    Default white widow problems

    Hi guys .. a couple of weeks ago I posted on here about my 2 gals having spidermite on them ..
    Well that was when they was outside, I covered them in canna cure and they seemed to disapear
    4 days ago I thought they'd got to the size I want them and finally had my setup ready,so I bought them inside and put them in my tent.

    Now they look like they have come back ? Also the leave stems have started going purple ? Has anybody experienced this before ?
    I went to my local shop and they recommended I use Dr schimel spidermite terminator
    I sprayed them last night and I can't see any mites now so hopefully they've finally gone for good!

    My ph is 5.5 and I'm using co co cana a +b in coco pro

    Any help appreciated thanks

    Purple stems are a natural trait on some strains mate I wouldn't worry about it. The mites are the main issue your facing you need to make sure they are completely eradicated...

    Spider mites can be a real pain in the arse to deal with as they build immunity so quickly. You can get lucky and wipe them out in a couple of treatments, outside this is highly unlikely. Try this mate from memory he didnt mention pyrethrum which will also kill them on contact. Remember they live under foliage.

    Not so bad indoors M_C, outdoors can be a real nightmare. Ive been battling them here for months outside treat one crop they move to another and back again etc. I cant use pyrethrum or any non discriminatory treatment as Ive got so many beneficial insects sharing the garden... grrr. Im waiting on some predatory mites as we speak but they aint cheap.
