Only thing I can think of is:


  1. Either pluck one of the ladies early and take my losses. Then take the remaining to a buddies to finish up.
  2. Turn the light off while they work, but I don't see this one happening.

I don't know how I would take a 3 foot plant out of this house and transfer them to another spot.

Please anybody help assess the situation in some way. I'm really considering just getting rid of these and starting fresh when the home gets all done being remodeled.

Plus I checked the kids yesterday and they are starting to get mites all over badly. Another reason to think on getting rid of these....

Oh and I forgot to mention there is about 3-4 weeks still left before they get done....
This is like one of those unsolvable questions you get on some tests...

If they really are infested with mites, I would probably abandon it. Fighting those f***ers is a losing proposition, especially with summertime heat.

I would go ahead and turn off the lights while the workmen are there. If the plants don't react badly, you can still recover, should you change your mind.
