im sorry to.. differ with you, sir, .. but you are the caretaker.. you have always been the caretaker..

errr what i meant to say is:

a) healthy plants dont repel spidermites. spidermites LOVE healthy plants. the healthier the plants, the more plant juice they can suck and the faster they procreate

b) the spider mite predators, i tried those on about 5 occasions in different circumstances - THEY NEVER EVER WORK. forget about them. they eat a few mites and then they die. you will have to maintain the PERFECT climate for them to do their job and reproduce. and even then they dont reproduce as fast as the spider mites, so you'll have your room infested no matter what

what helped in my case was a whole boatload of pyrethrum and turning the fan off and letting it sink in for a whole day so that it would kill at least the live animals, and then a systemic agent for the eggs. i didnt care much at this point if they were eligible for human consumption, i just wanted to get rid of those things

i got the spider mites bad...should i fight them or cull everything and start anew?
everything has them..

The last time I had them, was last summer. I was working on the flowering room, so I was only vegging. Here's what I did.

I culled my mother plants down to the bare minimum, and kept what strains I wanted as little mothers in beer cups.
I washed and cleaned the floors and walls of room, and bleach mopped everywhere else I could.
I attached a spray hose to a water line which isn't softened at my utility sink. I gave the mother plants a complete shower tops
and bottoms of leaves twice a day for a week and a half. Anything which looked like eggs under jewelers loop, got squished.
I haven't seen them since.

Borg hate showers! There's only room for one dirty hippie around here, me.

Give them enough showers, and they'll look at you like you're the fucking Borg.
Ya gotta give it to them worse than they give it to you.

if nothing is in flower, you might be in better shape
i did fight the little pricks in flower, though it was only one plant
i got rid of them, and did harvest some worthwhile bud, but they did take their toll

How about Ivermectin.
You can possibly even buy out off date stock from local vets, farmers or dog breeders.

well ended up culling some plants..i did keep the ecsd n bubba..hope they come back around..still spraying every 3 rd day and cleaned everything and every roon with bleach..
the flower room is a real pia to get rid of them in..i think i beat them in veg and mom rooms, i think...
thx for everything..doing my best, but it can be so damn frustrating..

groady-ho · 07-19-2012, 11:08 PM

also, i just don't think spider miites are the only things wrong..the damge has become extensive and destructive very fast..either way i feel like i'm losing the battle..

groady-ho · 07-20-2012, 04:45 PM

this might sound a bit off. maybe..best i can figure is that i brought something in from the outside, under my fingernails, on my skin, clothes, the grapes or veggie garden, who knows..pest are really bad this yr. ,.. this kinda thing has never happened before, in all these yrs...everything was a breeze, no pests, plant probs of any kind..i was always so cautious about cross contamination...

live and learn and learn i have, thanks to y'all here @ icmag..hope all of you never encounter anything like this..shit just went to hell crazy fast.
