I don't know what to do about these mites. I cut most of the leaves off and I have sprayed soap/oil twice now with no luck so Im thinking I made it too weak and will try again tomorrow. Im not smoking as of now but was thinking of doing so once I harvest this one.....I guess the mites will add flavor and probably harshness.
You can see the mite bites in the lower leaves. Don't seem to be on the bud but I imagine they are.
Wash them, I hate the snap crackle pop of mites, their shit and eggs,,,,,,takes all the fun out of smoking,,,,cooking it is just added protein, but smoking is eeeeeeewwwww......lol
I've used my pressure washer on them with a fine mist spray, I pump the thing up as high as I could and blasted the underside of the leaves as best I could, It knocks thier numbers down but it didn't knock them out....I had to shutter down bleach everything and start again to kill them all off. I still spray my cement floors weekly with Bleach and water to slow down the herd from marching towards my plants...I know they're out there give the fkers a chance and they take off I thinks its something like day 1 = x 33 x33 x33 x33 x33 per day.....yikes....
