frigin spider mites!!!!

[youngin]

two weeks approx from harvest and great nugs, organic grow and now spider mites. I have sprayed with AzaMax today and it seems to kill them fu....rs but looking at infected leaves under a scope some of the mites were still alive. I really sprayes those leaves both sides too.
Can anybody give me some pointers here. I have done lots of research and yet I know there is no substitute for experience. Youngin

U know spider mites are hard to get rid off but hey here's a fix that will last a couple of weeks get some soapy water spray everything plants and entire room give the leaves a drowning and rub the leaves underneath gently then rinse off with clean water just make sure it's all clean then every week check and repeat they will go eventually just keep ur room clean !!!

Don't use the soapy water. Shell no pest strips. If you are this close to harvest anything you put on the plant will effect the taste.

Read the spider mite thread in my sig. It will tell you how to permanently eliminate them if you follow the process. Use the neem up to the flower room. Sevin kills them well, but don't get it on the plants.

SNS-217! All natural, made from botanical extracts, and kills on contact. Azamax takes longer because it works on their digestive system and prevents them from molting, etc. I've never seen anything work better than 217.

^^ yeah but that stuff is expensive, I say safer all in one, and neem oil as a preventative usualy works, also SM90, but spider mites and their eggs are what you are going after. then again azamax is about 25 bucks too right.

I just read your close to harvest? in a pinch I saw jorge cervantes's trick to harvesting with spider mites as well. they dont want dead plants so soon after you harvest they look to get off the plant, so he hung the plants on a string and put glue and sugar at the ends of the string and they all got stuck around the glue and sugar. if you look up spider mites and jorge cervantes you might find the vid, I however am not sure where I even saw that vid, I have seen hundreds of hours of growing with jorge Crevantes so I am not sure.

Neem?


Like WW posted use neem until the flowering room, weekly applications and there's no mites in my room. even after bringing a clone that was 100% infected with mites..... if nothing else, that's a bid for the effectiveness of neem!!!!!!! :hippy:
