You'd have to find the right predator to match temperature and humidity, but wouldn't you like to see this happen to all of those damn spider mites, with no detriment to your plants?

Sirius, i need to look at filtering the intake again, i had some horticultural fleece over the passive intake before but got rid of it(the extractor was shit)...will get some more tommorow and put it on. Predators for mites ive tryed before, too hot for ladybirds, last time they all jumped in a cup of water(put in to raise the RH) commiting suicide in the process...the mite preds dont like the 12/12 and only breed in veg cycle indoors...want some for my greenhouse though..:chin:

Fj, will look into that, thanks man....:D:yes:

Hey D.Fingaz, what'a gwan.:D:yes:

Have tried that stuff before, they got immune pretty quick after a few applications, i think it would work better if the infestation wasnt as bad..:chin:

Thanks for the heads up though..:D :joint:

Wow :jawdrop: , that's some big looking colas for only 35 days bro, real nice :canabis: , hopefully you manage to get them mites under control as well man, do you think it would work if you were to cut a smallish square out of a sponge, wet it and squeeze most of the water off, then wash the tops and underside of each of the bigger leaves? :chin: , or maybe instead of plain water make up a solution of that Spider-mite control to use with the sponge, i think it would get a good few of the mites off but not sure if it would be ok with you being in full flower?, i found out that thrips hate that SMC as well :yes: , when i sprayed the cheese clone i sprayed the top of the compost as well incase there were any mites or eggs on the top of the compost and 1 of those thrips jumped straight out, stumbled then died a minute later :rasta:

Peace

Spose i could sponge them with neem, then burn a load more baccy...cool idea man!! :joint:

(They are said to finish quick, so should be well developed at 30days...lots of brown hairs on the lower buds...also have been feeding them guanos and mollasses, lots of P + K...notice the burned leaves...:muahaha:)

The plants are still looking beautiful. Are those the ones that have been pollinated, or weren't there any that were? It seems like there was some pollination happening for seeds... :chin:

Cant upload pics, have taken some harvest shots of Pheno#1...(chopped yesterday at 14days 12/12, she could have gone a day or two more, but a couple of her tops were burnt..)..the wuickest of the five, also the lowest yeilding. :joint:
