Got mites. Need help with identification/treatment please!

I can tear a phonebook in half. I learned how as a little kid from a street magician in Myrtle Beach, That's not actually a strength thing, there's a trick involved, you just have to know how to tear it properly


There's a lot of things like that tbh. Maintaining mystique = profit on most things lol

Where the hell were you in early spring, dammit?!?

Don’t need the paper towels and such, SOAK them bishes top and bottom, don’t worry about it running off, just spray the chit out them until saturated without any doubt! I looked at the soap, I’ll just stay with the Deadbug concentrate.

Right on brother. I made sure to get 2 bottles and am ready to get more as needed, so I'll shower my plants and murder these little bastards.

Well, I went with Deadbug anyways. Will be doing a thorough rinse down of the plants with water in the sink to knock off some of the adults, covering the soil with plastic wrap to avoid them just ending up back on the plant, and then will treat with Deadbug, using paper towels and cotton swabs to get the nooks and crannies. Also doing a deep clean of the tent and surrounding area while the lights are out, and will be taking extra precautions from now on.

Will report back with results.

dead bug will set ya straight.

Will also reiterate the Doc's post about soaking them top and bottom, soak til dripping. Make sure you get everything. Everything. And clean your environment.

Not all too rare a newer grower thinks he's (or she's) good after treating several times, flips to flower a few days later...... then after a week, uh oh, are those mite scabs?

Believe me, my fiance and I are about to wage war against these mites. The plants will be vigorously rinsed and then treated, including top soil and all around the pots. The tent will be scrubbed in-and-out. The immediate exterior environment will be deep-cleaned.

New protocol is now established. Reduced traffic through the side door, which is the closest outside exposure to the grow. We are considering an additional barrier between the outdoors and the grow area. Washing up, gloves and shoe sleeves are now required when entering the tent. A change of clothes is required if coming from other grows, gardens, or grassy/foliar areas.

The invaders stand no chance.

Good.


Every time a grower only partially removes mites using something like spinosad or pyrethrin, they are unintentionally stearing their evolution towards resistance to the pesticide. That happens anyway, but lax treatment significantly speeds things up. Kill them all! Sack their armory, let the bodies burn ... Muahahahahahahahaha
