Spider mides_bw 7
KrautFabrikstarted grow question 8 months ago
I'm at bloom week 7 and have a few spider mides. 2-3 more weeks more to go. Should I start with predators or not. It would take me a few days to get them.
(picture shows only the spider mide damage, they are really rare and hide under the leaves because of the ventialtion)

You could ignore them.........mite damage will be minimal at this late stage..
Otherwise predators may help, but if you only have a couple of weeks to go, I doubt they would do anything much that will change anything in real terms before harvest.
I would strongly advise against spraying buds with ANYTHING this close to harvest, no matter how much the spray may claim "to be completely safe".
Predators would be the best option if you want/need to do something to help.

In agreeance with Organoman here, Don't spray in flower.
predator mites are good as a preventative, lots are need to cull an active infestation, and they run the risk of getting stuck in your buds as well.
Do a bud washing to get as many of them out as possible, and keep the RH as high as you can in flower to help prevent their breeding habit. mites like dry aired conditions.
Good Luck!

Son pulgones pulgones. Lo que te recomiendo es que rocies las partes bajas de las hojas con aceite de neem o jabón potasico. Sin humedecer las flores para no causar hongos por exceso de humedad.
