Spider mites have returned again..

mj402 · Jul 16, 2023

I already had a issue early on in their life but I thought I had gotten rid of them all. I noticed some holes in my leaves and browning spots so I misted around d with some water and found a few leaves with webs on them. So i made a mixture of peroxide, alcohol, water, and peppermint oil and sprayed the leaves

They didnt do this much damage to the leaves the first time i just boticed the white spotting the first time.

So is this damage from the spider mites? Or is it something else? They seem rather large to be from the mites to me.

That looks like damage from Leaf Miners or grasshoppers, maybe a caterpillar. . Leaf Miners are these little flies that chew parts of leafy greens and take them to build nests. I've seen them in my hemp fields. First time I ever saw them I thought I was tripping. All I could see was a part of a leaf come off a plant and start flying through the air

I wouldn't worry too much about it, whatever it is doesn't look like it's doing enough damage to hurt the plant. You could always try neem or agromagen bio-pesticide for prevention, though, if it gets worse.

But you do want to get a handle on it before they go into flour. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, grasshoppers were my second guess from some stuff I saw online. I may try to get some neem oil and see if that helps deter them

Definitely! They aren't too bad yet so hopefully I can get it under control, seeing the webs gave me a bit of a scare

I don’t blame you! Webs kind of signify a healthy infestation. Go nuclear! LOL. And be sure they are not just spiderwebs.
