My lady is only 26 days into flowering and 50% of the hairs on her have turned brown because of them. There is a shit load of white dots ALL over ALL the leaves. Im so sad :(
Knowm, Thanks SO much for the help, i really need it right now. I have a few questions though. I am using LST on my plant so putting a tent over all her strings and twisted shit wouldnt work very well, the room isnt too big though. Would it work if i bought all the dry ice and just put it in a bucket in my flowering room with the exaust fan off? I really need advice quick she is such a beautiful lady, i would hate to see her come to an early death due to some tiny pests.
Also, this is the second grow that has been taken over by mites, does anyone know of a sure way to have my next grow mite free?
Knowm, check her out and tell me what you think i should do...

I might have an idea for you...At lowe's or any hardware store...you can get a roll of this plastic in the paint department, that has tape on one edge, and flows out about 4 feet...Take 2 different pieces, take the first and tack it to your strings, they should support it long enough to get to the other side 2nd piece...attach tape to tape with the 1st, making a tent...Idon't know if this will help you or not, just thinking outloud.lw

nemo oil (however it is spelt) works very well on a large amount of bugs kills them all just spray on with sprayer every so often doesnt hurt the plants at all

What stores sell dry-ice? GK mentioned baskin robbins but i dont have any of those around me.
Thanks.

I'm amazed at how quick you guys respond when I'm in need so i will take the time to address each of your posts.
job1.5, this sounds great but i have a few questions. Do i just use straight bleach? Will it hurt my mylar? And should i do this before or after i set off a pyrethrum bomb. Thanks.
smoknjoe, I'm thinking about using the yeast method next grow, but i really am focused on frying ALL the bugs/eggs in my room right now. Will the yeast method produce enough C02 to fry the buggers?
ICEToker, Ive tried something along those lines, but it didn't seem to do anything because it was hanging and the mites don't fly. Would this really work on mites? If it does how are they supposed to get to something suspended from the ceiling?
Garden Knowm, i was thinking of predator mites, but i heard that they don't work to well, and most of them die on the ride over. Also, How much dry ice should i throw in a bucket? I have a puppy that sleeps right next to the closet door would this hurt him? How long should i leave the bucket in my room before i take it out and turn the exhaust fan on?
latewood, Thanks for your help! How wide are those pieces of plastic? I may be confused but I'm not sure how two pieces would make a tent? Also, if i just got a piece of plastic the size of my room and tacked it above the plant, just to keep the co2 from rising and leaving would it help at all?
Jory420, the pesticide I'm using right now called Schultz, Fungicide 3. It contains neem oil, you can read about it at http://www.gardensafe.com/ProductCat...de/Fungicide3/
It seems to be working a bit, but because it is lst i cant get the undersides of the leaves, and it seems to be making my pistils turn brown early.
Ive attached pictures of the fungicide, and something i am looking into, i guess it is a mister of the pyrethrum (not sure if this will hurt my dog)
Thanks everyone for all your help,

NSP, work very well, especially in enclosed places...I dunno about generics...try the real deal, guaranteed they work...I find em at WalMart, Home Depot, even grocery stores...best $7 I ever spent...

hi there,
ive had a spider mite infestation in the past and used hot pepper wax to control them while finishing off my flowering cycle....but the truth of it is the best way to get rid of those ganja eating fuckers is to shut your room down and clean everything,...pots,floors,walls,everything..
the hot pepper wax puts a thin coat of wax over the leaves and traps any bugs their and there eggs....
the co2 methods sound the bomb,..........
