im a new gardener beginng first of this year i have just gotten over spider mites on my diesel ryders. had gnats on kalimists and i hope this is just parinoiya and no problem

started one White O G Kush, one Fire O G Kush Dom, one lemon larry OGK X chemdawg D,and one old skool OGK S1 fem.

but are these tiny white spots an issue do they mean anything are they going to turn into a problem or what these are some serious elite genetics gear i want them to do fine

MUCH thanks to all with input
 
It looks to me like you haven't got rid of your spider mites mate. They are easy to control in veg though. Neem and eco friendly dish soap is all you need.
 
they are hard to see at first with the naked eye, you need a magnifier and they will be on the underside of your leaves. The damage on the leaves is what you will usually notice first with mites. Those spots on the leaves look like mite damage to me.

Agreed!

Since I myself have had an infestation (wasn't too bad), I had been doing as much research as possible on mites. Something that nobody has mentioned, and *definitely* has me curious - why do they seem to attack some strains and leave others alone...and I mean NONE on one plant sitting right next to the one that had the mites? Is this an oddity? Even after the one with the mites was removed (harvested about 10 days early, as couldn't treat so far along in flower) I KNOW there still had to be a few mites in the grow room, yet they never took up residence in the other plants. Has anybody else had a similar experience?

(to OP) Sorry for asking this in your thread, but since you have them on your plants, this would possibly be of interest to you as well.
In your case, they are much easier to treat in veg -VS- flower.
Products to try:
Floramite
Spinosad
Avid
Spray Safe (a Canadian product?)
Einstein Oil (a neem oil product)
 
i heard that just put some tobacco into water for half day and then spray that water under the leaves... so they die... :P
 
is true about tobaco plus dish detergent plus pepper

well dont know if it works but did hear of it in my search took neem oil approach

sprayed first time said to spray again in 3 days instead i dunked it burnt up bugs leaves all the little white hairs (i forgot the name of them) were burnt to a crisp like poster before said one had one did not i treated both one without should be seeded i hope she produces if if nothing smokable its OK life will go on but i hope beans do fine

choped 3 kalimist 2 weeks ago and a snow white couple days sgo got more diesel ryder beans from seed run on my second grow attept so not going to sweat to much

out of all products mentioned are any of them that much better then einstein oil a neem soap product

THANKS GUYS FOR TWO OF YOU NOT SAYING WHO REPS IN THE MAIL

Snow White was my first ever grow, it's on here somewhere, hence my name. I loved that plant, beuatiful it was. I will grow it again one day for sure. Very easy to grow.

So, back to the mites. Are you're plants quite small and in veg? You could try dunking them? You mix up a neem/dish soap mix, as if you were spraying, but then turn the plant upside down and dunk it. It gets total coverage, kills any mites and will wash off their eggs. This kind of treatment can only really be done on small clones or vegging plants. If they're too big, spray them, but make sure you coat the underside of the leaves.

Spray safe if very good shit, but is kinda pricey. Recommended though. It's neem based as well, you can tell from the smell of it.

Good luck with your battle against the mites. They are little fuckers. Check my current journal for how I try to keep them at bay. No sign of them yet, fingers crossed.
