I was checking trichomes yesterday and saw a spidermite on a sugar leaf. Can spidermites destroy the buds? The crop is maybe one to two weeks from completion.
I was reading comments on YouTube and they were cracking me up. Here is what the uploaders said: "MarijuanaGrowersHQ 1 year ago"Haha! you guys are cracking us up! all the speculation about this being intentional. So here's the story, this was a control group for an experiment in the effectiveness of miticidal sprays. The article will not be done for a while but we just HAD to show this video. So enjoy."
Thanks for all the input on this. I have a Hot Shot No-Pest Strip in the tent which is probably the only reason the little buggers are not worse. Another guy posted this: "mighty wash 2 times monthly...i also 2/4times a month swith up with neem oil and hotpepper spray to keep them from wanting to feed off the leaves if there are any on it
. mighty wash kils eggs and bugs on contact. neem and hot pepper spray coat the leaves making it not want to feed and cannot feed. then any eggs and live get hit and killed with mighty wash"
Thanks for the help. The spider mite I saw was colored half dark and half amber and on the bottom of the leaf. I saw him with the 60x-12mm loupe with the leaf on the table. That video gives me the hebe jebe's.
