f$%k ,f$%k. spider mites

[Drop That Sound]

I love spider mites though. Cute lil' buggers... If I died and could come back as any animal, I would probably be a spider mite, so I could suck on that sweet leaf all day. Ahh yeah!

A shop vac will remove visible mites then spray Citric acid 2tsp per qt water.. Spray the whole plant, both sides of the leaves.. If you're in flower it will brown the pistils..

@HydoDan is citric acid a preventitive for spider mites or do you have to have mites for it to be effective?

I would think spraying every two weeks would work as a preventitive.. Pretty effective at killing them..

Can you recommend a good sprayer that you use, bc the citric acid has been clogging up mine. Like send me a link to the exact one you use...... Also I have a jar of citric acid from last year I'm just gonna use instead of spending $60 on this other product. Killing 2 birds with one stone with the citric acid I guess on mites and PM.

I’ve been using this homebrew from OG since dude posted it, it works, it’s cheap, you can replace the everclear in the formula with vodka or iso(it’s really just their to act as an emulsifier)just adjust measurements appropriately

i think i have the upper hand , using just citric acid i cant find any more mites , i will keep up with the citric acid every 4 days .

all is not perfect in my garden of Eden though, one plant has taken things a bit harsher then the other . ill see how things go but i might just chop it a little early and let the other finish out .
maybe itll perk back up , i think i still have 4 weeks minimum to go

How do you make the solution, what kind of powder?
