I did have weeds all over the yard but me and some friends cleaned the yard so hope that will take care of the bug problem also sprayed around the yard not by plants..

Its not a good idea to take pics at night as it messes with their dark period and light that interrupts this could cause them to hermaphrodite. You can putt an onion, very hot pepper, 2 drops of liquid soap in a blender. Blend it with water to the point that you can put into a spray bottle. Spray at night so the sun will not burn your plant up. Spray the soil and all the plant every night and make sure you get under the leaves.

This should help, but keep on it as these mites will destroy your plant in time, they are about the worst bug you can get.

Good luck:rasta:

Thats great bro, but get rid of the mites or your not going to have any buds come harvest time. Cuz i dont want to watch all season and know while your smoking it, ya here the snap and popping of the dead mites in your doobie. Sounds just nasty man. Oh and i had to laugh, cuz it looks like you and your buddy's pulled every weed, piece of grass and anything in close proximity to your plant, lol. Not that its a bad thing, its just that the ground looks bare.



Keep er green man:weedpoke:

lol we pretty much tore every little shrub out of the ground and yes it looks like
some of the mites are starting to die off the eggs turned white, we did try the
soap technique and its looking like it worked pretty good not guna spray it tonight due to the constant 4hour rain we are getting haha :thumbsup:

Well just so ya know they like to lay eggs in the soil, which when buds get ready, they start to eat on em.

Well the purple stems you see could mean a couple things, one a Nutrient deficiency or the genetics of the plant. I would read in plant problem section under deficiency's.

Hey i know this is kinda late into the post but, i noticed your first pictures look like they were taking at night. If my observation is correct you should never light up ur plants at night reason being the light from head lights flash lights and even house porch lights can mess up the natural sleeping habits and flowerning process of your plants and may even damage them. i havent seen a nigh picure after that one but becareful and try to never light them up at night unless its an emergency in which case the light will probaly be the last of your worries.:rasta::rasta::rasta: smoke on !!!!!!! :rasta::rasta::rasta:
