New Here

Greetings

I've been looking for a place i can land for a cannibis community. There's plenty to pick from. I'm calling this my home.

I've been growing for awhile but still find myself new. This growing cannibis has by far has been the best hobby ive ever had. Im looking forward to spending time with everyone.

Here's a issue I have today. Over night I've picked up some markings on my leaves. I have a young cannibis plant in veg, 5th node. Im growing using promix without any problems until today. I've attached a picture rather the trying to explain the look. There only on one plant and seem to ony be on the fan leaves. Along with the yellow/white markings there are black spots without any movement. What ever this is it's moving fast. Can anybody identify this? Your help is most appreciated

Welcome to the farm

Those white bits are eggs
The black bits are the bugs poop

From the very little you said on the marks, the eggs color & the black poop
I believe you may have spider mites

Don’t spay the plant with any chemicals as they will prevent these from working.

Until you get them spay with water to try wash of eggs ect

Not trying to scare you anymore than you probably are just saying what your facing is every growers nightmare so your prepared for the battle use the predator mites and they won’t stand a chance mind

Spider mites are ferocious & need dealing with asap. Once they get hold they start webbing & can web a cola up fast
They live by sucking the nutrients out of the plant basically sucking the life out of them
Don’t try adding more nutrients to help just stick with your normal feeding.

There predator mites they eat the larva,eggs & the spider mite itself

There organic & safe to use.

If your in veg that’s better as you won’t have to wash the buds once harvested if your in flower you’ll need to wash the buds no matter what you use as the mite gets stuck in the bugs as so does there poop.

Honestly & I’m not saying this out of preference there your best choice

Whatever you choose do not use neem oil on your plants you can’t wash it off & it would make your trim useless & if you spay it any flowers they will taste rank.

There uk however I’m sure you can buy them on Amazon,eBay,online or from a local supplier

That's great information, thank you. The beneficial spider mites are on their way. I ordered Amblyseius Andersoni. They'll be here Friday.

Thanks again for your help.

Welcome home slatts! and to the farm : )

I have used predatory mites in my shed as a recommendation from members here, with great results! hope everything goes well for you!

Welcome

Howdy slatts, I get mites from time to time, or more like, the mites show themselves from time to time.

You’ll get a variety of answers as we have a variety of different growers and grow techniques. At this age I’ll go with a lite spray of Captain Jack’s. Flowering plants get GrowSafe.

Best of luck to ya

I agree there’s other methods however if they used captain jacks they would make it so the predator mites wouldn’t be useable

I really point that out to the op
You either go with the captains jack & spay them or you use the predator mites
As you already ordered the predators & they work you may as well use them

Absolutely bro, 2 incompatible completely opposite approaches. Kinda why I mentioned op will get a variety of answers

I'm a believer in the can of gas a match and torch everything method, Radical? yes but 100% effective. Something about 1 x 33 x 33 x33 x 33 x33 x33 x33 over a week freaks me out,

Hate to say this but I've been hearing promix is having problems not sure if this is true but makes sense on your post since you have lil one in promix

Not good. I've use Pomix with success. I had Spider Mites last year and just figured I missed one. Thanks for the heads up. I'll watch for this.

You indoor folks are actually more inclined to get overtaken by pests because you assume (as we all would) that the bugs aren't going to bother an indoor plant. Bugs eat plants, its what they do and besides breeding, it's their only drive. A little bit of preventative medicine goes a long way.

Mites suck. Bad infestation: Hose the plant off first. Mild presence: Add 2-3 drops of Dr bronner's castile soap in a 1 quart spray bottle and after lights out, blast all your plants. Let it dry and then the next light cycle off, follow it up with some captain jack spinosad to kill off hatching eggs and residual eaters. Keep treating weekly for prevention through harvest.

Not familiar with spider mites but last round i had thrips sprayed and put out predetory mites but they still came back untill i covered all my earth with diatomaceous earth and started watering from the bottom wich made the egg's couldnt hatch and completely got rid of it. down side is you cant water from the top anymore.

 

[slatts]

Predatory mites are only good as prevention. After infestation... forget about it. Unless you release them by the kilo, they will not end an infestation. Its too late for prevention.

Spider Mites arrive tomorrow. Is there anyway to kill these critters if Spider-mites are only preventative? I have 2000 coming in sachets. I did catch them early.

Thank you. I will try this. What do you think about adding some hydrogen peroxide or alcohol to the mix?

From now on beneficial are going in early.
