Spider mites are dicks

[007]

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.

Ha! I just spotted thrips flying around, same story. Bastards!

thrips? thrips? I have never got the thrips.

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

Hush children... so far all my grows have been pest free! Hope I haven't jinxed myself!!! Borgs and thrips and mildew, oh my!!!! 😥

 

[dontknownuttin]

I never get bugs either! I feel so left out!. Perhaps Green will send me some from his vast collection!

 

[dontknownuttin]

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!

Send her to my house.

How are you treating them ?

 

[Beach_Town_Brit]

Mighty Wash was the most effective not-super-toxic treatment that I found. Good luck it's tough when you're in flower

I know desperate times call for desperate mesures a tabaco type spray would work. Also putting sand on top of soil stops breeding # works well .I feel for u man,luck

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.

Did a spinosad spray earlier this week, out of prevention I thought, hadn't seen them in a while. Then bam last night caught a few flying out of 2different pots. Sprinkled diatomaceous earth on top of soil last night. Getting the flame thrower ready for round 3...
