spider mites

[marpolo]

What to do with these little annoying shits! First can you smoke the bud when its done, second is there anything to treat buds/leaves that won't affect the plant itself? Im almost at end of cycle and just noticed these things last night. ugh!!!

[Potted]

Smoke I’m if u got them, no I’m only kidding when harvesting give them a gentle bath those little shits will abandon ship and u will b bug free. With no harm to buds at all it’s the same as a outside grow gets bathed to remove bugs,unwanted pollen,dirt and bird shit.

Thanks man, gentle bath, with like dawn dish detergent? or is there a specialty soap I can order.

[Potted]

No soap, if anything lemon juice and baking soda, and yes the D soil does stop most soil breading insects but so does sand and is cheaper to! Imo

Or water peroxide works too

[marpolo]

ordered that long (D,word dust) to put on soil. read that also helps out...

[Potted]

No soap.... bad taste

In flowering. You should just wait till harvest and wash like potted says. All treatments for pest are for vegetative stage only. I’ve had great success with alcohol and water 1:1 sprayed over and under the leaves twice a day

This worked for me a couple years ago. Probably cheaper by the gallon. https://www.amazon.com/NPK-Industrie...ds=mighty+wash
