Q. My garden is infested with spider mites and only has two weeks left. Will the webbing on the buds from the mites affect the potency or have any other effect? How can I get rid of them this close to harvest?
A: You wouldn't want to eat vegetables that are covered with mites. Why would you want to smoke them? I don't know whether it's harmful to smoke them, but it certainly isn't pleasant and smells bad too. Here are some suggestions:
Spray the plants with neem oil that is certified for food plants. Neem oil is a natural insecticide and miticide that comes from a tree and is available over the internet.
Many races of mites are resistant to pyrethrum but some populations are devastated by it. Pyrethrum foggers and sprays are available at most nurseries. Pyrethrum is a natural miticide/insecticide produced from chrysanthemum-type plants.
Mites have a habit of moving toward the top of the plant. After harvest, turn the branches upside down to eliminate some of the mites because they will move to the top and can be removed.
