Best way to get rid of thrips and spidermites??

zoombud · Jul 23, 2011

Hey guys!

I have both thrips and spider mites on my plant...although I think the thrips are the main problem. What is the best way to get rid of these without harming my plant? I don't want to use ladybugs because they don't last. There is a spider chilling on my plant, so I think that is at least good.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

if their not flowering just hit them with some fungicide from wall mart, thats all i use in veg, and never have bug problems in flower :eyesmoke:

ladybugs will work, they are cheap but you get way more than you need.

Look for liquid ladybug. Stuff works like a champ! And it's organic so you can spray it on budz and leave the lights on and you don't have to be cautious around it. Good luck.

fungicide does not kill spider mites or mites. that would be a wasted of money and unnecessary chemicals on the plant. If not in bud then neem oil is probably your best choicee

Abamectin E Pro 0.15 (which is the same as avid) protects for 4 weeks and kills aphids, thrips, spidermites and whiteflies. Floramite and Forbid work great also, but I wouldn't use any of them past the first week of flowering.

jesus here I go again, get a fucking atomist and basically it doesn't matter what you spray, an oil based something or other like purespray green works well, I've recently bought some mighty wash and as where I posted with it hadn't given it a full run test with the atomist. get fucking atomist and spray nothing but water and you'll do more damage to the little fuckers than you think, throw in a very small amount of purespray green and you'll surely have control withing a day or so. be diligent with the sprayer and spray only water most of the time(just to wash the purespray residue and maybe some of the dead little fuckers off.......

Neem is nothing but a oil basically and all a oil is gonna do is coat them, dry, and then suffocate the little bastards, even the eggs.
