Humble beginnings

[notdezmond]

Is there a clear pic of a two spotted mite? If so, you are in for a long ass fight and ends up nothing ends up working. Ymmv. Are these are still in veg? It's one thing when they pop up 4 weeks from finish but it's sheer misery to finish. And they are not done until you clean out the tent.....and even then 11 days after the cleaning.
I've been trying to bring two cuts to heel mitewise for months. Dktr Doom, Azamax, sulfur......today the bitches are going outside......because I need to clear that tent. It's a bitch in veg.

And my plan is to let them go into flower( outside ) but to keep treating 2 branches and then take cuts........that's the only way I think I can keep them.

definitely haven’t found a two spot mite yet. But at this point it’s hard to count anything out.. I’ma look again and scope a bunch of spots today, See what I can come up with

Luckily I haven’t switched to flower yet and I won’t until I get this under control. If anything I’ll prolly clone the blackberry kushbreath and flower them out becaus they are getting too big for the container they are in
5 bbkb and a sarsaparilla in here. Getting crowded quick


Hopefully you can get yours eliminated soon. After everything you’ve thrown at em it makes me worry mine won’t be so easy either!

Almost chasing my tail at this point. I can acknowledge I have more than one problem and the best solution may be a reset as everyone has mentioned.

But pulling the trigger is a different thing lol..

Got confirmation on beneficial mites.

Finished 3 day knockdown with green cleaner and also got tent vpd back in check. Gave them a foliar of thermx kelp and aloe last night they are starting to turn around. I’ll implement every 3 day IPM instead of my lazy 7 day routine.

I gave em a serious haircut and they are a little bit happier today after some TLC. Continuing to scope for bugs but haven’t seen anything.


Bbkb and a sarsaparilla.





the rest





Rhubarb n cement shoes x

@BH always swore by the Suffoil x because it will suffocate them and they can't build immunity to suffocating . He would probably also tell you to kill anything affected and shut it down for 2 weeks .

my lazy 7 day routine

Nope, not lazy. Reasonable. Going to 3 day is smart.

Transitional season make the mental notes. It seems you realize you are not out the woods just yet, if predator mites then what are they feeding on? the color change usually indicates shift of food sources.

tent vpd back in check.

Good.

Personally I don't like horticultural oils. If you can do a sulfur burn safely that is what I would at this point. If you cant burn then wettable is another option. That said I don't use green clean so double check with them and allo other products you are using for compatibility. You'll want to wait before applying botanigard but can do grandevo or vinerate on the 3day interval then resume botanigard.

There are many different ways to go from here and don't be impatient is about the best advice I can give.

Hah yeah bro you’re right. I got my ipm from bh and he’d be all over me right now.



@DopeDaniel hey brother I appreciate your input. The mites most definitely ran out of gnats and were migrating out looking for food. The fact that I found them first on the top of a plant alarmed me. I had added about half a yard of new soil for this run and im certain that’s where the FG came from.

I’m gonna get some sulphur n hot plate n shit for this weekend.

 

[DopeDaniel]

I've done the hot plate method, a purpose built burner is about 70 bucks. A hot plate capable of reliably holding the right temp will run about as much. Strongly recommend getting a purpose built unit.

You got it. Thanks again

 

[notdezmond]

Right tool for the right job makes things so much easier for sure. Though I will say I've made plenty of not made for that items into perfect solutions with a few MacGyver skills. lol

 

[notdezmond]

@JL2G yeah man I can attest to both sides of that coin.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

I’m just gonna use the candle on this one hahah.

I've seen those but not used them. Seems convenient, little sketch about leaving a candle going. That said there aren't any UL approved burners anymore, either way your insurance will have a fit.

Legit hahaha. The one I've been smoking the most of, the Wife told me it literally smelled offensive, to the point that the smell made her want to throw up.

Which ones????

 

[notdezmond]

Which ones????

Love f2 is the most recent for sure. Such a crazy offensive chemical smell. It’s like smelling salt lol.

It was too overpowering and overwhelming while trimming I had to literally put the shit down and go outside for a bit.

I.... I think...I think I love that strain !! Bro it's so rare for me to be bothered by a smell lol. I've had ONE thus far, which was a Blue Cheese mystery cross, and she had 3 types of smells in her; Cat urine / dirty litter box, Skunk, and a hint of berry... lol. It is still the most pungent plant I've ever smelled.
