Thanks for the reply! It is one small plant just starting to show a few white hairs. It is very thick so it may not be possible only to spray the leaves. Thank you.Azamax works great for mites. It doesn't provide an immediate knockdown its a growth regulator/anti feedant/ repellent and typically I'd use it in veg and pre flower. Mix with a small amount of non ionic surfactant for best results for mites. How far into flower? I wouldn't spray it or anything really on floral clusters as there will be some residue in the finished bud but it is certified organic so not the worst thing to smoke lol..... If it's a small outbreak selective pruning and stethorus beetles can help. If u run floor fans forget the beetles the fan will kill them pretty quickly.
Thank you for your help, my plant is small and outside in a pot and has just started a show white hairs, so I guess it is starting to flower. I am thinking about trimming some of the leaves and spraying it. Fingers crossed.i'm assuming your not in flower??? trim the hell out of the plant and spray everything. every 3 days you spray, for 2-3 weeks and you "might" kill em off. hudson sprayers (pump garden sprayer) work best for getting underside of leaves, ime.
Sweet that is good to hear! Been super bummed about the whole thing. I am starting today! Thanks for your time and reply.
Hi I was wondering if anyone has used azamax to get rid of spider mites. My plant is just starting to get white hairs on it. Or what else can I use?
Thank you.
sounds like a good ,cheap recipe.Quart spray bottle full of water
Tablespoon of cooking oil
Half teaspoon (3ml)of 91% iso or ethanol
Shake vigirously every few seconds while foliar spraying with lights off
Make sure to soak tops and bottoms of leaves
Put a fan on em and wait for it to dry before turning grow light back on. Repeat 7 to 10 days later, bye bye spidey mites
Do you mix the soap as recommended? I used it a few weeks ago mixed at suggested dilution maybe slightly weaker and burned the shit outta my plants! I used to use it many years ago but always found it did some damage. Then recently I had a few thrips the spinosad and azamax didn't seem to be eliminating so I thought I'd give it another chance. But holy fuck never again -so much damage! All the new growth came in all distorted and mangled not even fully formed exactly like I remembered happening years ago. It definitely killed some thrips but not worth the damage for me.Safer soap and wipe out worked for me alternating each 3 days apart for 3 weeks. Seems as though you missed a few, or the Spinosad just isn't working.
It's not always a 3-day cycle. That's in optimum conditions for mites; dry and hot. It can take much longer in less than ideal conditions. Why not just spray? Much easier with big plants. I've dipped some hurtin looking clones but big plants would be cumbersome. Tanlin or nilnat as it used to be called(tanlin in reverse) never did shit all for me. It's supposed to be liquid chitin(ground up insect or crab shell) and is listed for gnats but didn't seem to help eliminate gnats for me idkUpdate: Winning, but haven't won yet.
Every three days we've been dipping all of our veg plants. We've just completed our third run. We are alternating our treatments. The first treatment was Spinosad (killed most of them, but not all). The second was Azamax (killed every living mite, but not the eggs). The third was Spinosad again, but sprayed SM90 on all of the holes in the pots and sprayed Tanlin on the coco coir (it's diatomaceous earth in a liquid form and shreds all bugs trying to emerge or cross it).
All adult spider mites are gone*. Nothing we're using seems to be killing the eggs though, so we are still seeing juveniles. Juveniles are SUPER hard to spot. They are translucent, have not yet developed their spots and are smaller. If you have a good scope you can find them though.
We still see eggs, and as they hatch they get treated (when the every 3 day thing comes around). The idea here is to kill them before they breed to interrupt the cycle. I have found https://420spidermites.wordpress.com/life-cycle-of-spider-mites/ to be the most accurate piece on this subject. MOST MITICIDES DO NOT KILL EGGS (from the article listed). This we have found to be the case. So by regularly scheduling treatments, we are getting them as they emerge but before they can breed.
We opted for dipping. We dip the plant down to the coco in a five gallon bucket (for clones) and into 45 gallons of solution in a rain barrel-style barrel (shorter than a garbage can and wider at the mouth).
*Now above I listed that all adults were gone. This seems to be case as we can't find them. But from what I read, eggs hatch in 3 days. I've dipped 3 times, 3 days apart (so six days) and we've still got eggs, so I'm a bit baffled by that. WTF is laying the eggs?! We have had 3 different gardeners looking for adults and no one can spot a thing. So we've sprayed our tables with a bleach spray and sprayed the holes in the pots with SM90 and sprayed Tanlin on the top of coco.
The fight continues.....
