I can't condone using chemicals this late in the game,... I've got nothing other than keep a close eye, and squish anything you see!

If you find mites and suck em up with the vac, go over the leaves with the microscope looking for eggs because they are there, squish em before they hatch! :chainsaw:

Lower your night time tempture to low 60's to high 50's that will really slow them down....then if your buds are not really hard as of yet...get a mixature of gravity or purple max and water....spray the whole plant with that stuff it will drown the mites you see and will be absorbed into your buds...i also spray a mixature of kelp and water on the plants if I see the mites this close to finish....all of these will not ruin the taste of the medicine and are not harmful to humans...flush for 7 to 10 days....the plants will take the nutrients left in the soil and plants and began the flushing process....I water every other day for 4 waterings....that is 8 days...the last 4 days I give them nothing....but you have to check the trichomes...because some will be ready to cut but others will not...cut the ones that ready...and water the others till the trichomes are telling your they are ready.....once you have them all cut....clean your room fully.....and when you introduce clones again....dip them in a neem solution at the start...and then spray them with a mix of neem / kelp this will keep them mostly away and the plants love the seawood/kelp products on them......

I will tell you there are some experts who post on here and most of the information I am providing.....was gained from knowledge of their posts or grow logs...on this site....

By the way I know of no mary jane strain that matures is 30 days....if your are growing in soil.....in my experience 60 days is about average....some take much longer that that.

Good luck

Good for you, and again, I'm glad my wife and none of my patients are smoking your buds. You've supposedly got your bugs under control with your methods, and I'm happy for you really I am.

But advising someone to spray anything on a late flower bud? :wtf:

He's week 7 now,... fine no strain is "Finished" in 30 day's,... but do you really think spraying "Kelp" (seaweed) and water is NOT going to effect the taste of the buds!?!? :wtf:


I'd rather smoke a "Clean" mite ripped bud than a "Cleaned up" still mite ripped bud!!!!!!!! :hippy:



SIMFER, Weigh your options before accepting any opinions offered on your final harvest.

[SIMFER]

Can I use no pest strips for 2 or 3 days and remove them again? They seams to work. Do you think chems will get in to a bud in few days. I am not spraying anything anymore on my girls, I rather harvest them not fully mature.

[WashougalWonder]

yes

[weeddaddy50]

if you care to read my first question is was "how far from finish"...I did not know he was in week 7. Is he week 7 of 8 weeks, 9 weeks, 10 weeks...it's a viable question.

I do not believe we are talking about my grow here...we are talking about how to SAVE his grow.

I believe my advise is solid for his problem with 2 to 3 weeks to go + a flushing week.....I for the life of me do not know what your #$@%$# problem with me is.....but you can always disagree....that is what makes the world go around everyone has an opinion.....

I believe this site was created for people to learn and help people...not to bash people....maybe your should go and read the TOS...."terms of service"
because clearly...you do not understand...what this site is about.

[weeddaddy50]

Seriously.....dude.....there is something wrong with you.....

the "You've supposedly got your buds under control with your methods, I'm happy for you really I am".

Comment is just amazing to me......where anywhere do I discuss my grow in this thread.....it is common knowledge that early in my grow log i got mites...and like anyone else I had to deal with that....but that is now what this thread is about.....it also not about what you and your wife want to smoke.....it about helping this guy save his grow......

Really.....I mean come on....that is what this thread is about.....

Yes, you can,.... however, consider the fact that they work by offgassing potent toxins that the plant will absorb thru natural respiration,... how long those toxins linger in the plant is up for debate.

As long as you still have time to get a good flush I don't imagine there would be a real problem, but keep up with any other methods you can use.







WeedDaddy,...... Look at the first post in the thread,.... Posted 1-14-11 said week 5 then,... it's been 2 weeks,......... do the math.


Sure if its a 10 week strain he's got 3 more weeks, but if it's an 8-9 week strain it's time to start flushing and preppin for harvest.

This is a medicinal site, and we are talking about medicine not Weed or Pot bought off of a street corner.

Mites in and of themselves when smoked in a finished bud won't make you sick, they crackle and pop and taste like shit, but wont make you sick.

The real risk of mites is they will weaken the plant's immune system leaving them open for disease, fungus, and mold, the latter two WILL make you sick if smoked or ingested.

Many of the natural sprays and tonics will effect the flavor, but not harm the user, chemicals are a crap shoot. Do they evaporate completely? or leave a residue? Do you really want to take the chance?


I want to see SIMFER pull the best quality meds he can without making himself or anyone else he might smoke up sick.


Weed; I'm in this to produce quality meds,.... not money,.... how bout you?:hippy:
