No doubt about it, spider mites, and a lot of them. Pyrethium bombs may help slow them down, but you are not going to get rid of them during this grow, sorry to be harsh but it is reality. I would not spray anything on them if indoors and in bloom already. Doktor Doom bombs about once every 10 days should help you limp through. Get a shop vac and spend many hours carefully removing the bulk of the bugs. I have done this before and while tedious and time consuming, it will work to reduce their numbers.

You don not want to smoke or ingest any buds (or leaf) that has been treated with oils or pesticides. It would be highly irresponsible to distribute toxic meds to other folks.

Once this crop is done clean your room very thoroughly with bleach, twice! Then use a preventative program of Avid, Floramite, Forbid, and Shuttle rotation in the vegetative stage to prevent reinfestation.

I've had a good look through 30x magnifying glass and what I've seen doesn't look like a spider mite? it looks like a thrip i pulled off a damaged fan leaf almost the size of my hand and only found 1? surely if i had a massive spider mite infestation i wouldn't have to look for them I'd see them everywhere?

Ghost spidermites can be hard to spot by the naked eye if your not fimilar with them and there damage patterns, from the look of ur leafs i thought bug problem straight away cause i've been to hell and back with bugs believe u me. I think i've bought everything the "shop guys" told me to get .. Smc i thought worked untill i got closer til the end of the crop and seen these f##kers back , plant vitality+ did the same thing... I used them both within 3 days and turned my buds black/silvery shit. so be careful how you apply it..I got pics somewhere..
i also use a sulphur burner(hotbox) that doesn't get rid either but it helps alot ..
I recomend Pyth 5 EC- tried it once and never looked elsewhere..
Last for ages and can be used on flowering buds as its a natural insecticide..

I would nt listen to hydro store owners in the U.K unless you know them personaly... Believe me when i say that could be the worst place to get info , i've heard countless bullshit come out of store owners mouths ..Even followed a few of there bs programs and ended up with like 15-17 products ...
Research and research ghost the nets got lot going for it ,dont take know one persons view on cannabis ..dont make sense ...check all info against others untill you build an understanding..
First thing i think you should do ghost is look up some info on "bugs" and there causes/patterns and insectides..

Hope that helps alittle..
