Thanks bro, lets just hope the rest don't end up with some fucking bugs on them. I got a magnifiying glass and looked at all them carefully. They seem to be ok.

Thanks for thank link picasso, I'll check that out..

Looks like it could almost be spider mites. They kind of look like their eggs, but I don't see anything that actually looks like the bugs themselves.

Ok, I've read more about them and it says you can't see them with the naked eye. I can definitely see something, most likely eggs like I said before. So maybe it's not spider mites?

if you grab two spunges, wet them and VERY gently put the leaf in between. and slide off. do that to all of them twice and you should get it under controll

It Could Be Thrips Poss. Get One Of Those Strips In My Journal. And There Gone. Your Plants Are Small Enough, And If The Infestation Has Just Begun Then I Would Hand Wipe And Rinse Each Leaf, With A New Fresh Sponge, Rinse Each Time, Or Leaf. This Is The First Line Of Deff. In My Books For Smaller Plants With This Issue. Db.:)

Thanks guys...yea I took a look at thrips and spider mites, they don't really look like then from the pics I've seen. But what the fuck do I know right?

I'm going to get something and wipe them all off. They rub off fairly easy...I just hope there isn't any live ones around. Do they usually lay eggs then die?

Ok, so I thought those were eggs when they were really the bugs themselves. They are like a yellowish white..maybe more white. They are really small and you can see them crawling around all over the plant. They are every where now! At the nodes, on the stems, and on the leaves. They seem to like the hot weather because they weren't doing that in my grow room.

Ideas??

Actually, now that I've seen more pics and those things I thought were eggs started to move... I think they are spider mites!

They kinda look like this bug on the right:



This really sucks...should I try to save my baby? It was just the runt and I wasn't expecting much from it, but it was really starting to take off. Does this mean this fucking things could be everywhere in the grow room? Do you suggest I take the plants out and vacuum the shit outa the grow room?

Some of them look to be a milky white color, then I see some that look black. Do they turn this color when they have been feeding?

**UPDATE**

Any one ever use those sprays that contain pyrethrin to eliminate these things?

Yes,they change color as they EAT YOUR BABIES. Spider mite is the words I was afraid to type, lol.

I've never fought them. Everything I've read though sounds like there are no half measures. You are in a life and death battle now.

Yea, I figured that much....

I'm going to head to Lowes or Home Depot to see if they carry anything that contains pyrethrin. If not, then I will head to the hydro store first thing in the morning.

I cleaned out my grow room and put the infected plant outside.

Sounds like you caught it early. Good luck.

Yea, they were all chillin under the leaves when I first spotted them. When I moved them outside they where fucking everywhere! Apparently they like the heat so I guess they woke up or something.

I Feel Your Pain. I Had Mites About 1 Week In To Flower. I Thought I Got Ridd Of Those Bastards But In The 8th Week Of Flower They Returned With Vengence. My Problem Was That The Stuff I Bought Did Not Kill The Eggs Only The Mite. So When I Had A Few Warm Days In The Mid To High 80s In The 7th Week The Eggs Hatched And Then Infested My Beutifull Plants Once Again. They Still Had 2-3 Weeks Left Befor They Were Done. O Well It Seems You Have Caught Them While Still In The Veg Stage. I Have Read That Anything With Neem Oil Is Good To Use. I Could Not Find Anything So I Went With A Pesticied. It Caused Some Problems With The Leaves On My Plants But All In All It Was Minimal. To Help Combat These Bastards It Is Sugested That You Lower The Max Room Temp To The Mid 70s And Using Fans 24hrs Will Help To Slow The Progress Of The Mites And Alow The Product That You Find Do Its Job. I Suggest That Once You Finish This Grow Leave The Lights On And Raise The Temps To About 90 (this Should Alow Any Eggs Left In The Room To Hatch. Then Break Down Everything In The Room And Spray With A 5-10% Bleach Solution. You Should Be Ok It Sounds Like You Are Acting On This Issue. If You Dont Catch The Mites Early And Act Then You Are Facing A Hard Battle. Good Luck

Km!!

Hey thanks for stopping by and for the advise Mr. Kush!

I went to Lowes and picked up a new digital timer...a spray bottle...and of course, THE MITES KILLER!

------------------------------------------------

Operation Pwn Spider Mites

Cominsing in tee minus 10...9...8...7...6...5...4..3...2...1..



Above we have a spider might party and several of their friends. I decided to break up the shindig with some 3-in-1 Garden Spray. This is suppose to be safe for most plants and fruits/vegetables. It contains potassium salts and sulfur. It is derived from natural fats and plant oils.




I sprayed all the soil on the plants that hadn't been affected just for safe measures. I also sprayed the infected plant all over the stems and under the leaves as well as on top.

We shall see what this does. So if anyone has had this problem or is interested to see the outcome for future refrence...STAY TUNED.

y0 picasso, what's cracken bro? You doin good?

So I got Plant 4 in rehab right now..that bitch is starting to look better. I just sprayed her down again...

I'm thinking after I nurse her back to good health, I'm going to put it into 12/12 as a test to see what I can get out of it. It will be out on the back of my patio where it will get plenty of light from 6 am to 6 pm.

May the force be with me...



BTW..

I'm drunk and stoned...figuring out this digital timer is pretty hard...
