webs on leaves not many

hi i just found 2 webs as of now i am literally searching the plants now i have 2 blackjack plants and i think i may have caught it early enough because i only se 2 webs. i dont really know what this means but i know it isnt good. i have a few quesrtions also...what causes this? and how can i get rid of it? any help would be great

look on the backside of your leaves..you see tiny black/redish brown dots...do you have speckles on the fronts of the leafs? spidermites or a spiders web

If your still vegging it's an easy solve.

If your budding by the time you see webs...not so much easy. Especially if buds are big as the mites will build nests inside any space on... ( and even in..yuck.)... the buds. Which means a big population already as they use webs to travel.

So hopefully your still in veg or early flower.

And just use the pepper spray formula stickied on the Bug forum. Works.

Good luck.

ok i havent seen any black specks or brown specks...i am like 5 days into flowering and juss discovered it today

spider mites if u see webs u have a ton of them look with a magnify glass u will see them

Are you sure he's not mixed up with a regular spider. I mean we all get 'a' web or two from spiders but we the webs everywhere with mites.. (knocks on wood)

If its spider mites "hard to say without pics" drop the temp of the room to 60 deg. Your humidity needs to be above 50%. 50% and lower is where the mites love. Neem oil is the most effective to get rid of the mights.

im trying out the pepper spray on the bugs forum sounds like it should work i rly dont think there are alot ill get back to let you know if it works

so early in the flowering stage i would use the chemical solution as it's the only thing that really work ( Floramite sc is the best stuff around ) by the time you harvest there will be nothing left of it on your bud. lather in flowering you can only control the infestation & limit the damage by using a safe stuff call Liquid Ladybug it will permit your plant to finish their cycle but some spider mites will remain so you will have to use chemical with the next batch or take a couple week of break with absolutely nothing growing around.

so the pepper spray will not work? thats what yall are tellin me

The Pepper spray method will eliminate most of the pest but there will always be a few of em left to repopulate ( same with liquid ladybug ). these method are still very useful if you discover your infestation too late to use chemical cause you can't use Floramite & other chimical on your bud you would poison them & anyone who would smoke them. Neem oil use to be a all around cure, unfortunately many spider mites have adapted to survive it . When you see spider mites webs on your plants you have a major infestation even if you don't see them right now . Use a 30x magnifier & check underneath your leafs you should see these little pest & their eggs. There is no cheap cure for spider mites Floramites sc, Forbid 4f & Hexygon DF the 3 working product i know are very pricey

You will usually have leaves curling under & tiny white specks (lots of them) on the tops of the leaves, before you see webs. If your really concerned Neem oil is the best & only thing to use for spider mites in my exp. 100% organic not a pesticide.

Spider mites! Ahhhh!

probably spider mites. if they're already making webs it might be a bad infestation. when i have them, i just throw the plant out. they usually like to stick to the weakest plant but that doesnt mean they wont spread. its usually from people who give out infected clones, thats why i never take it plants from anyone anymore. i start all mine from seeds i order online. some people get offended but i've gotten small bug infested plants from some very reputable growers and even dispensaries so i make no exceptions anymore. spider mites are even all over in your house. all it takes is 1 to find way to your garden and lay eggs. thats why its always a good idea to run a pest control schedule. i find doing things the cheaper route rarely works as good.

one thing that works great is mighty wash. its expensive and you cannot buy extract but so far its the best product i've seen for spider mites. also dr doom bombs help but i like the mighty wash cause i can ensure my entire plant is soaked. i use it as a preventative maintenance about every month.

Let's not jump into conclusions here!!! Just a web with no spotted leaves and no sign of tiny dots at the back side (underside) of the leaf? Could be just a spider (as said before) and not spidermites. Photos would help us and a magnifyer would help you for sure!

ok well its been 2 days it says to do a follow up spray 2-3 days after so im gonna tommorrow and the plant looks great havent seen a web and havent seen any white things on the leaves which i only saw like 2 before this so far it looks like it worked or it was a spider which is very possible where im at. no leaves curled or yellowed or anything i hope this has worked and i think it has

I like using Spinosad to kill em.

Mighty Wash always seemed as effective as just taking them outside and spraying the underside with the hose, and it costs too much for electrified water.
