Spidermite Question...

[reality0]

Now I have read for a good while now and have decided to go with the No Pest Strips to get rid of these bloody spider mites...

But do they work outside? All the stories I've read about people using them are indoors and my grow is not. And if I can't use the NPS, would water and tabasco sauce work?

[evertking]

pyrethrum, neem oil, get under the leaves and look hell if you have time out there get most of them with you hands or what ever and then treat you plants.. you could also ask in the outdoor forums.. good luck!

Outdoors.. I am surprised you are having mite problems. Huh. You need some lady bugs.

[evertking]

whys that surprising? well, atleast i think there mites.. on almost every single plant under neath the leaf are little white things... i can sort of like rub them off, almost like dry dirt... but there white..

[evertking]

get a water bottle and mist the plant and see it you can spot a web.

[reality0]

i think there still in larvae form.. so no web

[evertking]

well if they is larva then there are spiter mites and larva do just as much damage as the mites... i would take care of every thing i could by hand and then start treating the plant with something.

[reality0]

ok will do... got a recipe for a good water spray solution?... something that i could get around the house, like tabasco or something... have no idea where to get neem oil..


and also, when i wipe off the spidermites are they going to get in my clothes and such.. and if they get in the house, will all hell break lose with them?

Evertking I am not sure as you can really hand out confident advice on this subject. I've seen you give out some bad advice lately. Relax, get some more experience... you don't have to try to be an expert on your first grow.

Have you ever personally SEEN a mite larva? No. If you had, chances are you would not recognize it as such, as it resembles a smaller version of the adult, already hard to spot with the naked eye...

Use the Fungicde 3 product they sell at walmart and home deopt- it is neem oil and will protect your plants from many pests, including spider mites, which I doubt you have. Little white things could be eggs... yes, they do lay eggs under plant leaves... silvery... if you are wondering, haven't you thought to get a magnifying glass and try to figure out what they are?

If you can rise the amout of CO2 in the area, it will suffocate them.

How are you gonna do that outdoors?

:D

Cute pooch btw! And welcome! Although I'd reconsider posting yourself as an av... your pup, on the other hand... he's pretty photogenic!

[soulmate]

Yes I guess that would be hard.

Kinda with stinky here, no reason to post pictures of yourself on a website such as this. Just seems a little foolish. You can still pet the dog in the avatar, just put on a mask... and create a mysterious super hero here on cannabis.com

Why is it against the rule to post a pic of your loved ones. We are legal Med users and growers, through Health Canada (MMAR) and have a ton of home security, (camera's, sensors and many other things, that are located remotely), 3 Rottie's and someone here at all times, so I don't understand the issue. I know things can happen, even thou but if it does, it will not be, because of a Pic.

Anyone got a pic of what a Spider mite looks like? I found this bug on one of my plants the other day but I wasn't sure what it was. I killed it and could not find others, and I looked hard. . . it was a clearish/pinkish color, and looked just like a rolly polly. but smaller. . .:wtf:
