Wolf spiders have taken over my grow tent! HALP

**Growqueen420** · 28-03-21, 10:11 PM

So currently my grow is about half way done. 2/7 of my plants have gone into flowering and things are looking great! However my tent is crawling with "Garden wolf spiders" This is a large hairy garden spider that can grow as wide as 4 inches and up to an inch in length. Its legs can extend outwards to about 1 ½ inches. These spiders are quite aggressive and can run extremely fast after their prey. ... They sleep during the day and hunt at night.
there's been a few times when i've had to reach into the tent to water the girls at the back row and my hand has been inches from one of these things and i haven't even known about it.
There are pros and cons to having a wolf spider infestation Pro = They hunt moths, grasshoppers and white flies. Cons = They scare the living fuck out of me. How will i harvest my plants if they're crawling with stoned arachnids that want to devour me. Has anyone had a problem like this before??

Since your mid grow...go glue traps and hunt them every day with the vacuum.

In-between grows....I'd look into a pest control specialist or learn how to do yourself

As a home brewer, anything that eats flies is my friend.

I wouldn't mind having a few Huntsman spiders as house pets.

I don't mind spiders at all as like said they eat flies and I hate flies

bike ride they are in your mouth. BBQ and the wee cunts are all round ya. Mind you I wouldn't like fast spiders tho.
I'd be hand watering with chainmail gloves on

As they don't spin web, I would leave the buggers to fend off any nasties that may pop in... Although they can bite, there not poisonous..

Well, as someone who has a tent in the bedroom and a chronic fear of spiders, this HAS been a great thread.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd sell the house.
