    The guy in that video is just sharing his experience, and many people will confuse plants issues with a potential mite problem that doesn't exist if you see what I mean?

    You can spray them if you wish to be on the safe side, but just be aware that there is a possibility it might not solve the issues you've been facing if it turns out not to be caused by this mite
    Yes thanks mate I will go and get one just to deal with whatever is on them ...I know ive seen some of those 2 dot spider mites and eggs on the leaves ..bottom ones anyway so they need something but im goin to have a proper look for some of those other buggers as ive been havin the same issues over an over with my plants and ive tried most things ppl such as yourself have mentioned and it still kept going ...I think ive a grip on whatever that issue was as most things don't look to bad but ….its normally around this stage lately I start seeing issues ...but im in coco to this time so its all new to me ice lol....I will stick some photos up in a bit once im settled n that ...an once ice had a good look ...just hope if it was them they went up the hoover pipe as I hoovered the shit out of them ...stems an leaves up the pipe the other day so im thinkin most things went outside in the bin bag...was a rough approach but it must of helped lol

    Hey Hoodwimked, man youve had it tough eh! So you reckon spider mites n eggs and possibly russet mites too?

    Little fuckers man....

    Right ok if this is the case then you will need something for the leaves, like the bug spray mentioned and something for the top layers of coco and roots area, tanlin is what i use to kill any nasties around roots and i used neem oil on the leaves, but had to do it 3 times and still i had mites, so maybe best thing is go to your grow shop and buy a fogger and set your tent up and all the kit inside and let it off, but not with kids in the house ok mate, make sure you remove all you can from the plants also......infact try and get the fogger bombs that you can leave your plants in with.


    The last few runs of mine have not been as good and this was down to mites and thrips. I bombed the house lol i like saying that and sealed all cracks and holes to the groom. so far so good, but im ready waiting with my sprayer ffs.....Glad to hear you got the coco, now you do have ec and ph meters yeah?


    And another little tip - leave whatever you put outside out there now, do not cross contaminate any kit, plants, coco , nothing ok lad....I suspect you are picking them up from your garden, so you may wanna get several bottles of bug killer and go to town outsde, find any plants outsidfe that look to be harbouring them, ie vines wieteria etc/

    what I did prior to the bombing was took the plants one by one into the bathroom an sat there n litrally dusted all the leaves one by one with a paint brush to try an get rid of the eggs ...took fuckin hrs I was well stressed after ...then I used a bug spray on them from wilkinsons was only a pound I couldn't actually find the red bug one ice / smoby but it was similar just a rose n ...ang on
