These are my plants. This grow is not doing so well atm, due to spider mites, and i stupidly used the same soil twice, which is causing the fan leaves to turn brown and die :(. But still the buds have some nice crystals on them. I hope you enjoy:rasta:
The best way to handle spider mites is to use neem oil.I heard about it in high times once.Its a plant based insectiside that kills the eggs and adult mites.Check out everyonedoesit.com they should carry it.And they ship almost anywhere.
looking very good...!HIGH again!
For spider mites, use a non-biodegradable dish soap. It is readily available everywhere. Just look on the back of the soap container.
You mix 1/4 dish soap, 3/4 water, mist LIGHTLY on the leaves and undersides of leaves, as that's where mites like to nest. Avoid spraying the buds at all as any contact with the gentle trichs, can detsroy them.
Yeah, mites are bitch and luckily I've only had to deal with them, and it cut my yeild down a good 1/4. Pissed me off! :mad:
Browning tips of the leaves usually means overfeeding. Ease up on the nutes and only feed once a week. The same brand of soil shouldn't be burning your leaves.
do what nochowderforyou said except you can take a sponge and gently clean the leaves. orr at least that is what they told us to do when we had to work in the green house at school
Rip open 3 Marloboro reds into a pot filled with water and boil for 3 minutes put in a spray bottle and apply every other watering.
they don't look to bad to me
Trust me its bad lol. There are barely any fan leaves. There arent too many mites though. And i think im close to harvest. The room is what i am worried about though. It is in my loft which is huge, and the grow isnt in a box or anything or even covered up so the mites could lurk anywhere. When i harvest and dont have any plants up there, what is the best way to slowly kill the lurking mites?. It should be another month or so before i start growing in there again?
Thanks for your ideas, if it was any worse i would probably try it, but i only have two plants atm.:confused:
After your plants are out of that room and drying, you want to disinfect your entire grow area. Use a 1/4 bleach mixed with 3/4 water, and wipe down that entire room. The cieling, walls, floor, every area where those plants will be next time.
And wear rubber gloves when you handle the bleach/water mix, as bleach will burn your skin.
