The 2 larger ones in the middle is the last grow bxb 20201006_170945.jpg
This one is starting to bulk up, it's the smallest of the larg plants.

Wish I knew what strain this was. Very dark green and a good bit of frost.

Well I think the smooth sailing has came to a end and there is some choppy waters ahead. Last year was aphids and this year two spotted spider mites....I noticed the white dots on the black triangle f2 a bit back but had no clue and didnt think much of it. Well looked under today and definitely see eggs and them little mother fuckers crawling around. Only white spots on the black triangle but I'd assume they have spread. I have another plant with slightly diffrent white spots but no eggs or mites. I'm getting close to day 40 flower, and I'd really hate to put anything on them. I have pulled the bt f2 out of the room. Being I'm nearing the end and havnt seen any on the other plants whats the chance of keep going and beat them to the end and a good bud washing? 20210805_073752.jpg 20210805_073909.jpg 20210805_074156.jpg 20210805_073204.jpg
These spots dont have anything under them I also searched around the area and seen nothing. The spots are diffrent aswell, this is the runt of the larger plants. I'd assume a nutrient issue, tend to feed 1100 went up to 1300 2 feedings ago and got slight tip burns. 20210805_073647.jpg
Hope they didnt piss with the other plants to much but ehats the chances of that...smells so damn good in here hate for it to turn for the worse. 20210805_073725.jpg 20210805_073622.jpg

Been looking up ways to kill off mites without spraying and seen people using co2. Seems like a good way and not to hard to obtain. Anybody else try this?
Haven't tried that, but high temps supposedly kills them too. That far into flower though, I'd try pulling the noticeable damaged leaves and wipe the remaining leaves and main stalk down. Then hope for the best. From the pictures it doesn't look so bad yet. But the things multiply fast.

Good luck
I'm in same boat but mines got bigger holes(more bugs)??
I sprayed everything with everything I could use that is friendly but had to just bomb and spray with pyrethrum?
I was thinking of one of the pyrethrin bombs but have heard the ones sold nowadays are a joke compared to. First thought was ozone but not sure how that effects the plant. But seen co2 can be used to suffocate them. Figure go by the welding supply store and pick a tank up. To bad nitrogen dont work I have tons of that handy. We use nitrogen to pressure test our lines, figured I could use the regulator off it for a co2 tank.

I pulled the whole plant wich sucks but better then them spreading. When I get home I'm going hunting on the other plants to see if I can find some or webs. If I do I'm definitely going to try the co2. Just hoping I can get them done without them covering my plants. I've seen some pics and holy shit they can infest a plant.

Good choice. Yeah they can straight dome a bud with webs when they get outta control. Its a sad sight. Hope your remaining plants go the distance. Good luck Frenzy ?

Found 3 leaves on the truck seed plant that had eggs on it but didnt see any mites. Didnt find any eggs or mites on the bigger plants. Going to get a co2 tank tomorrow and try it out. Assuming this will just kill the hatched mites and will have to do it a few times.

This will knock back living ones but you still have eggs. I did a bottle in a 3x3 tent but you do not want to do this in an attached living structure.
Yes I was reading to do it and wait 5 days to do it again, so the eggs can hatch. This is in my garage, and only 3 places for air to leak in room, shouldnt be to hard to get a seal. I figure I will do it 3 times just to make sure.

This weekend was a bust, not only no co2 went to go put some lines up to support the plants and cant find my damn staple gun....despite that they are looking good. Smashed some eggs on the small plant up front but could only find them on that one.


Truck seed, wish I knew the strain. This is the mites latest victim. Still in low numbers.

These 2 seeds came from the same plant but looks like they may have been diffrent. Saying everything had flowers last run it's a good chance. 20210808_192956.jpg 20210808_193025.jpg

Is not the C02 specifically; rather the absence of Oxygen,,,
Would Nitro not accomplish the same thing?

For simplicity sake, reduce the confinement area. Gas them in a giant garbage bag, or 45 gallon drum.
Perhaps in the dark? - as plants produce oxygen.

I dont know if this even works,,,
but if you are having a silly notion,,,
Take it to the extreme !
Half assed, and mite eradication have never appeared in the same sentence.

Good point, and I was thinking of doming over them with visqueen to make the area smaller. Just havnt seen anybody say nitrogen so figured nitrogen gas might have a negative effect on the plants but I will look into that.
