Thanks for the info. Didn’t know that. But they are working for me right now. I am 10 days away from harvest. So I think I am fine there. But IMO the best solution for spider mites during flowering.
I am battling spider mites in my current grow during flower. I used all sort of solutions to start with. I used neem seed oil, insecticidial soap, green cleaners and amazing dr. zymes. All these things actually did more harm than good since they were in the 4th week of flower when I discovered...
I have been battling spidermites for quite a while but found a perfect biological solution. I introduced ladybugs about three weeks ago and predatory mites about 2 weeks ago. I have been able to keep the mites population in check with the help of ladybugs and predatory mites. However the damn...
Also, I will suggest not to apply any kind of stress at this stage. Do not pinch or bend. You are too far down in flower. It will just add more time and a possibility of turing the plant hermie. At this stage you want to avoid any stress. Keep things as smooth as possible. I cannot stress...
From the looks of all the white hairs, you have quite a way to go. Possibly 2 weeks or more. When its done all the hairs will turn brown and most of them will reccede into the bud. Also get a jweller’s loupe and scope out the trichomes. You want most of them cloudy with a few amber in the mix...
Harvested the girl at 47 days into flower yesterday. She produced 4 big buds and 1 small bud. I am okay with that since she was grown in 1 gallon pot. Checked the trichomes, it looked ready. So decided to chop her in the fear that see would become worse because of the monster spider mites. I am...
I am also growing the same strain 1 plant. At first I thought they were snotty little plant with lots of small branches. But she is coming along nicely. She is at day 30 since the light flip. They do really smell like zkittlez, don’t they?
That makes me feel a little better. I have been battling mites since last week. This could not have come at a worse time. I have girls at various stages of flowering. One of them is at day 42 of flower and rest three are at the 4th week of flower. I have managed to get it under control. But the...

Very good question. Did you ever receive answer to this question? I am a few weeks into flower and I am fighting spider mites. Is insecticidial soap a viable solution to this problem without damaging trichomes?
I have already used it twice, yesterday and today morning. I was careful not to get it on the buds but few drops might have sipped through. I went to the hydroponics store. The guy there suggested the amazing doctor zymes. He said it was organic as well. On the bottle it says it can be used upto...
Day 22 since the flip
Just found some mites yesterday. Treated with neem seed oil. I am going to keep using it for the next week hoping to nip this problem in the bud.
