hmmmmmmmmm? very interesting question.. can plants surrvive that..?

is this a method you are thinking about using in between harvests?

smb.. i will check around..

best question I have heard all year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trinity]

YES, THEY CAN SURVIVE IT. THE SMOKE IS A BIT HARSHER, BUT NO LESS POTENT. BUT I HAVE TO DRY FAST ANYWAY. I LIVE TO CLOSE TO "IN TOWN" IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I DID NOTICE THAT A MOST OF THEM SEEM TO BE CRAWLING UP TO WHERE THE STALKS ARE TIED TOGETHER UPSIDEDOWN, AND MAKING A LITTLE WEB AT THE TIPS. BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE ALL CONGREGATING LIKE BUDDIES. ANY HELP ABOUT THE HEAT THING WOULD BE GREAT. OR OTHER INPUT ON THIS. THANKS!!!

increase humidity they absorb too much liquid and pop, and as far as high temps and weed I personally feel too high a temp will make plant shut down, but i'm stoned

I DRY IN THE ATTIC OF MY HOME. SO WOULD A HUMIDIFIER WORK, LIKE WHAT YOU WOULD PLUG IN AND USE IF YOU HAD A COLD W/ A STUFFY NOSE???? NEED ANSWERS FAST PLEASE!!! THANKS!!

well, the sure way to put an end to them is to lower the temp.. lower it below 65... keep a fan on your plants, they will still dry fast..

there is a chance that 110 degrees will only perpetuate the mite problem..
I read somewher that mites at 70 degrees multply 10 fold a day.. mites at 85 degrees multiply at 1000 per day.. yikes.. so 110 may be a paradise...

if you increase humidity you are running a serious chance of getting mold....arghh

good point gnome, I use pyrithiam? bombs neem oil, soapy water

[Garden Knowm]

Your bombing a plant that is already harvested? won;t that poison get into your ungs when you smoke?

I think your better off just smoking the mites.. hehhehehe

good luck and let us know what happened?

thanks

no now hang on, I bomb early, 2 times 72hrs apart before bud, has anyone ever smoked a bowlload of mites? after I bomb I try to stay on top of it with my spray bottle, i've been lucky and not had any horrific mite infestations. back to the bowload of mites maybe they are the future...bubble bags, screw u, I got MITES

[Garden Knowm]

OH thanks for the clarification... : )
People have smoked mites, mold, fungus and KACK...

You name it, it has been smoked... ask turtle, he is writing a book on SMOKING all of the above mentioned... : ) LOL
