Hello friends,
Unfortunately my plants have fallen victim to an infestation of spider mites. Luckily I recognised it quite early and started a treatment of neem oil, spinosad and acaricide (one at a time with a week in between). Obviously I know that the white spots on my leaves (the only mite-sign, no webs or drying-out leaves yet) will not recover that quickly even if the pest is gone, so is there any way to recognise if I‘m making any progress against them? I’ve heard ‚if it doesn’t get worse, it’s good’ but I’m a bit sceptical. How do I know I got rid of them for good?
Thanks for any reply, I‘d appreciate hearing about your experiences!
Grow details:
Growing white widow plants in soil with LEDs
Late vegetative stage at 16 weeks
Nutrients: Flora Tripart plus magnesium
