Thanks guys! Tardis, it's always a cage match with these bugs, but in my little experience the Ogs tend to have pretty good bug resistance. I do treat them weekly in veg with Neem and soap mix, or EM-1, or Bronners. Mites build up resistance quick, but seem to be more of a problem in summer than winter. I also check all the undersides of my leaves daily and remove any bugs before they begin. Whatcha got growing over there on the garden isle?

Right now in veg I got 7 plants. Cheesequake, Jilly Bean, Chernobyl, Chocolope, Apollo 13, and a couple others.

Worst strain ever for spidermites was Serious Seeds White Russian outdoor. Also my DNA OG #18 in the summer seemed to attract the mites as well (which is why i asked). But overall with most hybrids i've been very lucky with insects.

regarding pest: SPIDER MITES & other cannabis pests

these are probably the most common cannabis pest on the planet earth! But they are also the easiest to deal with too!!! What I see is the biggest problem for people with "spider mites" is apathy. People just become complacent and lazy. If you treat your infected garden, say every three days for 12 days. I'm pretty sure you'll be 100% spider mite free. That's if you don't get lazy with spider mite management! I use a three prong attack on bugs on my girls. I'll spray one day with Aza Max, then next day spray again this time with 'Organicide',followed by a treatment with 'Neem Oil'. At the end of all this, I'll sit down with pocket microscope and proceed to look for "stragglers" a Q-tip and Rubbing alcohol as my tool of defense. When I say "stragglers", I'm usually talking about "Mealy Bugs". They are semi hard to eradicate,in my opinion because of their "waxy" type skin/fur. Plus they are ever omni present on cannabis plants grown in Hawaii.

ANTS:

I'm constantly telling people to only worry about ants when you see them going south! If you see them heading north on your plant, no worries! They are usually after Afhids or eggs of Afhids. Ants going south can be problems. So keep a close eye, ar all times. and don't get lazy!!!

Happy Holidays!!

Great Post Puna B~

If you see ants near your plants... you should be worried...
Ants in the vicinity of your ganja is a telltale sign that there may be parasite..
There is nothing specifically that the ants would want from your plants...

Ants and Aphids have a mutual relationship where they help each other... The ants protect the aphids from other predators, while the aphids secrete a sticky substance that the ants collect and carry back to their nest ...
Ants and termites are also allies in many instances...

i think your thinking of "police in helicopter" idunno who does the original but theres a really good remix by million stylez.

also surfd, those seem like priming nuggeted plants. imo thats the best size to keep managable and think i went a little over board this grow haha. not saying thats a bad thing tho... and puna that blackberry looks soooo good. good plant size structure and appearance well done.

Stealing presents from the earth on christmas day... thats a new level of evil.
