Spidemites :(

[AND]

Well, the ones I could see before the sprayfest began are all 100% dead, Am using this and it seems to work and is ok for edibles, another go in a couple of days

Also I’m shocked that anyone can let the plants get to the stage of webbing without noticing mites ffs, where’s the ipm people.
You need to scope your plants regularly and always remember the prevention blah blah believe it or not it fuckin works

There was one small web right at the base of a leaf low down on the plant, thought hadn't even crossed my mind, never grown anything before so 'anyone' was shocked too tbh

This late in flower?????

Two points of concern when spraying in mid to late flower. One is bud rot and the other is the worry of contamination of the product we intend to smoke with chemicals. A light misting won’t cause bud rot as long as the ventilation is good and you can keep the humidity below 50%... The spores that cause bud rot need around 10 days to germinate, they usually settle and germinate between the buds as they are developing, as the buds tightened they become trapped which provides them with an ideal environment to do their nastiness. I’ve never seen bud rot start from the outside its always encapsulated then works it’s way out..

Floramite and Avid have a relatively short half life so if your concerned about smoking chems then it’s as safe as anything other pesticides on the market but very effective. I believe they where approved for use on food crops in the states but withdrew due to the mites becoming resident to them, we don’t have that issue here yet..

My groom has plenty of leaves and dirt. I clean every few months. If you are starting with a sterilized room then the Spider mites come from outside the room. I believe that prevention is all about not letting them ever get into the room in the first place. I have not had spider mites in years.

Not sure if I would call that chemical "okay for edibles" EFSA report page 9 makes it sound like something that I do not want to smoke or eat.

If you want to find the report search with the active ingredient name. Not the product name.

Worst is when you think you got them and they are really just hiding and dormant. When the environment becomes uninhabitable this is exactly what they do. I emptied out everything and truly sterilized deep to get rid of them.

10am this morning (lights of at 9.30), fan off, everything was drowned, both tents, all 5 plants, pots, trays, the room, and me, fan on again and left in the dark until 9.30pm tonight. Another one planned for Saturday, cheer Capt.

I didn't even know I could get them until 12.02am this morning

I wonder what the carcasses of dead spidermites smoke like, guess I'll find out soon enough...

Just the sound of them popping makes the weed taste bad mentally. Then the actual taste of smoking bugs... gross. Tried it once. Never again.
