Infested

[Stomper420]

I have mites and bad. Ive tried the home made brew with garlic/hot peppers and tobasco. Ive tried the no pest strips. Ive tried wiping every leave I could with soapy water to squish the eggs and now Im triing Rasta Bobs death mite. We will see what gives. But wow, these things are fucking ugly and give me the creeps under the scope. Any other bright ideas? I kinda like the shop vac idea but I need to get a new filter for mine but will do. Im thinking if that works Ill just vac them everyday till I get um under control. Any ways Ill kleep yea posted as to whats up.

Why me lord, Im a good guy?

Probably not much you can do except harvest, the buggers will leave a dead plant.

Next read my spider mite thread.

You got them because you didn't prepare and take simple measures. A little of the right stuff in veg goes a long way in flower, and also to use pesticides around the grow room corners/edges

Yupp, I got lazy and didnt stay on top of things. Very important I know. Just that some times I hurt so bad I dont even get out of bed so thats the price I pay I guess.

So, being 1/2 way through flower do you think I should let ir ride out and see or pull um? Some plants are doing better then others. I think Ill let um ride and just stay on top of it the best I can.

Thanks for your input buddy, take care!!

Weekly sprayings of neem oil have worked to minimize them for me. Never gets rid of them, but knocks 'em down pretty good. I am going to be pulling the room apart, sterilizing, perimeter spraying, DrDoom fog the hell out of it, etc. Sucks to have down-time in the room, but what can you do.

[Stomper420]

Im gonna try the vac thing here and see how that works. I dont wanna loose my buds.

Yes he can use neem, but it is slow long term, his time frame is short, neem will taste nasty if used within the last 4 weeks. The problem is the left over eggs. They will hatch and continue the cycle, which at this point is where the Neem breaks the cycle.

If you get webs, give up

I do understand the too much pain to get outta bed. Neem is not something you need to use every day, once a week is fine in a stable garden.

I dont realy see webs so maybe its not as bad as I thought. Just lots of eggs and every leave I look at seems to have adults. So, with that said.Ill just keep smashing um...Gonna go and get the filter and some bug spray today if the wife will help me. Lets see if I can get a pick up so you guys can see my worries. They changed the process so its harder now.

Thanks for the help guys, great as always. Ill keep yea posted.
Have an awsome day
