Red bugs and leaves turning color

[wallimaster]

the middle picture if was clear is the most awesome spider mite infestation ive seen sorry dude

 

[jointluver]

Here spoon fed, and works every time-


I have used this for white fly infestation and it works. Follow directions. It's supposed to work for spider mites too.

Mite, bugs, powdery mildew.

1/4 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup Apple Cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 drops dish detergent
1/4 Teaspoon Epsom Salts

Take a cup of very hot water and dissolve the epsom salts, take rest of ingredients and place in a clean 2 liter bottle and let work out. Add epsom solution. Add water to fill to 48ozs(3/4 full).Shake well.

TO USE: Cover soil/medium with plastic,with lights off mist plant all over,especialy under leaves,
Wait 20 mins,then spritz off with clean fresh water shaking as much water off plant as you can.
The fresh water spritz rinse will remove the solution along with the desolved remains of the mites and their eggs.

Have fun with your new "Mite Eradicator"

: Water plants 1/2 hour before spraying. This will help keep your plants from absorbing the spray.

This solution has been tested and used as directed will not burn plants,the rinse is very important though as it removes the spent solution before it can concentrate and burn the plant. It also removes most of the dead mites and eggs so you don't end up eating them.

The formula can be diluted further,to 1 liter and it will still kill the mites but isn't as effective at dissolving and removing the mite parts.
Since removing the mite debris is desirable,I recommend the stronger solution,just remember to rinse and shake.
This formula is alkaline(about 7.8- so please remember to rinse.

oh then thats good but in ur name is that an area code?

 

[shnazul23]

to fight off mites, i bought some lady bugs and it seems to be working

 

[xogenic]

yeah their actually called predator mites

thanks yeh thats the name not used em personaly but i have read about many good reviews but also have heard of them arriving with half the little preditors dead

up here in humboldt we use ladybugs if we get infected with spider mites....they love warm areas....after you harvest you have to spray entire area to rid or they come back....we never ever spray poison on our plants.... even though its ok to humboldt county does not.... usually at the begining we spray so it has time to flush out poison

you can get the pestoff spray it is an all natural liquid non toxic and works fast and flushes from the plant in like 2 weeks

so i would say get the spray and give the plants a week or two in veg again and once you have finished spraying and you are shure they are dead just switch back to flower aslong as you have about a 2 week period before you flush em you should be fine

all depends on how long you have left on your flower cycle

if you have anything over 3 weeks just spray them once as much as you can over the plants over the tops of the pots and under the rims of the pots aswell just before your lights go off so the heat of the lamps wont evaporate all the spray and do it again after 3 days or so

(you want to spray till the liquid is just running off the leaves)

also make shure to spray the undersides of the leaves

and if possable try and get two soft sponges and gently wipe the leaves over with tiny bit of water from the stem to the tip this should help lower the numbers

but if you can try the ladybugs but i dunno where to get em this time of year

Preditor mites

hope it helps also i heard of a mix like the one above and it supposably works for the mites but as for white fly the best thing is a mix of tab butts and water soaked overnite spary it and watch them try and get away lol they hate it but i cant blame them it absoloutley hums for like 10 minutes just use the spray in the morning and at nite lol

anywhoo im just talking for the sake of it lol good luck mate hope you get it sorted

we were wondering since the plant is about a foot and a half tall, if we were to put a lid over the top of the pot so the dirt doesnt fall out, turn the plant upside down and submerge it in water up to about an inch from the dirt for a minute or two and than shake all the water off, would that drown them?

 

[11/7/08firstgrow420]

ive never even heard of that b4 lol hahahahah but wat will probaly happen is like the plant will be wet and have drop lets on it and the light will burn little spots the easyest thing to do is just buy stuff to get rid of the mites

 

[xogenic]

nah dont think it will if it did you would kill them when you spray them with water

Hello,This is my first grow and it has been raining pretty well every day for almost two and a half to three weeks now,some of the lower leaves have brown spots and one seems to be totally dead;However I can see new leaves( or it is starting to flower)starting at the point where the leaf is attached to the main plant and also on another plant there was a little shinny,silverish color that wiped off as I cleaned the leaf.So for my first problem is it to much rain in the few weeks causing the lower leaves to have those brown blotches and what do you think the silvery stuff was on the other leaves.I find myself worried about the plants as I do soe people lol,I mean I raised them all from a little seed,sort of attched,I even named them Anyway I really would appreceiate some advice and thank you......................
