what r these critters?

anyone tell me what these are it seems my jack hera clones are infested with them an we are into the first 2 weeks of flowering. what can i do?

they r spiders
pesticides will kill them
the leave on ur plants r gettin holes in them
right?

To be more precise they appear to be spider mites. Bad little buggers. They suck the life out of your plant and create nasty holes, and make filthy webs. Hard to get rid of too. Sorry man. Good luck!

I've had excellent results w/pyrethrum-based spray. Soak plant, let dry. Repeat 2-3 weeks later for egg disposal. Used up to day of harvest on veggies. Non-toxic to pets once dry. My brand is called "Eight". You can rinse this stuff off if that bugs you, after infestation is resolved. Make sure the mites have reached your buds before soaking them w/this.
In my experiences, mites invade from the bottom/middle upwards. Concentrate your efforts there?

Triazicide, works for me. Apply it once every two months...

Spidermites..you need neem oil, or you can make a spray..soak 2 cigarettes overnight in 1/2 cup water..boil for 3 min. (kills a strain of tabac fungus) add a couple of drops of dish soap & spray undersides of leaves... BE VERY CAREFUL..this shit is a poison..so no pets, no touching liquid...etc.. also remove the top 1 or 2" of soil and replace.. good luck..they suck big time..

pyrethrin is all of the above cheers guys. my girls are doin fine now. cant get rid altogether though so its just a matter of keeping the numbers down i suppose? thankooooos xxx

After a year of killing bugs....Pure Spray is my fave....OMRI listed, and the only thing you need to manage is not inhaling the stuff, not to hard. Plants actually like it, and is very inexpensive. Check it out..After 3 applications you will be done with mites until you bring some more in from somewhere else...
