Hi guys I need help if there is enyone who could help me I have three plants and I noticed white powder on a few leafs didn’t think enythink off it as I’m new to this but now I’ve looked under the leafs and I’ve seen spider mite moving around I haven’t been able to take eny photos I’m 17 days in to flower what can I do or am I best getting rid and starting all over but cleaning the room down first ??
I added a pic of the plants I have from yesterday
Those plants look a very manageable size. I'd take them into the bath tub/shower. Grab the shower head if you have a flexible one and shoot water up the under sides of the of the leaves to knock the mites and eggs off. I do this regularly as a preventative measure and its way easier on the girls than sprays. That being said it's something you have to manage the fuckers will always seem to come back.
Control your temps mites have a reproductive cycle of 3 weeks to maturity at 24 degrees Celsius vs 3-5 days at 30 degrees Celsius.
Another thing you can do is get a small vacuum and vacuum the under sides of all leaves.
I wouldn't use Neem oil during flower since it's gross to smoke.
On vegging plants and moms not too bad as you'll shed all those leaves by the time it flowers. I used Safers insecticidal soap when pruning/bathtub isn't working. Two sprays 4 days apart.
Also if you spray and products on the girls don't do it during lights on as this will burn the plants. They need time to dry before getting the light
