Hey Growmie, Looks like you have a spider mite problem. Before your first treatment….Cut down their numbers! Control the heat, Have lots of air blowing over the plants and top of growing medium spray spider mites off the plants if you can Spider mites like the heat and hate a windy environment. A cool breezy grow space won’t get rid of spider mites, but it makes it harder for them to reproduce so your other control methods are more effective. If it’s possible for you to bring your plants outside or somewhere safe, you might even consider spraying off as many spider mites as you can, to get their numbers down before you start your main treatments. After doing this you'll need to use something like an Insecticidal soap or alcohol and Water mixed together (9 parts water to 1 part alcohol) will also kill the bugs on contact and shouldn’t hurt the plant. You will want to use a spray bottle or mister. You can also use neem oil too. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".

Hey there, everyone's got their own cure for spider mites but truth is nothing works or if it does it will either damage or ruin your flowers. The only thing that i've found that works is "biological warfare" with a beneficial bacteria called bacilus thuriengiensis , this acts as a paracite that attacks eggs, larvae and adults , but it takes a while to fully get things under control. So because you're in an outbreak phase i would suggest you spray the plant around sundown twice a week and add it to the feed once a week for two weeks or until it's under control. THen it's just a matter of keeping the beneficials up by adding it to your feed every ten days. The only other thing that truly works is to add LIVE LADYBUGS which you can order online, and yes, these are legit live bugs, but it turns out they can eat 10k spidermites a day each and dont touch your plants... once they're done eating the mites they just kinda disappear and not inside your buds which is nice. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I got spiders in my tents.. I just let them be as long as they don't make webs on buds or on leaves that makes the leaves curl up. They'll eat a lot of other pets before they even become a problem, and will die by themselves once there's nothing left to eat.

Spiders in the garden aren't necessarily a bad thing. You won't want them around at harvest, but they will kill and eat many other unwanted pests for you. The worst would be that they lay their eggs or web it up too much. You can try using onion, garlic, and rosemary blended with water and strained as a foliage spray to deter insects and the like, and diatomaceous earth is a good option too, but not as much so in flowering as I wouldn't want to accidentally smoke that.
