please help think spider mite

well im into week 8 of my grow which i am doing for my hubby but i think we have spider mite under the leaf are little brown things is there anything i can do thank you

Yes definitely looks like bug damage, flip a leaf over and look at the bottom and look for little greyish speckles and see if they move.

Looks bad my man, i dunno what to tell ya, too late in the game to try any remedies at this point.

so do i try and harvest now or has it had it thank you

under the leaf of my plant

Ya I can def see some shit goin on. looks like they have been there for a bit too, see if you can find any webbing.

I would mist them with water and a tiny bit of mild dish soap at the most once or twice and then mist with just water everyday until harvest to keep the population of them to a minimum. Be sure to shake them off a little to avoid mold and rot on the bud from water though.

can not see any webs when i wipe the leaf with my finger brown like dust is on my finger

Is this your only plant?

mightywash is safe to use, pyrethum is safe within 12 hrs of harvest and works very well, and some ppl have had good luck with pepper juice (i havn't tried that one). hth

yes it is my only plant

welp, looks like you have a bit of work ahead of you if you'd like to attempt saving her. They love hiding in the buds.

Btw try and get a scope to view these suckers if you plan on going out anyways to get some solution to treat her.

Pluck the damaged leaves. Use a shop vac to get the eggs and adults that are in the colas

^^^^^^^ Yep, theres a good youtube video of a dude vacuuming his whole plant, worth finding and watching.

I can speak on behalf of the habanero pepper spray. I bought 10 peppers from Safeway, diced them up and let simmer in hot water for 20 minutes. After it cooled, I began spraying my plants (allllll over). After a week, I've all but eliminated them from one of my plants, and am noticably winning the battle with the other. The leaves are healing and looking good. The plants don't seem to mind the habanero spray at all.

Thank you for the replays are they the same as scotch bonnets

Oh man, that's brutal. It's your only girl, so it makes things difficult. Me personally, I'd chalk it up to learning, and throw her away. We've all been there, it's really a shame. I don't see how you could ever completely get rid of them, or there webs & eggs entirely, Some of that stuff is locked in the buds depending on how long it's been going on for. It's not the worst I've seen, but you don't wanna be smoking that shit.

Im sure you know, but a little neem oil and soap spray under the leaves every now and then will keep these fuckers away.

goodluck man

Yes, they are from the same family. And when you boil them DO not breath near the steam or it will choke the crap outta you. Them peppers are hot, hot , hot
