Spider Mites

[Redeyesblazin]

I tried natural preds which worked one one plant but not on the other. Using spray now but planning on putting it on 4-5 days apart. That way the eggs will hatch but won't have time to lay any more before they get covered in some lovely toxic liquid - i'll keep u all posted on progress

I have had great success with vapona strips!
I was using soap..sprays..crystals..lol
I hung a vapona strip in my motherbox..and I can't find a single mite since...
The eggs hatched..the mites died..they are gone..and I didn't have to do anything...

Hey neighbor... Oregon here...
I did try that sort of method.. But those damn eggs never die. And I swear as soon as they hatch they are laying more eggs.
Controling them is one thing... Getting them completely out is another.
Unfortunataly I own a dog. I could have killed them all and my dog tracks more in.
Am allowed 9 plants blooming with my permit. As you can see with pic. It's a cramped fit...
I need a bigger grow box so I can get completely around the plants to spray DAILY...
By doing so 3 weeks before harvest I can stop the spray...
sure am getting tired of dealing with them though... and these aren't the common spider mites... These fuckers are amune to most common spider mite sprays.
thanks for the sound advice though.. Really appreciate it.

Hey neighbor... Oregon here
I also live in the area but I am afraid you might have interpreted
the law wrong. As of 1/1/06 the amendments to SB 1085 are as follows:
1. You are allowed 6 mature plants (raised from 3 not added to)
2. 18 seedlings to 12" x 12" and not flowering
3. And 24 oz of useable marijuana, collectively. ( they also count your mature plants as useable when almost mature.

I was told all this by a person in law. There seems to little flexability here so be carefull!!!

I dont know why vapona strips would work on mites if they are for flying insects.

since mites live in the medium you could put it on the stem to prevent climbers. one love

here is a recipe

SPIDER MITES

â?¢ 28 grams table salt

â?¢ 4.5 liters of water

Shake well and spray liberally over plant surface and underside of leaves, or

â?¢ Steep 2 cloves of crushed garlic in 1 litre of water for 24 hours

Strain. Do not dilute. Spray on plants no more than twice a week (also works on aphids and scale mites.)

I don't get it...
Well, logic tells me these new age spider mites are amune to everything.
And what kills them don't kill the eggs. All it takes is one egg and a few days before mites will reappear.
Came to the conclusion that a spider mite EGG killer is needed.
Any Ideas????
btw... I have tried just about every product out on the market along with home brews... It controls them but don't eliminate them.
I have tore my grow chambers apart and bleached everything before starting again and ta da... Here they come again...
Never had this problem in my 30 years of growing pot. Couple of sprays of garlic/soap/vinegar and there gone!
So... Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
