Dealing with these guys right now have to push back he date i was going to flip

gave the plants and whole tent an iso treatment but didn’t cover my medium so dealing with other issues now hoping i can keep them alive

 

[budsofgeorgia]

since your dealing with pest you should just set them out side, your gonna have to literally spray the plants down ever inch and then wipe and clean every cm of your tent and area

WTF! don’t be saying anything!
i was gonna post an update for ya anyways,.
have too good or bad!,..
so we agreed mites so suds followed my isopropyl treatment though the idiot i am forgot to tell him to cover the medium, so the 3 plants were sprayed with 50% isopropyl and iso obviously got into the medium and that is not good!!, (my fault) so one didn’t get it to bad and is doing fine the other two got soaked and it shows in black/brown patches, weak/dying limbs, drying out, twisting leaves, so i helped him with what to do next, raise lights raise humidity and let the soil dry out,. next day tells me he sees more mites??? wtf ok let’s clean up real good and spray again, did that,, so today i think tells me i see more again on pot and the iso kills them,. i’m like WTF?,.
so we have now discover its SOIL MITES!!
for fuck sakes,. so the 3 photos were after first spray than next 3 set was today and after trimming some bad stuff off,. so now i’m helping with getting the plants back to healthy while suds may need some advice for soil mites,..
50% spray mix is absolutely fine for killing pest/eggs on plants BUT don’t get any in the soil!,..

now today i think

 

[GNick55]

i know it’s only been a couple days but notice any new growth getting bigger on any plants?

Yea the only thing the iso didnt kill in the soil was all of my plant and soil mites but we’re gonna get them looking healthy again do i can start flowering them my next move was gonna put a layer of DE on the soil so on the next feeding it would filter in the soil hopefully helping with soil mite control any thoughts?

Yes i feel like there is some new growth here and there FB and PQ r looking pretty thin but feel like they are growing hulk which really didn’t get phased to much is looking pretty good

ok well this is really their first day left unbothered by us,.
but i’m sure some ideas for soil mites will come up

 

[Oldchucky]

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information as to whether they are even harmful! Good luck! And from what I’ve seen, if you can see them scurrying around, they are usually predatory mites!

they definitely can spread deceases etc to humans,, and can survive for 7 yrs,. i’d get rid of them,.

The top layer of soil in hulk is dry to touch so im going to spread a layer on her soil maybe tomorrow layer the other 2

 

[Suds.an.buds]

Got most of my ties back on

 

[GNick55]

well i would put it anywhere there’s entrance into the medium so including the bottom holes,. maybe a saucer thingy to put de in than the pot??

 

[Suds.an.buds]

have a good one

Is the DE placed on top of the soil working at killing them? That would be my first choice. Worse comes to worse I'd do a soil drenching with spinosad. It's derived from a soil bacteria and it attacks the nervous system of insects. I'd spray the plants and the whole inside if my tent if I had to too.

I've also switched between venerate and grendevo in the past. These might be better options than spinosad. They are more expensive and aren't something you can just walk into your hardware store and buy like you can with spinosad. All three are considered organic biologicals.

Not really sure yet if it’s working but hoping it makes them manageable
