No pest strips now! Don't spray anything since they are so close to harvest.

[Subjekt]

they must be spider mites, order pet stripes...dont spray

[danimal0817]

not spider mites. had those before. to big anyway. sorry no pic.

Worst case scenario: you're just gonna have to smoke 'em! As long as there wasn't a gigantic colony of them, there probably won't be a huge difference in flavor or potency...but, you're probably going to have some popping going on intermittently as their tiny little bug carcasses explode from the heat of the flame!

Sorry, guess I could have made that sound a little less gross! :jointsmile:

How did you get rid of your spider mites? Did they every come back?

If you did have spider mites, you will also see little webs. In order to get rid of them, you will have to bomb the room after this crop is over. Then I would suggest using neem oil as a spray every 2-3 days. Use it all through veg and into flowering. Stop using the neem with about 2 weeks to go in flowering.
