![Crying or Very sad :cry: :cry:](/styles/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
I'm into about my last 2 weeks of flowering on my diesel ryder and caught spider mites. I've dealt with them before on my regular house plants. I've always use straight 70% alcohol in a spray bottle on with great success. I've never used it on a flowering of any type. So my question is, is it o.k. to spray the alcohol onto the bud or should it be diluted or should I not even spray diluted alcohol on it ? TIA
the product was ecosmart organic garden insect killer, active ingredients were 0.25% of clove, peppermint, thyme, and rosemary oilI would love to hear your results
i've got about 4 weeks of flower left, hoping that's long enough to have the plant oils out of the budIf the problem is bad and your that far in a good trick is to suck the mites off your tops with a shop vac... very gently. Otherwise using an organic pesticide as a leaf wipe instead of a spray works good. It sucks to have to spray such strong scented oils on your buds when they are almost ready to cut.. Azatrol is a great organic pesticide. Think of it as "super neem", its expensive but works very well. good luck!
