Got a couple clones from my neighborhood dispensary couple weeks ago.. i repotted em and they finally are starting to grow. Theyve put on a couple sets of leaves and are looking good now but now i look closely... Found a small web and you know the rest.

I have them in a Secret Jardin (dr60?) 2.5' X 2.5', along with 12 other veg plants.. I dont see any mites on the other plants but it looks like the soil in those 2 clones has some web activity. These are GDP babies and I would hate to toss em, but i also have other rad strains i dont want to lose. (casey jones, blue cheese, bubblegum, SSH x ChemD...)

Last time i had mites i tried all the DIY remedies and ended up with not only a larger infestation of mites, but also white and some sort of black flies lol... not going that route.

sent wifey to get some neem spray...but i am wondering does anyone have experience with sulfur? Also i have my larger tent in the same room and those are 1 week from chop. Dont see any signs of bugs on them yet..

Need some advice here!! THANKS

Are you using this as a preventive spray or just when you get infested?

get a no pest strip from home depot, about 7 bucks, cut off the exhaust at night , vent normal during the light on period, in 2 days they will all be dead, take the no pest strip put it in a ziplock bag and save it for future use. Lots of ppl aren't fans of these but they work. They will solve your problem.

t spoon of neem oil, drop washing up liquid, 2 litres water, shake n spray at lights out, stems and under leaves, makes plant taste bad, makes them forget to eat, forget to breed, makes them sick, dehydrates them, suffocates them, stops eggs hatching, good for cure and prevention ...............

i use neem oil mixed a teaspoon to a gallon of water with a few drop of dish soap mixed in. spray for 7 days straight to kill the adults and the young as they hatch to break the cycle. for maintence i spray a few times a week. if my plants have more than 30 days to harvest i'll use raid bug bombs on bad infestations. keep your grow area clean and vacumed. good luck with the little bastards.
