AAAHHH SPIDER MITES!!!

Hardon, I did not even bother reading all your reply because you are just like Zandor and the other narrow minded people who think they know everything about things they have not tried or heard of.

Obviously you did not read everthing I wrote about spider mites, or you would have seen that people are trying them and they are working. They have worked for many, many people. They workded for me. Period. And yes, I know what a spider mite is. Why is is so hard to believe that a toxic dangerous chemical could permiate the air and kill mites? Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Go ahead laugh, while myself and many others continue to enjoy many years of mite free crops, all because we decided put our arrogance and skepticsm aside and try a $9 pest strip. It's people like you that make me want to shoot myself in the face.

And thanks for calling me a moron and idiot, after I spent hours trying to help you. I really appreciate that, you moron.

I have about had it with you!!!!!

listen to me once again.....:mad:

YOU may think you have cured your problem and you MAY think your shit don't stink but I for one am getting sick and tired of you running about this forum trying to either pick a fight with me or worse try to portray me as ignorant & narow minded. From what I see your grow closet is just above a ghetto grow. You have no room to talk and limited skill from what I see.

I have tried to be nice with you. I am sure you feel you are correct but you are only dealing with a very small area. It may even have worked for you....but if you say it works so well then why in another thread did you say you can look at the eggs under the leaf. You said you can see them in their eggs too. Well if you took care of your problem so well with your pest strips so long ago. (Because that is what you told me was that it has worked for you for many years I believe).

Then how can you still see them and their eggs?

You have pushed me to my limit and you have been put on notice please chill out.

Your anger and your attitude is not welcome here.

Chill out and behave. You have a right to disagree but you must be respectful and courteous.

You have been educated and warned again. If you are not happy here then I understand that too. You have brought this all on by your self and you are 100% responsible for your actions and their cause and effect.

The day I need to get advice from you is long past.:dance:

And when did you ever spend a minute helping me????

You don't even know how to read a thread properly.

You don't know what a chlorophyl feeding spidermite is or you wouldn't be looking for them on snakes or anything else other than plant matter. If you had read the whole post, you would have seen that spidermites prefer plant foilage to snake / rodent breeding 100 out of 100 times.

The only fricking reason a spidermite would be on a snake is to hitch a ride.:thumbsup:

No plant?

Spidermite dies.

End of story.

YOU may think you have cured your problem
I do and I did. The mites, their eggs, and all traces of them have been gone for 6 or 7 harvests I think. All from one pest strip. I guess that means I cured the problem.

I for one am getting sick and tired of you running about this forum trying to either pick a fight with me or worse try to portray me as ignorant & narow minded.
I am not trying to pick a fight with you. I don't know how you got that impression. When someone responds to your disagreement with them, that does not necessarily mean that they are picking a fight. People are allowed to talk. That's kind of what this forum is all about. This is absolutely nothing, believe me. You ought to see some of the shit I've been through with real, actual assholes on some other non-weed sites. I have never seen anything close to it on this weed forum or any others. If you can't take someone disagreeing with you, then you had best not engage in discussions. I do not think you are ignorant about weed. In fact I believe the exact opposite. However I do think you are ignorant about one very small part of weed farming. That would be Spectracide's Bug Stop Pest Strips. They work period. There is just no way around it. Not only do they work, but quite well I might add. Everyone that has tried them, that I know of, has joyfully reported back that yes, even though they were positive the strips wouldn't work, they did. Just read all the spider mite threads that I posted in and you will see what I mean now. People have tried them, and what the fuck, it must be some kind of friggen miracle or something, because they worked. Real glad I took the $9 gamble, and such. Or do you also think these people are insane like me? As far as narrow minded:
nar.row-mind.ed (narâ??o minâ??did), adj. having a prejudiced or self-rightous mind.
Wouldnâ??t the very definition of this be: I know something wonâ??t work. I know a lot about this thing, even though I havenâ??t read about it much, or much less tried it myself. I have never read, or even heard of one scientific (or non-scientific) study of it, or heard of a report from an average Joe who tried it. However I am really knowledgeable in this area, so there is â??no way in hellâ?� you will ever convince me that it would work. If you think that it worked for you, youâ??re obviously just some idiot who has no clue what youâ??re talking about. ??? Iâ??ll let you decide. Just keep in mind the definition of the phrase.

From what I see your grow closet is just above a ghetto grow.
Nice, real nice. Way to address the valid points of our discussion. My closet happens to be about as high tech as it can get except for co2 and automatic dosers, which are coming soon. I wonâ??t go into a lot of detail defending my closet at this point, because I donâ??t really think thatâ??s relevant to the conversation. Iâ??ll just say this for now: stadium scrog (do you even know what this is? and if so, is it becasue of me being the only one to post about it?), 400 watt MH veg side cool tube, 600 watt HPS bud side cool tube, digital ballasts, ample ventilation, aero-style cloning, hybrid combination of drip and NFT, 2 jets per root mass (32 total), two big pumps, two smaller circulation pumps, overkill nutrient aeration through various methods (this is the key, people) mylar most surfaces and white others, Green Air timers, most expensive light bulbs you can buy, mother section hosts 4 wonderful varieties on a heavy duty, full extension drawer, and most importantly, awesome harvests every 60 days. Sure a couple things are homemade, but they are done right and work well. A little over $3000 when Iâ??m all done. I am not trying to win the cover of Bud Digest with my closet, but I really wouldnâ??t call it just one step above a ghetto grow. Probably more like 1 1/2. Again more expert opinion on things you know nothing about, unless this really is your version of a step above a ghetto grow. Itâ??s not mine however.

You have no room to talk and limited skill from what I see.
Great, more insults. I have been growing weed off and on for about the last 24 years or so, mostly in dirt. The past 4 years have been hydro and the past 2 have been SOG with screen (SCROG). I have had many mishaps and remedied them all, including spider mites. How limited is that? Granted, itâ??s maybe not expert level, but certainly not novice. And please tell me again why I have no room to talk? I thought thatâ??s what this forum was for. Or am I just not allowed anymore?

I have tried to be nice with you. I am sure you feel you are correct but you are only dealing with a very small area.
Me too, and my point exactly. Is it really possible for you to know more than everyone else about every little small point of weed farming, such a pest strip? Couldnâ??t it be that perhaps there is someone out there in the world who might actually know more about a pest strip than you? Perhaps someone who bothered to research it, or maybe even someone who actually tried one? I have not been saying you are mistaken about any other area of weed farming.

if you say it works so well then why in another thread did you say you can look at the eggs under the leaf. You said you can see them in their eggs too. Well if you took care of your problem so well with your pest strips so long ago. (Because that is what you told me was that it has worked for you for many years I believe). Then how can you still see them and their eggs?
I said this because it is true that you can look at eggs under the leaf. Thatâ??s not really so weird is it? You can even see them with the naked eye if you have good vision. I believe I said that if you do this a few hours after administering the strip you will see the babies dead in their tracks. Is this what you are talking about? I donâ??t think I said you can see them in the eggs, but maybe you can. I donâ??t remember doing this though (seeing them in the eggs). And please point out exactly where I said that I can â??stillâ?� see them. I donâ??t think you will be able to because I donâ??t think I said that. If I did, I must have been really out of it, because I have not seen any sign of them for about 2 years now. I think I mentioned this several times, therefore it would be impossible for me to still see them. I think there is communication failure somewhere here that is contributing to confusion and possibly a small amount of anger (not from me). Perhaps you are just skimming?

You have pushed me to my limit and you have been put on notice please chill out.
I did not mean to, but, cool. I donâ??t think Iâ??ve ever been on notice before. Now I know what it feels like. Kinda like, really cool. Iâ??m such a fuckin rebel. Has anyone ever done this to you before? They must have, because it apparently takes next to nothing to push you to your limit.

Your anger and your attitude is not welcome here.
Is (are) yours?

Chill out and behave. You have a right to disagree but you must be respectful and courteous.
I agree, and I didnâ??t realize I was unchilled. However, it may be quite helpful to me and possibly others if you could be so kind as to point out exactly how I misbehaved. Was it my unnecessary and rampant use of the â??Fâ?� word? Additionally, it would be helpful if you could point out exact instances of my disrespect and my discourteousness. I canâ??t for the life of me remember any. In fact, I think I remember complimenting you and saying that I appreciate you several times. Unless perhaps you are talking about the time I asked if I could be so bold as to suggest it is poor moderating to say that you are an absolute expert on something that you have not tried, or even researched, even when everyone who has tried it or researched it, disagrees with you (re-read the posts). Iâ??m sorry but I just canâ??t change my view on this. Please donâ??t get me wrong, I am not talking about you in general; only one instance of something you happened to be wrong about. I guess this must sound really wierd to you, but believe it or not, it is possible for humans to be wrong. I have agreed with nearly everything else I have ever heard you say, and found much of your advice very helpful. I have told you this before.

You have brought this all on by your self and you are 100% responsible for your actions
WTF? Brought what on? A discussion about pest strips? If my contribution is so bad, why are the related threads getting so long, and why have so many people thanked me?

Hey, I got an idea: How much have you spent on your set up over the years? What has your book cost you? Considering that, wouldnâ??t it be worth it to know for sure, before you finish your book? (I assume you address the issue of pests.) What if, and bare with me for a second because Iâ??m going way out on a limbâ?¦ what if there was a small chance that the strips might actually work, like everyone who has tried them says they do? And what if there were a slim chance that pest strips (the right ones) were actually the most convenient and the least expensive solution to a problem that really should be addressed in any weed book. Wouldnâ??t it be worth it to know for sure? I mean, a pest strip costs $9 and research is free. You wouldnâ??t want to seem unknowledgeable about anything in your book, would you?

Still love ya, no matter your decision about keeping me around.

The day I need to get advice from you is long past.
So this means there once was a day. Glad you've finally ascended to my lofty level.

And when did you ever spend a minute helping me????
Every time I spent a minute typing about spider mites, or anything else of mine you've read, except for the few times I asked for advice.

You don't even know how to read a thread properly.
WTF are you talking about? I probably read threads better than you, with one eye tied around my penis. (No jokes about my penis here, its gigantic.)

You don't know what a chlorophyl feeding spidermite is or you wouldn't be looking for them on snakes or anything else other than plant matter. If you had read the whole post, you would have seen that spidermites prefer plant foilage to snake / rodent breeding 100 out of 100 times.
Again, WTF are you talking about? I don't care what a chlorophyl feeding spidermite is, but I assume you are talking about the common two spotted spider mite. I am not looking for them on snakes, I don't know where you got that. "If you read the whole post" you would know that. However, I have mistakenly chopped up a snake or two during mowing. I am not even looking for them on plants anymore, because about 2 years ago I completely ridded myself of them by using 1 pest strip. I know you don't believe it, and that's fine. But it is true. It did happen. You are only hurting yourself by not believing me and all the others who say that it is true.

The only fricking reason a spidermite would be on a snake is to hitch a ride.
Who cares? I thought we were talking about whether or not a No Pest Strip can kill spider mites on weed plants.

Ignore the following if you are not comically challanged:
The above quote to harddon was meant in a spirit of sarcasm.

Maybe its time for you kids to just accept that different people prefer different methods....maybe one is more effective, maybe just as effective or ineffective.

As well as different growing environments, different strains, techniques...etc means theres bound to be a divergence in opinion.

Opie, you stick with the strips.

Zandor, you stick with the bombs.

Hardon, ever heard of priapism?

I realize different methods work. I even said I believe Zandor when he tells me the bombs work. Why would he lie to me about this? And why would I lie to him about the strips? I just don't get it. It just really dissapoints me that everyone seems to look up to Zandor, so they will not believe me, and they will continue to do things the hard way because Zandor, a guy who has has never tried a strip, says they don't work. Well, I take that back, now he has changed his mind and agrees that they might work on real small projects, or ghetto grows like mine. Well, why not big professional rooms then? Just use more of them. Kind of like you would if you were using bombs. Again, I just don't get it.

Doesn't the quote of Twain say it all?

Education is when you remember what you have learned after you forget what you were taught. -M.Twain


So as soon as one is done reading what Zandor has to put out...forget about it...and then go learn on your own, then apply your new found knowledge the way you see fit.

It's YOUR <---(applies to anyone) grow. How you see fit to conduct it is entirely up to you. Just as long as you're paying attention when ya screw something up...same for when you get a positive result!

The bickering ought to be confined to healthy debating. And the insultive name calling crap flat out has no place in a learning environment.

I can see the day when under the name OPIE I shall see the word BANNED.

Until such day, you remain full of Sh*t.

Keep smoking your pest strip fumigated weed. It's working real wonders on your brain.

Now go on back to your ghetto grow.
-----------------------------------------------------
For everyone else who has spider mites, soap and water every single day, every single leaf for 14 days. Stems as well.

Or start over.


And when you can grow from seed to this in 33 days, with nothing but CFL, I'll listen to your advice.

OMGosh...you're still using a steel tape ruler???


Thats as ghetto as it gets!!! :p

Steel tape rulers help you measure your buds like these....;)

So when is dinner? :smokin:

And whatever happened to the fella that began this thread?

Yeah, sure you could do that, but that won't do a damn thing to rid yourself of mites. Have fun doing that forever, when you could take 1 minute, and be done forever. People, listen to me and listen good. Soap, neem oil, tabacco, and all other natural products do not kill all the mites. Most kill none. It is impossible to break the life cycle using these products. Natural products make the mites run away to their safe base, then the get together like in a town meeting, and vote to make it their life's effort to do nothing but screw you over good. Why not just kill them dead once and for all? This never ending process of just controling the mites a little with soaping, spraying, dipping and whatever, just makes absolutley no sense, unless you just like spending a lot of time with your weed plants. And remember, mites hybernate deep in fucked up growing mediums like harddon's dirt and rockwool.

I can see the day when under the name of HARDDON on his headstone, it says "Died real stupidly becease he thought he was an expert on everything and refused learn anything."

And harddon, I can grow weed better than you using any settup you prefere. When you come out of the dark ages and catch up to our century I might start listening to your advice. And it's inappropriate to type in all caps on the internet unless you are defining a group or yelling. Are you yelling you name at everyone?

And harddon, good job on those buds. They look tasty. Are they potent?

Those bombs work really well.
Neem oil,and hoy pepper spray are some organic sprays that actually work.
Let me ask you this Opie.
Have you tryed all those?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Keep that neem spray handy.
Use daily.
Mites? What mites?

Yes Jdog, I tried many natural remidies, but of course I have not tried them all. That would pretty much be impossible. I am not dissagreeing that some work, unless what you mean by "work" is that they kill all the mites with one application. If someone used any natural method that worked (killed them all forever, the done with it, kind of killed), I would really appreciate a write up of this. If I had known that there was a natural method that actually "worked", I would have definately tried this long before my wife and I stopped trying to have kids. That is of course as long as it was fairly easy, and did not involve time consuming daily rituals and stuff.

Ref no pest strip, just saw this! significant? muyom

The EPA, in response to a request from pesticide product manufacturer AMVAC, is poised to restrict some uses of a common â??pest stripâ?� insecticide known as DDVP, or diclorvos. DDVP is an organophosphate insecticide, a class of highly toxic pesticides. Low-level exposure to DDVP can cause headaches, nausea, and vomiting; large doses of the poison can be fatal. Laboratory studies have also shown that DDVP can cause cancer; California classifies it as a â??known carcinogen,â?� and the World Health Organization and the EPA name it a â??possible human carcinogen.â?�

The largest of the pest strips, often used in homes, will be completely removed from the market. The second-largest size will be limited to use in garages, attics, crawl spaces, and sheds where people spend fewer than four hours each day. The smallest size pest strip will be restricted for use in closets, wardrobes, and cupboards. Pest strips impacted include AlcoR No-Pest Strip, AMVAC Insect Strip, AlcoR Pest Strip, AMVAC No-Pest Strip, and Swat Pest Strip.

Just occurred to me, Opie, if you start growing an extra eyeball on your elbow, let us know.

That's interesting. I wondered if there would ever be a ban on the strips. I guess they work too good to not get banned. People, better load up on these while you can. I got my one extra just in case. I think maybe I'll pick up another one or two while I still can.

Kinda reminds me of insect repellent creams used by the infantry back in the nam.

Bummer. I take it you used some of these and they were bad for you. What did they supposedly do to you that was bad? Did you ever see the effects on people? I was just barely too young to serve.

Quick question: WHere do mites come from?

I believe for many, the infestation occurs and then continues on from clones of an infected mother plant.

Can they survive long enough on a seed in a bag-o-bud that someone germinates asap?

Makes the idea of getting the seeds chilled for a while prior to germination for sake of taking a measure to assure the seeds aren't infected seem worthwhile. Or would some UV light do the same?

From their mothers and fathers.

But seriously, mine came from the weed clinic (they since have stopped giving out clones, bummer). The guy said, we only have 3 left and they have spider mites, do you still want one? I said, what are spider mites? He said, they are no big deal, but I would need some neem oil to take care of the problem. I looked at the plant and didn't see anything, so I took it home and put it in with my others, sprayed it with neem oil, and wrecked my life for awhile. That guy was lieing or extremely mistaken.

A few of the many places they can come from besides weed clinics:
- through cracks in your grow area from the outdoors.
- from your clothes, after you visited an infested grow area.
- from your cat, after it was outside.
- from you, after you were outside.
- from a plant you brought home from a garden center.
- from the twilight zone.

And don't forget about hybernation.

A couple of months after they appear to be gone, there they are again. Holy friggen crap! Many people mistakenly believe that they have somehow let them in again, or brought them in again, when all along the were there all the time.

slowthestone:
Did you change your avitar? I like it.

About chilling stuff to kill mites. I am not an expert about this but this is my belief based on things I have read: You can drastically slow down the mite problem by lowering temps. The lower the better. As far as I know though, you can't kill them unless you lower the temps to freezing or below.

Of course lowering temps drastically slows down the weed growth also, and freezing would kill the plants. I don't know for sure if freezing would kill seeds. Anyone?

ladybugs!!

they rock... no poison, no mess just release a few and they will eat your problem away.

Are you telling me that plain old ordinary ladybugs will do the same thing as those spider mite destroyers do? I understand that the destroyers are in the ladybug family, and they do kill mites. The problem is they are very expensive, and it takes a whole bunch of them, depending on how bad your infestation is.

Not that I have mites anymore, but if I ever got them again this would be great. I have access to ladybugs, to say the least. I could walk out to the shed and come back in 5 minutes with a handful. And if this does work, what do you do about the ladybug problem then? Do you just make sure you keep them in your grow area, then they eventually die? Or do they reproduce and flourish? I guess I would choose ladybugs over mites, if I had to choose.

The no pest strips are dangerous, they contain dichlorvos, Ã* choliesterase inhibitor which is released from the resin contained in the strip. Cholinesterase is an enzyme necessary to return your neurons to their resting state after activation. This means that 1-It does not affect plants, since they have no neurons, it may accumulate in the plant, but the stips does not need tu be used for long for the effects to be felt and 2-Getting a large dose of this will kill you, but you couldn't die from the strip unless you ate the resin and kept it down. I have my grow in my room so this strip isn't great. Spidermites are such bitches that I gave in and decided to get one, but I do not continuously leave it there. I use it to bomb my room, I'll seal it up and place the strip inside during the plants night cycle (I would suggest using it only very early in the plant life cycle so as not to accumulate the dichlorvos). It is advised against this on the packaging because the concentration of resin vapor will build up and when the room is opened, you should definately evacuate the air as quickly as possible and store the strip in an airtight case (or reseal the pouch it came in). The concentration build up during this short period should be enough to bomb the place, but keep the strip to reuse it if mites reappear. Use great care when using these strips as they are very close to being banned since they are so toxic, they actually use an organophosphate, which is what is used in nerve gas, and hopefully the plants will not have absorbed a large quantity and it will break down before harvest as smoking heavily dichlorvos inpregnated bud will most certainly be dangerous.

Yep, that's why they work. That's also why I recommended not using them during flowering, or at all if you are planning on having children.

Well..... NO PEST STRIPS are probably one of the best things to use to rid you of your problem...Like Opie Mentioned, they are cheap, with no strings attached(LITERALLY) and it's odorless... I can honestly say they work because i too like other growers have had this problem before BUT i never heard of spending about 3,000 to kill the little bastards

As far as the ladybug method, I've heard of it, and I'm no Insect expert or Biologist but would a ladybug eat your leaves?

All in All, your all right, theres just different methods of how to solve your problems and just because you haven't tried a certain method then don't knock it...It works...And i understand what Zandor said about the impossibility of a Pest Strip Getting rid of a BAD INFESTATION.....

Peace

Well, don't forget that I had a bad infestation. Well at least I think it was pretty bad. There was webbing up all the corners of the walls and a shit load of webbing in the corners of the ceilings. Over a period of 3 days the webbing just grew darker and darker until it was a solid black mass of spider mites. The plants looked like Dalmatians, with not much but black and white spots on them. Black from the congregation of mites, and white from any webbing that wasn't occupied with groups of mites. I guess that's what happens when you don't look in on your plants for a few days. When I first saw signs of them I didn't know what they were. You got to nip that shit in the bud, and now.

Long story short, the strips will rid you of an infestation if you use enough of them, seal up the place, and turn off the ventilation for one night. I will bet any amount of money you desire, and I take PayPal.

And please do not tell me they were not mites. Trust me I know what a two spotted spider mite looks like.

"I" don't know if it could or can't....I'm pretty sure they can demolish a race of mites. it worked for me but you said you used more than 1 so i guess thats why but i used 1 and it did the trick but my problem wasnt as bad as yours...I thought you just used a single one but now i understand...I wont disagree with you about the mites buddy trust me i kno what they are...BUT its not safe to have too much Pest Strips in the house...Its not safe for the lungs

I will bet any amount of money you desire...No paypal i like CASH... :thumbsup:

I had one strip in a 3'x3'x9' cabinet. I turned off the ventilation at night. It wasn't even sealed well, and the mites were dead in one night. I recommend using more in larger areas, or if you can't turn the ventilation completely off for some reason. I think I recommended using twice the amount the directions called for.

Cash is really cool, but it's kinda hard to send over the internet.
