No Pest Strip - Got a Few Spidermites - Week 7/10 Flowering.

Hello, my plant is finally close to completion shes on week 7 and is Pot of Gold strain.
The issues is shes getting spider mites all of a sudden. Theres very few and I killed as many as I could find but I know theres still some, I've been checking every few hours to find new ones walking around, including some eggs.

I read that No Pest Strips work pretty well on vegging plants, but is it safe to use it on a plant thats 7 weeks into flowering, will it make the buds harmful or somehow harm them or the entire plant. I need to find this information out asap as I'm already seeing white spots appear on leaves.

I'm sorry that I can't help you out on this timeframe, but just thought I drop a note and let you know first hand that I am well into veg. and the pest strips worked out very well. But, like you, I am about ready to flip the switch and need to know this same info. I was told that you can put the pest strips in for the first three days of bloom, but over and above that, I haven't read anything more.
Good luck and I will check back, too. :D

Spray with 50/50 water alcohol

This is a great technique, and at the greenhouse where I work, we don't even dilute the alcohol. Use isopropyl alcohol and put it into a spray bottle. Douse all of the areas where you see little f***ers and check the soil for them as well. It will require some special attention, but it will save you the hassle of having to install pest strips and is a very cheap and clean way to handle pest problems!

Good luck,

Could you please share what percentage alcohol?

i try to stay away from chemicals to far into flower.

Hi matey Im coming up to a week into flower with mfg, and we noticed a couple of the little buggers last nite.
I spent 8 hours on this exact subject, and the result was "100% ORGANIC PURE NEEM OIL"
I bought some off good ole Ebay for like 4 quid (7 euros, 7 dollars) you mix a bit with water and just spray - and cos its ORGANIC you'll get no nasty effects on ya baby..
Good luck
