Spider-mites in flowering phase, what to do?

[tekneeqs]

What can I do to kill spider-mites if the plant is 5 weeks into the flowering phase? or does the bud's resin protects it from those mites?

I wish you could get those in the UK. I had to order in some predators.

also sold in the USA as the 'Hot Shot' brand, commonly sold in grocery stores, and hardware stores, roughly $7, last for 5 months ... I place mine in the same room as my grow, but not in the cabinet, itself ... :smokin:

Hi IMAGE!

How are they working for you IMAGE? did you have mites? And are they completely gone?

enquiring minds want to know...
?

hey, Knowm-dude ! ... fortunately, I've never had spider mites, however ... I gave a couple clones to a friend, and he got infested with them (he suspects his dog may have brought them into the house) ... Neem oil pretty much did nothing for him ??, but the Hot Shot strip made them disappear quickly ... being an insecticide, I don't recommend putting them too close to the plants, I have one hanging in the same room, but not in the cabinet, itself ... so far, so good ... I figure if they can't live in the same room, they can't crawl into the grow cabinet ... same room I have my computer desk in, and I haven't shown too many signs of serious brain damage (yet) ... ... (some here would argue that brain damage comment) ... :smokin:

That late you don't have time for the little fly traps to work. You can either use Hot pepper way spray that may work but the problem with spider mites are the eggs. You should use a Pyrethrum Fogger, yes you are in flower but you still have 3 weeks or more left to go so there is time to use a good fogger.

It's your choice dude, You can get one here

Smoking spider mites sucks, they pop when you burn them and tast like crap in good weed.

Good luck.

There was a HUGE argument about those pest strips a while ago - I don't have them though, but I saw some article in this magazine about them.
