Had a pretty bad mite problem, got those fuckers somewhat under control with the help of Pyrethrum... today I found one plant absolutely loaded with mites... webs and all. I have gotten pretty decent at detecting those sick bastards, and the problem doesn't appear to have spread to any other plants.

I segregated the single plant, and took all the mites off with a Q-Tip (quite annoying) but I am guessing some of the mites have travelled to other plants. I am a few days short of five weeks flowering, and I'm not sure weather or not to spray em. I have buddies who say they use the sprays until a week before harvest, while others tell me to not use it once the buds are a solid "thumb" thick. I am growing purps, and like many stories I have heard of this strain, it has been a damn slow starter. I think I could get away with another week of spraying however I don't want to raise the mold risks if possible.
