    Mites...two wks to harvest. Please help.

    Seal the room, no exhaust for a couple of days, so watch your temps. Not a constant user but I have put one hanging in each plant I was trying to save. Might help to be selective and spread them out to not touching.

    This might work, never tried it. Mites travel somewhat up the plant(a lot in the top bud), was told to hang string from above with sticky trap, then a string to touching the top of bud, mites(at least spider mites) will climb to trap. Have seen it work for fellow ranger.:jointsmile:

    Thank you so much for the help. Sorry for sounding dumb, but sticky trap, do you mean those sticky fly traps, that you pull out from the cardboard and hang?

    Well, those will do, but he was probably referring to yellow sticky trap that are used for Fungus gnats.
    Bu,t you can make your own with a tub of Tanglefoot and some cardboard.
    Could probably use honey in a pinch.

    That's good advice from Tlranger.

    Instructions for the strip use are on the package.
    Do not put the in close contact with the plant.
    One strip will kill all bugs in a room that size.
    So, put one strip in the center of each room.
    Preferably at the same time

    Air the room out with your exhaust fan before entering.
    And after 3 days, seal the strip in a ziplock bag for a couple of days, then repeat.
    when they are all dead, wrap the strip in "turkey bag" or seal it in a mason jar and pop it in the freezer.
    One strip will last a long time that way.

    If you just leave the strip hanging, it will eventually lose effectiveness, (about a month), and that's how mites acquire resistance.
    Once that happens, we're all screwed.

    And anytime you ask, "is that available in Canada?"
    The answer, is Online shopping!

    Speaking of Canada.
    I have to wonder if taking the girls for walk outside would freeze dem mites before harming the plants.
    Mites do like it warm.
    Can't try that here without a walk-in freezer, yah?

    I can't thank you's all enough for your help. I have the rooms sealed up, and now fingers crossed. I just stepped into the veg room to check the temp. While there, I took a leaf from one of my ladies and examined it closely. I can't see any bugs or eggs on this leaf, I was thinking that was good, maybe the veg ladies didn't have them too bad. But then I saw the roads on the underside of the leaf. Are they caused by spider-mites! It does not look good.

    Yes.
    Sort of.
    That pic was too low res. for these old eyes
    Almost looks like there's some leafminer damage as well.
    No matter, the NPS will take out thrips, and leaf-miners are a minor pest.

    Just received my OGbiowar package.
    'bout to make a pre-emptive strike.

    Thrips, leaf miners...what next?? I did suspect the leaf minor when I looked at the image magnified. Sorry the pic' wasn't any clearer. Attached is an image of what I believe to be a thrip, am I correct? Also still curious as to the species of spider-mite that I have. They appear to have a black body, cream colored head. The body is not spotted like the 2 spot. I can't seem to find it in my search online.

    Those fuzzy, whited out, blobs do look vaguely, like thrips.

    You need to buy yourself a decent camera,
    Christmas is coming up, time to start hinting.

    Please edit your signature in the name of accuracy.
    Cannabis extracts inhibit the formation of new blood vessels, not cells.
    It is an antiangiogenic.

    As for the mites, are they reddish?
    If not, do they move fast?

    The speedy ones are predator mites.

    Quick test?
    Brush some onto the back of your hand and wait a while.
    Predators, bite!

    Russet and two spotted mites are sapaterians and they move slowly when they are not sucking sap.
    They all look dead. It that the case?

    Yes I know a better camera is needed. If possible, I think next time I'll try my 7D. Another issue I'm having in taking a good shot is that I'm using LED lights, terrible for the camera. The magnifier I'm using is a Carson 30x, not all that they claim. I can see the bugs move during magnification, not sure if I would consider them fast. As I said, they have black bodies and beige/cream colored head. I've only ever seen the red ones, not these. I will look to see their progress (living/dead) . What is a predator mite, are they harmful to the plant as well?

    What do you mean edit my signature?

    Once again thank you all for all of your assistance and suggestions.
