He must have caught them very late on just before harvest because they never had time too show leat damage etc,

i got half z from him and noticed an awful lot of mites on the buds, is it atall possible these came after harvest or would they not attack a plant whats no longer living

Hes really took it to heart & wants to quit growing because of the setback ( 27z all mited up) is it possible to even do anything to help remove them without ruining his weed

thank you

Clean the buds and then make ice hash. Good luck!

Give a post harvest bath (15 minutes) in a warm solution of Dr Zymes Eliminator and water, it'll dissolve them. Rinse after.

Thank you, will this leave any harsh/horrible taste afterwards & what about mould problems after washing it when its all completely dry at this point.

appreciate it

Thing is that won’t resolve webbing already in buds
Would that have already have taken place at this stage or do you notice other telltale signs first? He insists he never saw anything on his plants right upto harvest, no dotted leaves/webbing etc
(Not had the issue myself so its new to me)

Put a bud in a grinder and find out if it leaves webbing
