Mites on clones???

[healing of the nation92]

Ok now either im tripping major balls cause im paranoid as fuck or ive got mites on my clones, ive noticed like the odd brown spot or two and if i look really closely i can see white stuff which i could have confused with resin cause when i touch it it makes my fingers sticky and ive been told that when u touch mites you can feel them moving around on your skin SOMEONE HELP A BROTHER OUT!!!

Your discription doesn't sound like spider mite. I've had them two times and they are a mother fucker on nerves.
I guarantee you that you can not feel them on your finger. The are so small, you can barely see them when newborn

Look for any strands of webbing.

Look under the leaves for small spots (mites) and an off colored white area (thats the eggs)

I spent 7 months getting rid of them this last time. I used damn near everything but Neam Oil.

Neam Oil does work, but too strong of a dose will burn the leaves.

I paid a fortune for Liquid Lady Bug. It kills the adults, but not the eggs so they keep coming back.

Finally I bought "No Spider Mites" That stuff is also very expensive, but it killed the bastards and their
eggs in two sprays - 3 days apart. It did a little damage to the leaves, but the plants were stressed out
from all the other shit I tried.

Good luck - persistance and addressing the issue of mites quickly makes a big difference.

Pics don't work for me.

Take a look on the underside of the foliage with a loupe, it's a mite's worst enemy, every grower should have one. Give your clones a spray of white oil. Live mites are whitish, dead mites are black and eggs look like mini fish oil capsules.

I usually treat infested plants 2-3 times over the course of a few weeks, and remove badly affected foliage.

Sorry, I can't see any pictures.

The webbing starts pretty quick once they are mature. But the first few days you may not see any webbing at all. They look like single strands.

For now, spray them down from the underside with water and see if they return in about 8 hours or less.

Your welcome. One thing to keep in mind. Having some solution that is made to dip new clones in is a good idea. I've gotten mites from two different dispensaries. I know after the last mess that whenever I add a new strain, it will be dipped and placed in a completely different space like out in my shed. They will stay there for at least a week to inspect before they come into the garden.

thanks man i use clonex root gel for them, btw you should try wiping down your space that was infested with mites with some sort of disinfectant like dettol or even something that kills mites cause they can live on anything not just your plants even your clothes
