Spider Mites Infestation
altoaltostarted grow question 2 years ago
As the title says - my plant affected by what I think is an infestation of spider mites.
I will treat the leaves with Cannacure as soon as I receive it in 2 days and I started with some home made solution of kitchen soap and vinegar. Safe to use other chemicals? Any experience?

neemazal is a good option and considered safe for organic farming and consumable plants. it’ll help with your fight. they’re small so you can wipe the leaves and the stems with a weak alcohol solution as well.
if you can you can even dunk the plant in water and give it good wash. manually removing pests is the fastest way to reduce their populations. then be vigilant and check regularly and keep spraying it with neemazal.
neemazal is a water based extraction of neem seed. it has the active compound azadirachtin which disturbs sucking pests feeding ability and reproduction. now azadirachtin will stay in the plant for a while so i’d advise to stop applying it 3-4 weeks before harvest (not because its dangerous but it is somewhat linked to a syndrome which prolonged smoking of cannabis containing azadirachtin causes cramps and nausea and stuff). but it is theoratically safe to ingest.
anyway that was my two cents.

Hello. While you wait, turn up your fans. Make it so the mites can't make their webs in the wind. It will keep them in check until you get you Cannacure. You can make some 50% water and 50% alcohol (iso or vodka) and a squirt or 2 of dish soap. Try not to get it on the roots. The alcohol dries them out and the dish soap drowns them. Chuck.

I haven't yet had to deal with mites. I'm sure I will.
I have AMC spider mite wash and neem soil. And canna cure.
To combat them you wanna be laying down traps. Wiping down eggs. But the leaf was will kill em after they eat.
There's other things you can do. Depending how bad it is. If you have a crop.. and you have 1 bad one you can't get under control I highly suggest you to some damage control. You whole crop or just 1 or 2 plants.
I've seen ppl put up they use a hover with some mesh or some shit. Stuff like that.. look up best ways to combat and pick which best fits the tools you have or can quickly get.
Good luck, hope you beat the lil shits.

1/3 plants has leaves that are almost pointing straight up. I have read two opposing things. One being that the plant is actually “happy” soaking in the sun and directing it to the bud sites. The other being some sort of deficiency- either calcium or magnesium? Any thoughts?Week 10

The plants are now placed in rows, not on the windowtill but behind & below. This means that they’re:
1. Growing towards the window once again
2. Have parts of them barely exposed to the sunlight.

Do I let them grow how they want to? Should I trim away some leaves?Week 6
