HEY i need some help here. I got some white lil somethig in my soil. i think there called spider mites, dont really know. need to know how to kill them fukers.. can any one tell me how to get rid of them. this is my first time growing.. its a out door plant. female i think , cause it has no seeds. heres some pixz.and another question when is it time to harvest as they say? email me at [email protected]
Well its definately a female (good). As to how to get rid of the spider mites, wish I could help, but I have no clue. Try looking at any garden centers for pesticides ( like for use on tomatoes) however stop using those atleast 2 weeks before harvest.
I find Neem Oil works well for spider mites
to get rid of spider mites, crush up sum cloves of garlic (how much depends on the amount of spider mites) and mix with water, put it in a spray bottle, and spray the soil and (if u got the balls to risk your bud,) spray your plant too, if you dont want to spray the plant, leave a few cloves in the pot and make it stink of garlic, spider mites hate garlic, and will run away eventually, so theres your answer... good luck
Also, if none of this works, when you harvest, just hang the plants unside down [Like most people do anyway] and the spidermites will run out of the buds and up the stem to they're painfully slow death.
Some guy had spider mites and ended up burning his whole harvest. A complete waste.
:thumbsup: i her something about chilli and water or pepper with ater ?? whats that all about.. and something about soap with neem oil?and thanks for the ti[ps guys
try insecticidal soap (i use safers). it kills most bugs and it is totally safe, and actually beneficial to your plants. Just make sure to sorta rinse your plants off later on if u use a lot, u don't want funky tasting buds.
If you spot any ladybugs outside, bring them in onto your plants. They will slowly eat the spider mites, but wont harm your plants
excellent.:p safer's insecticidal soap!:thumbsup: i was just about to write a thread on the stuff. it's like it was invented for pot!:D and you can use up to the day of harvest!:dance:Quote:
