HOW TO KILL SPIDER MITES 100%: " Naturally - no chemicals"

[Below66]

If you live somewhere like CO or CA where it is a real problem, and you don't have a good sealed operation, preventative spraying and super clean measures are your only chance aside from your harder shit like pyth bombs/spinsosad/anything beyond this is nasty.

Mites like hot, dusty, dirty, and dry. Keep control of your humidity, mist and spray often, weekly or biweekly of something like - neem/karanja/water/aloe/silica/soaps/herbs/extracts/teas/ect... is a must in these states and others like it. You lazy, you fucked.

I had bad mites last year on my indoor I used a similar method but used a lot of garlic with the pepper and I worked while I was in town but when I moved away my dad took over and they came back in full force and the old man got so pissed off saying my method didn't work he fucking sprayed ant spray on them needless to say I didn't smoke any of that and it killed the plants damn old people with no patients

Very few people have the activity, diligence, and forethought to create an inhospitable environment for pests and pathogens. Nowadays people have less free time; and there are less farms, so bagged and bottled products are the main players, hydro, DWC, soil-less run rampant for their yielding and nutrient-sucking abilities... but it's a hollow process open for pests and will never achieve the taste and terpene levels of a product that was fed of quality broken-down humus and bio-diversity - unleashing the true medicinal qualities to it's fullest potential.

There are two sides to this game, one involves love, one involves money.

Cuban Hippy out.

i have a product called TetraSan and it will take care of even the worst mite infestation over night. It is difficult to obtain, and i would never use it in flower, but it will kill every mite and every egg with a simple spray on the top the the leaves. It is trans laminar, works through the leaf from the top to kill the mites/eggs underneath the leaves for easy application. Cant even remember how i came upon it, but it has been a lifesaver.

So funny story, for you.

I am on a small island and havnt seen peppers in months. Have had a MINOR indication of mites, so decided to use my bear mace...

Thought I could capture the bear mace in my spray bottle. Totally blasted myself HARD right in the face and open eyes. 10 min later I am fine. Totally not as "incapacitating" as I thought it would be.

Diluted the mace, sprayed down the plants. BAM. now to see if I took one in the face for nothing.

On another note, I have always wondered what being maced would feel like, kind of a sucker for pain, so I can scratch that one off my list.

Dear V~

Again, thank you for your input. Each reader may make their own personal decison based upon the facts. What may work for you may not work for others.

In comment on your practices: I do not allow any animals or unclean individuals into my growing environment, vistors that may contaminate my stock. Catching a ride is how it all starts.

For Example: I was given a clone by a friend. Because I trusted this friend I did not put the plant into temporary quarentine prior to intoducing the little girl into the young clone nursery area. To my suprise and disdain - on a second investigation days later - I discovered the dreaded webs. It was too late. The mites had begun their march, and soon every plant had a few mites, that needed treatment - causing me to quarentine that entire nursery from the rest. A real pain!! Thus, I am ardent on technique and proving the veracity of claims - as you should be and are. Kudos.

I have no supporting evidence that proves that NO PEST STRIPS - relaint upon evaporative ariable chemical poisons - produce a run for the boarder in mites. Where do yours go to? Into the closet and into the spouces underwear (just kidding). They got to go some place.

Please respect this thread and allow others to post "All Natural" Questions and Answers. Should you be fervent about your technique, I would advocate that you start your own thread in the main forum, promuligating the benifits of your personal method.

Thanks for you understanding and respecting our fine community,

My Best,

Peace,

WHAT ABOUT LADY BUGS? NO ONE HAVE SED ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.......

 

[Organicpoop]

How many peppers to make 16 gallons of spray?

 

[Moto42024]

well I already ordered Diamateceous earth but found this pretty interesting to take care of my mite problem, I have tried some other ways which apparently or might have killed my buds, so just waiting it out until I remove all of the mites and see what happens from there they are on there 21st day of flowering and have sprayed it 40% water and the rest rubbing alcohol and believe that killed them... even sprayed them with all vinegar and just stunk up my room with no positive results, even thought about purchasing some lady bugs and then I found this so I am going to use Diamateceous earth and habanero peppers for my mites and I'll be posting my results...

HOW TO KILL SPIDER MITES 100%

Cured Clone - see new growth!

You have Spider Mites? YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!!! Unless you are diligent and work hard, the problem will not go away, your crop is doomed as one by one they fail and die.

As a Native American, proud of our heritage and ways in keeping with the environment, I give to you a method that is naturally harmonious, and pure. The method is so benign, you may use this method even during flowering - without a single harm to your precious plants.

The best way is not the easiest by far; to do the perfect job takes comitment - so all you lazy bud heads who want a quick fix: "look elsewhere, or coat your precious medicine with chemicals and poison...and remind me not to smoke your herb."

Editor's note: One will find a bit of cross talk in this thread, and some rude posts. The Editor aplogizes that many have strayed off the central subject and prefer to haze each other. However, one will find many other concerned members with great suggestions and feedback. - calibuzz

"Now then, for all you fervent horticulturists..."

Spider mites are alive; you can make them dead. All life is fragile, but... "how do I kill the mites without hurting my crop?"

I will not use pesticides or harmful chemicals on my plants; thus, I have found an all-natural way to rid the infestations that sometimes occur. Curing your plants takes time and care, but you can rid your babies of the mini-spiders that suck your plant's life's blood.

Spiders have skin-like exoskeletons; the tissues are sensitive to change. Molecules soak though their pours, skin and orifices; thus, what may bother you - a giant living organism - might prove fatal to a spider the size of a pinhead. This is so when using a common group of proteins found in Nature. I will teach you how to naturally and inexpensively rid your plants of the dreaded spider mites.
The Habanera Pepper (sometimes pronounced Habenero) is the key ingredient in pepper spray. Once you make a batch of CALICLEAN you'll see why. One may buy habanera peppers in any vegetable section for about 6 dollars a pound. The peppers are light orange to dark red, and are about the size of a bic lighter when fully mature, most are half that size. Go buy a pound, now!!! If you have mites, time is of the essence.

NOTICE: The spray you make is not harmful to humans (hab peppers are an ingredient in all really good south of the border salsas), but irritating to mucus membranes and soft tissues, it will make you cough - as its like breathing chili powder, so use care.

"GEE, MY PLANT LEAVES ARE DOTTED WITH WHITE SPOTS AND TURNING PALE OR YELLOW."
If you have taken a powerful magnifying glass to the underside of your plant's leaves you will have seen the little off-yellow dots with a brown center that move about slowly over the plant leafs and veins - the mature mites. These big mites leave web-strands like other spiders. Web strands between leaf and stems (as they cross back and forth to new vulnerable leaves), and between leaf serrations are indications of a healthy infestation and big mites on your plants. You may also have seen almost too-hard-to-see little brown dots crawling slowly about. These are the baby mites that will grow into big suckers. You may also have seen groups of little white dots near the central leaf brachiation and the main leaf veins. These are clutches of mite eggs. They will soon hatch and produce up to 80 mites per clutch, per mature mite. You are screwed if you do nothing. But fret not, you can save your plants, and they will recover and thrive - with diligence.

HERE IS WHAT TO DO

Making the Calicleaner

1.) Get a sauce pan - fill with one pint of water - put on lowest flame possible (do not boil !!!).
2.) Chop 4 -5 Habanera peppers fine. Chop open seeds and central membranes, as the power lies there.
3.) Simmer chopped peppers for 20 minutes - making sure not to boil (you will destroy the active proteins).
4.) When you put your head over the pan and the wispy-steam stings your eyes, the Calicleaner is ready.
5.) Pour the Calicleaner through a fine mesh strainer - a little fine grit is OK - let cool in a clean bowl.
6.) Pour room temperature contents in a mister spray bottle. Your are ready to apply.

HOW TO APPLY Calicleaner
1.) Put on gloves, and wear a mask, or at least put a bandana around your nose and mouth.
2.) Turn off all fans - you do not want this spray in your eyes!!!
3.) Spray the bottom of EVERY leaf - starting with the bottom leaves first, work up to the top.
4.) After the bottoms are done, hit the tops and the stems.
5.) Squirt liberally in new leaf pods - tightly wound new leaf growth (the small mites hide there).
6.) Get the heck out of the room till it clears.
7.) Repeat procedure with each plant.
8.) Spray the soil, the pots, and the floor or earth around the area to kill dropping mites and stop migration.
9.) Wash hands with soap and water when complete - the stuff will heat-up skin for 4 hours.
10.) DO NOT WORRY. Though the stuff is lethal to mites, the plants love it.

WHAT’S NEXT??

Congratulations! You have successfully killed the mites that you sprayed - on contact!. Plus, the mites are thwarted in biting again as they get a lethal dose of hot mouth. Your plants should be turning green again with in half a day. Though the leaves are scarred, they will recover and work again - producing vital sugars for growth.

However, you are not done. Some mites will escape the spray, though you have killed 95% of them. Thus, you will have to do the spray again tomorrow. As a matter of fact you will have to spray every 2-3 days till you see no more mites - usually up to two weeks. SOME EGGS WILL HATCH!!! Thus a week after the first spray, do a super job again, the baby mites are likely out and about. Kill 'em right away.

Use your magnifying glass to inspect each plant carefully, when nothing moves and you see no more webs, your plants are clear. YEAH!!

Additional precautions: make sure your containers and pots do not touch, mites migrate. Clean your floors and equipment so live mites do not return (spray them down with Caliclean). Since no person can kill every living mite in their situation, eternal diligence is now part of the equation. One mite may turn into a million in a month.

Other helpful hints: wash your plants with clean water spray between sprayings, this cleans off dead mites and eggs, and refreshes the plant leaf compromised by the vampire sucking mites. Keep the room cool, 78 degrees to 68 degrees if possible during treatment. Mites hate the cold - thus weakened mites will drop dead. If lower leaves are infested with eggs and mites - cut them off! DO NOT LEAVE CUTTINGS NEARBY! Burn or bury your cuttings far away.

Spraying notes: Mites tend to collect where the leaves join at the nexus and overlap. If you can, lay your plants on-end or position upsidedown (be real careful) to make sure all undersides are sprayed. Cut off curled leaves where they collect. If you're a rich person you may make a full pound to ten gallons of water and dunk them - even better!!

The best part of using Calicleaner is you may use it always - even during flowering. As the solution is all natural, no one is harmed but the mites: "Nature to deal with Nature." Your money goes to a farmer not a chemical corporation.

Caliclean works,

Check often; check carefully; your plants will thank you with fine flowering! Be good to your Natural Medicine, and it will be good to you.

Good Luck and best wishes, "How Ni Kan, Megwetch," Peace be with you always,

Calibuzz

1st many thx Calibuz!! im kickin mite ass with the pepper... i do have a question tho... to mix up the assault i have some peppermint and rosemary oil that i would like to mix with???? dishsoap?? if so what would be the ratio for said mixture? thx again

 

[Moto42024]

well I already ordered Diamateceous earth but found this pretty interesting to take care of my mite problem, I have tried some other ways which apparently or might have killed my buds, so just waiting it out until I remove all of the mites and see what happens from there they are on there 21st day of flowering and have sprayed it 40% water and the rest rubbing alcohol and believe that killed them... even sprayed them with all vinegar and just stunk up my room with no positive results, even thought about purchasing some lady bugs and then I found this so I am going to use Diamateceous earth and habanero peppers for my mites and I'll be posting my results...

Ok already started simmering the habanero peppers and once this is done I am going to spray the living day lights out of my poor girls...

 

[CBDPower]

Making my first batch of pepper spray. I am doing it slightly different than an original method. I am using Thai hot pepper from my own garden and I'm blending the peppers with water in my powerful blender (vitamix) to liquified the solution and then heat it for 20 mins. Also adding a few drops of Dr. Bronner's hemp/lavender soap. Will spray tonight and report back. Many thanks for great info.

 

[mrgemstone1]

Howdy!

To try is to find out. Got a little scientist in you? For 2 bucks in peppers...proove me wrong. And when I'm right I shall graciously except your humble apology and I might say with a smiling grin: "I told you so."

I'm here to help, not harm.

My Best!

Peace be with you,

Hello Friends, I've been battling the mites for about 6 months now and am going to try the Calibuzz pepper spray treatment. After reading through the many posts, I thought I might be useful to post pics of the process. I'm making this super, super basic with the hope that it will answer some of the questions posed on this thread.

Here we go!!!

First, the Habanero Pepper. Fresh-to-chopped-to-saucepan they look like this,
NOTE: Pic 3 has all of the ingredients called for in the original post in addition to the safety gear you'll want for the whole process. I cook a lot and know these hot, hot, hot little beauties,...Use gloves for the chopping and simmering of the chilis. Discard or wash gloves after the chopping. DO NOT touch your face or body.

6 Habenero Chillis
1 Pint H20
Sauce Pan, Gloves, Safety Glasses (for application to plants)

And so the project progresses:
Below are pics of:

• Cooled pepper/water mixture. I used a stick blender to break the pepper up a bit more before I strained them.
• Again, wear the gloves.
• Strain it back into your measuring cup.
• Final juice (and pulp). I noticed that I've lost some volume, so I'll add water to bring it up to a pint before I move forward.

 

[JP DeVries]

I've used the pepper spray with much success in ridding of mites and other critters. I prefer to take about 6 peppers per 16oz of water and run them through a food processor first. This really helps grind up the seeds well and leaves you with a very strong, hot mixture that could be diluted to your discretion.

Yes neem can do the same thing, but I have noticed it is more expensive and, since it is oil based, you have to be careful not to burn foliage with the lights.

 

[UKGunner]

Hi all first post here, but been reading and growing for a couple of years. I have recently had a mite problem 3 weeks into flower and have used the pepper spray every other day for the past week, and it has worked great looks now to have knocked out the mite population completly, have check the plant over using a lupe and no signs of living mites or eggs. The strange thing is that my Bubblegum plant was also showing signs of either a cal or mag deficency and have got some cal/mag on order, but ever since applying the pepper spray for the mites the deficency has been getting better and better, looking at the contents of Habanero peppers they seem to have some kind of cal and mag content (link below), so was wondering could it be someway possible that the pepper spray for the mites has also provided a foliar feed of cal/mag also?
