spider mites? need help

hey guys, cam someone tell me what it may be and how to fix the issue?

i'm quite sure its not nute deficiency. i feed them with foxfarm fertilizers



thanks

Yea man, those little black dots are mites and the white dots, their eggs. They're like the plague... everyone's circumstances are different but for me, floramite (super expensive) and bayer brand safer soap with sulfur is what finally got them under control. Control being the keyword because I have yet to exterminate them 100% for good even after spraying religiously for almost a year now. Good luck to you

one year of constant application of floramite and you still have mites??? keep doing what you've always doe and you keep getting what you've always got right? time to try another technique I think. nobody likes to smoke floramite on their weed, and you dont like to breathe it either

I've tried everything you can think of, aside from predatory mites, but with all the damn chemicals, they won't last long enough to eradicate anyway. Like I said, like the damn plague these ones are. I think they adapted to most common treatments from half assed attempts at eradicating by my neighbor.. that's where I got them. They came upstairs from the apartment below

And no, 1 application of floramite has thus far gotten them under control. But I just spotted another live mite on 1 of my clones. So I resprayed everything again. I've gotten rid of them for only a month or so at a time. I keep spraying for 2-3 weeks every 3 or 4 days after I can't find any. Month later and they're back

If you're indoors, good luck getting rid of them 100%
hope all goes well
azamax
avid
forbid
floramite

Your mites are NOT under control. they do no good in a garden controlled your way or not. one mite is out of control.
good luck with these bstards

When you spray are you doing so every 3 days, alternating treatments? IME, this is the only way to fully eradicate them. Green Cleaner, Flying Skull, or SNS 217 one day and Floramite 3 days later until the breeding cycle is haulted and all others dead. This seems to work for a lot of growers but you have to diligently spray every inch of the plant, pots and surrounding area and it can take up to 3 months.
Once eradicated you can go back to a regular or organic IPM like azamax/azatol, pepper/peppermint sprays and the like.
Like chem said, it only takes one. Just ONE of those insidious bastards and the cycle starts all over again.
If none of that works you could go the avid/forbid route but I'd only do this on very young plants.

Are you growing outside? Normally they have enough natural predators outside to keep them in check but the plants have to be strong and healthy.
You could try spraying them down with one of the suggested brands above and try to halt further damage.
