I WOULD SAY APHID MATE....

PEST OFF. LADY BUGS OR APHIDUS..

EASY TO TREAT. EVEN IF THERE SPIDER MITE THEN THE ABOVE WILL DESTROY THEM GOOD LUCK

They are thrips. Get a pyrithin bomb with nothing else in it.

Trying to get rid of some adults myself. Cover your soil and bomb again in 4 to5 days.

Sorry I just went looking and they are spidermites. You need to bomb every 5 days for 3 times. 15 days to break the life cycle.

[foggyman]

dont know about spider mite.
wrong colour....

the bomb is none toxic but then so are ladybugs and they will eat about 40 spidermite/aphid in a day..

even if you use the bomb(not in late flower) i would still add the ladybugs as continued protection..

ladybugs wont leave anytaste in your bud mate....

Ok guys got her out this morning and found quite a FEW of the little basterds, so i made a 'neem oil' + 'Garlic' +dishsoap' spray and soaked her and the top couple of inches of soil.
Then i ran 2 litres of water through her, the ive just sprayed ALL OVER again with that spray i made.
Then im gonna spray her again with clean water.

IVE POSTED SOME PICS, SO TELL ME GUYS LOOKING AT HER SHOULD I BE WORRIED??????

I cannot get pest off or anything similar so alls i got at my disposal is household items and foodstuffs, so if any of you have made a good detterent out of general kitchen stuffs, COMMENT AND TELL ME.

thanks alot guys

shes looking good but i would order some ladybirds from the internet or local garden center should have them. they shoudl only be around 6-8dollars for 50as this will safe guard them. they look realy nice are you using co2 as your pistles look realy long and healthy...

[themasta09]

Thanks 'foggy'
Im gonna try and get some lady bugs tomorrow.
Im not using C02 or anythning major on her, just bio bloom, molasses, tap water now, and for the bugs a garlic & neem oil spray - but this is just mainly stemming the attacks, i would be happier if i was only a week or two away from harvest, - ireckon Im about 3 weeks away (25% harvest then the rest a week after)

Hope you like those pics i just took - check the difference in the buds comparwed to yesterday.

[foggyman]

they look nice. what strain by the way?

[themasta09]

hI CHEERS FOGGY,

She is a 'Four Way' strain (which explains alot about her gowth)
With having 25% Ruderalis in shes a bit autoflowering,
FOUR WAY consists of ¼ indica, ¼ ruderalis, ¼ sativa and ¼ Skunk#1.
Four-way usually takes on an indica appearance, rather short and bushy with medium large leaves.

I think she is basically 'living' with the bugs, so as long as it stays how it has been for the lat few weeks then she should be ok.
I mean shes only got 3 weeks to harvest point, but when harvesting im only cutting 50% then leaving the rest for another week or so, to experiment with the types of highs.

May try a sample in the next couple of days - any suggestions looking at the pics where to take it from?

Thanks
