Help with spider mites.

MATTYMATT726 · May 30, 2016

First grow, 30 days old in soil and just saw tiney white bugs in my soil and inside and out of my air pots. Saw a few on my first set of small leaves when she breaks seeds. I don't have any income to spend on pest sprays, so how can i get rid of them before they damage my plants?

If you can, get some neem oil and see if that works.

Humm so when there is webbing and the mites are running around what am i seeing a flea circus?

You have more than just mites if you see bugs in the soil popping up you gotta spend money on sprays or beneficial bugs never have had much luck with the diy home remedies

Some you can.

I could see the ones I had.

I double checked under a 60-100x scope to make sure.

I use captain jacks spinosad.

Use as a foilar and systemic.

For veg ONLY, hot shots are hard to beat. Very thorough.

You can see spider mites with the naked eye but they look like little brown/black specs its very hard to see the spider/mite figure without a loupe, however if you can tell that they look like spiders without a loupe then that is some extremly good vision or some big ass mites.
Look at the webbing, short webs like 1-2" long from top cola to top cola sugar leaf then its probably mites which would already show the feeding marks on the leaves.

What would you use?

qballizhere · May 30, 2016

Spider Mites were mentioned for them i would use http://www.evergreengrowers.com/mit...ethorus-punctillum-spider-mite-destroyer.html to get rid of the mites but I dont think he has spider mites I would use as a preventitive http://www.evergreengrowers.com/amblyseius-fallacis-in-vermiculite.html and http://www.evergreengrowers.com/mit...l/phytoseiulus-persimilis-on-bean-leaves.html in veg at least 10 days before flower it could be
ROOT APHIDS (Pemphigus populivenae) or BROAD MITES, HEMP RUSSET MITES, & ERIOPHYID MITES (Polyphagotarsonemus latus, Aculops cannabicola, & Aceria anthocoptes)

Would need pictures to have a better idea

I have tried several natural solutions & they don't compare to hot shots to get rid of an infestation.

qballizhere · May 31, 2016

depends on the bug you have for mites nothing is better than http://www.evergreengrowers.com/mit...ethorus-punctillum-spider-mite-destroyer.html will wipe them out have used them as late as week 5 in flower. I would suggest using fallacis and persimilis as a preventative in veg. You may need to apply more than once, a week or 2 apart from each other.

MATTYMATT726 · May 31, 2016

These are whats there. Not on plant yet.

MATTYMATT726 · May 31, 2016

They are on inside of pot as well. Saw them on dirt so spread perlite on top untill i figured out what to do.

Joe Blows Trees · Jun 1, 2016

Those look similar to the ones I had on my freshly harvested worm castings.

qballizhere · Jun 1, 2016

do look like mites from that pic i would use 100 http://www.evergreengrowers.com/mit...ethorus-punctillum-spider-mite-destroyer.html
also persimilis and fallacis in veg may have to add them a second time
