Spider mites

Hi @BipolarHellas To get rid of spider mites the best is cinnamon extract. neem oil is also good but not as effective against spider mites. But as the plant is in the flowering stage, here are other options.Ladybugs are voracious mite murderers and a cannabis grower’s best friend for an all-natural pest solution.The most common spider mite affecting cannabis grows is the “Two Spotted Spider Mite”. Aside from ladybugs, there are other types of mites, thrips, and bugs that also love to munch on your enemy, but will leave your plants alone.In outdoor cannabis grows, these predator bugs will feed until the food (spider mites) is gone, at which point they fly off. This solution is best used when mite populations are still low. By pruning, we don’t just mean clipping leaves – though we will get to that – but also physically removing the mites themselves from the plants by hand or with a very low powered vacuum tube. If removed by hand, they need to be squished. Gross, yes, but no mercy for these intruders. If removed by vacuum, you need to get the contents of the vacuum into a sealable bag and into a trash can far, far away from your grow. Again, these spider mites can be very hard to see with the naked eye and their eggs even more so. So this hand-pruning method is also best employed early in the infestation when numbers are low. Even then, expect to repeat the process for several consecutive days to effectively eliminate the problem. Since mites thrive in warm, stagnant environments, try dropping the temperature if possible and increasing airflow to slow their reproduction as you squish away.For the leaves themselves, if the leaf is showing obvious signs of distress and has 50% or more of its surface affected by mite feeding, it’s probably best to snip it off and allow the plant to focus its resources elsewhere. good luck mate 👍
