    Spider mites are dicks

    Dirty bastards were gone. I mean I hadn't seen any in a long time. 13 girls in flower developing buds and trichomes beautifully and today theres like a dozen of them stuck to a leaf on one of them. I hope they starve and it hurts! Back to square one as far as treatment. Don't they realize no one likes them?

    Around here we call them "The Borg" for a reason.

      Maybe I'll send Jeri Ryan after them with a sprayer full of something good

          I clean and disinfect EVERYTHING between grows using Peroxide and water 10-1 mix. After cleanup I wrap my res. in plastic wrap to keep it dirt free. Lot of work yes! fun YES!

            Mighty Wash was the most effective not-super-toxic treatment that I found. Good luck it's tough when you're in flower
            Sand, sea, sun, sausages, and sinsemilla.

            About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.

                I had Thrips back in September when this forum started. I got rid of them with Spinosad and Diatomacious earth. Two treatments and that was it.
