Everything was good now my babies seem to be covered in a thousand eggs :S

I sprayed these 10 clones yesterday with pyrethrum as they had mites. Will they bounce back in time as they look pretty beat right now. Under 115 watts. Have sprayed them a number of times with plain water. Ive seen p do this b4 but not to this extent.

Sorry, nothing useful to say here. Just HOLY SHIT!

I used azamax, spinosad, neem drenches, and homemade habanero spray in rotation to kill them (so far), haven't seen any in a month.

Make sure you spray under every leaf, and apply something every 3 days. Those plants look very sick, I would not use the pyrethrin in that high a dose again.

They will hide in cracks and crevices and have the ability to hibernate for months. Take your plants out of the room when you can and when they are under better control and bleach all surfaces.

Don't mess with organic solutions (other than nuclear strength habanero in rotation) they only control them and don't kill them, research their life cycle and the difficulty in killing the eggs. I would rinse the leaves off with water to help wash away whatever is bothering them, let them recover some before hitting them again. Good luck

rosemary oil

I too fought mites.
Every week I took all the plants out to the garage and sprayed them under every leaf and on top of every leaf.
I alternated with Neem, pyrethrums, and a sesame/habanero oil spray.
A different one each week. It took six weeks to finally not see one under a magnifier.
All these sprays only work if you douse them well. The bugs have to be in contact with it. I examine a leaf on each plant once a week.
You will see more bugs (if not most of them) on the undersides of your leaves.
The best applicators are those pressure pump sprayers, because the wand allows you to spray undersides, and the spray bottles don't spray when inverted.
I apply so much, the plants are dripping and the garage floor soaking wet.
If you are using the correct dilution ratio, plants can handle the sprays.

Once you can visibly see the mites, eggs and damage, it's pretty far progressed.
That is why I inspect my leaves with a magnifier on a regular basis.
Catching things early, is your best defense.
Those plants look pretty unhappy buddy, I hope you can save them.

I had a battle against thrips....did many of what rockymtnman tried....finally went nuclear and got a bug-bomb....did once every three weeks in a row....all gone.

What RockyMtnMan used would also work. Also good advice to really drench them. Sometimes I would drench them, wait an hour, drench again...

I used a rosemary oil, garlic, peppers, soap mix trying the organic approach and thought I had them beat for 1 1/2 weeks. They came back even stronger.

If you use rosemary oil try to make your own, find a rosemary bush(grows everywhere where I am) take about 2-3 oz of rosemary, stems and all, and cook them in a slow cooker just covered with oil smashing them from time to time for about 2-3 hours. This will make a very strong rosemary oil and will last a long time. I use it now mostly as a repellant/deterrent.

I make a tea of garlic, cinnamon, sesame oil, cayenne chili and water. I use this tea for the water I mix with the neem. It smells kinda good.

That's an infestation. That just don't happen over night. You have had mites for a while and just didn't know. I have personally never seen mites like that one time when I first started growing I got mites. Had to use flora mite. Knocked them bitches dead. And now I always do preventive. Bugs suck. I dip clones in azamax and spray 3-4 times through out veg. Never had bugs again

100% not mites

looks like aphids to me

if it were mites id use Abamectin, but its aphids so id use some Bifenthrin

Avid pew pew pew die everything

def not mites...i went through this about a month ago. i wiped off each leaf that was affected,and even cut off ones that were that badly infested. luckily it was only on the very bottom set of leaves, but it was just as bad, if not worse. I used a doktor doom fogger then I sprayed with neem oil every other day for about a week, and haven't seen them since.
