MYSTERY BUGS - PLEASE HELP! pictures

[guano68]

I did try ladybug as my first response. I think they work well if you don't have an advanced case - in my case they couldnt keep the prob under control.

I'm running with ladybugs now. My house is infested with them- not of my doing either, and I consider it good luck. I still do get signs of mite damage but the infestation is really under control, and bonus, mites can't evolve a genetic immunity to being MUNCHED!!! mwahahahaha!

Ew...
Mealy bugs!


Mealybug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Like stinky says, there's probably an assortment of bugs in there.. One of them though is for sure Mealy.

Good Luck..

THEY'RE STILL HERE

I am awaiting an express shipment of the Mealybug Predator: Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. Mealybug Predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri - GreenMethods.com

25 of these critters should arrive tomorrow - They look a bit like ladiebugs but apparently have an even more voracious appetite for mealybugs. My current crop is in sad shape and is ready for harvest - Pretty much too late for anything - I am getting the Crypto M.s mainly to protect my (uninfested) bigger batch that is in the same room and is 4 wks into 12/12

I'll let everyone know how these friendly predators work

FIrst of al spider mites make white dots form on the top of leaves. You do not have a spider mite infestation.

Mealy bugs it is.

First of all, since it appears you are in flower stage I would not touch my plants with ANYTHING chemical at all. It takes up to 28 days for UV rays to breakdown the toxins.

DO not smoke the chemicals for your own good would be my advice.

What would I do?

Let them go. Pick as many off one by one by one.

Your predators will need several weeks to get established to begin with so odds are they will not make a difference in time to alter your yeild. The time for predators is prior to flowr, not during, as they can take 4 - 6 weeks to conquer.

Neem oil does not kill most pests, rather, it makes them sick and inhibits sexual activity. As you apply the neem oil every 4 days, after about 4 or 5 applications you have effectively interupted the reproductive cycle and there are fewer mites to deal with.

At this point I would let them grow as is and just hand pick what you can. It all depends on how many more weeks you have to flower, but you do not appear to have time.

Finally, if you can contain them, remember the pant will react to infestation by emitting more resins. It is what the resin is for probably.

I had one plant I completly let go with spider mites and by the end she was covered in a web.

But Gotdamn that was the strongest smoke I ever had. Grown right next to same strain plants that I battled 24/7 figuring this pest problem out.

Good luck...but dont smoke the chems!
