I have a new strategy I will try next time I get them. I haven't had any for more than 3 years so odds are I will have a chance to test it sooner or later.

I would create a decoy, or sacrificial grow in a small tent adjacent to my grow tents.
In it I would just perpetual veg a single plant. I would keep the humidity really low in there.

If I got mites, I would dial up the humidity in the grow tents and open the flaps so the bastards refugee terrorists could flood into the decoy tent for asylum. George Soros might even help.

i'm 3 weeks from harvest n just released 500 ladybugs in my tent 6days ago- not sure how many still alive, tho i do see some flyin/walking. i see no webbin, tho do see the dreaded spots on the leaves- i have cut some damaged leaves and examined under a scope n do see a few bastards still alive... tho not tooo many... i'm hoping to keep em at bay, and then i'll nuke the bastards... and they are bastards

to be honest I've not had them since I started using a descent intake filter.

Plenty of ways to take care of the issue without harming the plants, smoke, or people consuming the smoke...

Green Cleaner, Nuke Em, PFR-97, are some of the ones that come to mind. A combination of green cleaner or Nuke Em with PFR-97 will annihilate them.

Make sure your environment isn't their ideal environment for their reproduction.

Predators take time to order and even more time to become established. They are better applied at early stages of infestation and not mid flower.

DE will hardly effect the leaf underside.

If you are seeing damage top to bottom, you're not far off from writing off the whole crop.

Spray the BBG twice at 15-20ml per litre, three days apart. Intense lighting may cause burn (as will too many sprays).

Spray clean water twice, very heavily, in the following week.

good luck getting those mites with whatever u can!

on the side here I was attacked by a new Flea.

yes..sticktight fleas.

i had trapped out some rats because of cold temps here they got in digging under a wall and nested by the grow area,

IT HAS BEEN A NEW INSECT EXPERIENCE WITH THESE RARE FLEAS.

not quite over yet but after using D.E. borax s methoprine Nyguard Neem oil IGR'S.. etc..etc.. washing clothes 2 times day with bedding once a day it has been a long MONTH.

I have never..never had fleas like this even when i had pets!

yeah have used it to control them, works good, the early you get them, the easier it is to get rid of them

OP how did you get the mites? personally I'm not praying anything on my buds or smoking bug shit ewww I would just figure out how they got there and reboot my grow.

How bad is your infestation? How long have you been able to see leaf stipling? All this " your crop is doomed" shit is crazy. Maybe if they have gotten as far as in that video, yes. But not for sure.

[Wendull C.]

The grower that ran that room in that video mustve been bed ridden to let them get that bad. That takes weeks or more to web tops like that.
