just let them finish the last week. Are the webbing the tops yet? If so cut now. Your fine eather way... Get no pest strips that will kill them quick.

Dont worry than you know when you have a bad spider mite problem and yours isn't one. However if you have clones ready to go you will have a problem and need to spray the new ones with neem and clean your grow real good.

ok thank you i jus want this grow to finish!! there spreading fast tho lol. i kno my hindu skunk should go about 63 days. so we will have to see. how doesnt that make sense. there right next to the buds so im sure they can get cozy inside the bud. cms from where they are. neem oil you can spray on. i have to many plants to want to sit there and rub on the leaves so i dont get on the buds? if u dont want to help dont make a comment. if you have helpful advice be my guess. i read a forum with a guy saying dont spray on the buds if your close to harvest cause the smell and im sure the taste of neem oil.

Agree with these guys. However if they start to get out of control can use 3 to4 drops of Ivory dishsoap in a medium spray bottle mixed with clean water, to brieftly nail 'em. If the infest is bad you might have to use a couple more drops per. Also spray everywhere up and down. Sometime two application might be necassary. Also above all else, once sprayed DO NOT put under lights for a least an hour or more. (when the leaves on the bottom of the plant feel nice and dry, you can then)It's cheap, effective and usually not to hard to get going on it. Sprayings every three to ten days will be necassary if'n eggs have been laid. Good Luck!

whatever you use just be sure to give them a rinse a bit after after the application. you'll be glad you did.
