applied the californius at bout week 4. can't find any info if they can stand a dollar application of a soap and traditional oil. Hope they are all your spider mites. Shipping g sure is high on these bugs.
