Spider mites?!?!

[Cody6890]

I am a first-time grower and I got a clone from a dispensary. I have been growing it and doing my best to give it out of the environment but I believe I got it with Spider mites. Am I correct? What is the best way to treat this I am in early flower.

Also why are some tips turning yellow?
Thank you!

Give it a good environment*

Do you have a pocket scope? Magnifying glass?
Inspect the bottom of the suspect leafs carefully and see if you can find anything crawling.

You'll need to provide some info on soil / media / nutrients / lighting / environment etc for opinions on lead tips

Spray top and bottom with spinosad soap and two-three days later do it again and two-three days later do it again.

Try to keep temps low, humidity up and lots of air circulation.

Lady bugs! They sell them at plant stores and they work great without any chemicals

It's kinds know these days that lady bugs aren't aggressive enough feeders indoors and will most likely end up dead on the floor.
On top to that the environmental impact of wild harvesting them (as bad as bat guano to me)
Not sure the OP even has bugs so not sure why he's being told to spray Spinosad which would be for Thrips

Sorry didn’t realize it was inside. Totally makes sense then!

If it's two spotted spider mites. Then the predator of choice is definitely persimillis. I release a few thousand into my garden ever two weeks regardless. If any spider mites wanna come into my garden they can enjoy getting ass raped by thousands of predators that only eat two spotted spider mites.

Because it kills mites, which OP thinks he may have, a host of other shit and is virtually harmless.

I use about 2.5 tsp per quart of water.

Ok great / thanks - so you foliar before lights out, avoiding buds where possible? Do you treat the soil as well? Would hate to mess up the biology I have going on… but I don’t want these f’in mites lol
