Spider Mites

[edaisson]

I, for one, am gonna try it. What's the worst that could happen? :cry:

Ok ok I will start adding that it's a joke at the bottom for all those people unable to read the fact it's dripping with sarcasm......still funny

Classic last words. :p

The worst....... Death by the hand of a pothead. It happens. Your right Sea.

I think the more accurate description would be suicide or maybe Stoner suicide

All kidding aside... What's a STRONG pesticide to clean up an empty room?

Peracetic acid

Also, quaternary ammonium compounds are good sanitizers.

i played with spider mites for almost a year. Did organic, blah blah blah. I finally tossed the most infested plants into the fire pit, trimmed everything back, and bought some Avid. I mixed it triple strength, sprayed twice and haven't seen a spider mite since.

Note; do not spray on flowering plants. I only sprayed my moms and a few plants in veg. I burned flowering plants that were infested. Mites will not feed on a plant that has been sprayed. So I got to the point where I only was spraying my mother plants if i saw a mite or two. after about a month, the mites were gone.

be mindful this stuff is a neuro toxin. At the strength i mixed it, it would make my arms tingle. Wear gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and a mask. BUT, that being siad, the shit works and it works very very well on spider mites

Do you think a little green Palmolive diluted in some water and use a spray bottle will work, I have the cleanest fucking garden after the root aphid incident and now my buddy trades me some of my healthy lush green clones for some of his LVPK and the fuckers have dust mites and are spotty alresady, took them because I'm wicked into to lush strains however....who made out on the deal lolol

just sprayed 2 gallons of pyrethrum on my greenhouse and outdoor area. after a bag of bug killer added to the soil.
bought a pint of concentrate, makes 32 gallons. for 50 dollars . damn aphids are even worse than mites in my opinion ,but we be killing them all this year.

@Sunbaked root aphids imo are the worst bugs you can get, didn't even wanna deal with them, I rinsed out all the soil and switched to hydro, I was disappointed at first but realized it's way better anyways. Those bugs came from fox farm ocean Forest

No more signs of root aphids since the transfer, those fuckers love soil and it's one inch of top wetness, fuck them and the soil they need to live in lol

2oz of mean green mixed in one gallon of water, just raped those spider mites, some eggs are left but I'll spray with water daily until they detach and fall off, probably repeat the spray daily or every other day

I had great results using safer soap and wipe out for spider mites.

I've been doing my research on these little bastard's and have a few questions.
- prevention??(I know it's not 100%)
- would spraying the foliage with ph'd water (tops/underside) everyday/everyother day help?
- sns217? Good or waste of money?


I'm going to run a 8-10" fan blowing up towards the top and of course a few clip fans for proper air movement.this should help to correct?

what I have learned and am doing, fan across top, azamax for foliar and in watering mix for prevention, also hit it with this if u see signs of damage,, and follow up a few days later with a spinosad, both organic, helps prevent them getting immune to one solution, I would not spray leaves every day with water. Spray the underside with the insectides.

 

[AJGirlsGrow2]

Mine are in flowering, correction, when they were in veg i put in sink and used spray nozzle to hit those bastards, after I also handwiped underside of leaves with wet paper towel.

 

[DemonTrich]

Water and Spinosad do absolutely nothing to mites but give them a bath.

Ambectin (iirc) kills mites.

Use a 60x or 100x scope and look under your leaves. Bet you find eggs or newly hatched mites from just wiping or spraying with water.

 

[AJGirlsGrow2]

To clarify, I used Azamax and then Monterey Insect Spray which contains just 0.5% Spinosad and was recommended after the Azamax but I'll also check them again under scope and do another wipe with wet paper towel if I have to, it's really not that bad at all.

 

[DemonTrich]

Once again, Spinosad will not kill mites. Ambectin will and does. As well as 99% iso, do NOT spray plants. And sns 217 is also a good spray.

I'd like to get my hands on some Mighty Wash but the supply store said they can't sell it in MA anymore.
