i have a few plants outside and have been using pure crop 1 and it seemed to work on mites pretty well. but my plants have never been covered in that much web tho. i would inspect the plants regularly and as soon as i saw a strand of web, i sprayed my plants. now they're starting to flower and no major pest issues at this point. even tho i removed some type of egg the other day off a top leaf. it was small and green and attached to a thin stem...not sure what type of bug it was going to be

But do u think it’s salvageable I really don’t think so it’s already week 3 in flower. Plus it being a pretty heavy infestation I don’t think they will stay gone for very long.

that's a great answer...... that DOESNT ANSWER THE FUCKIN QUESTION THAT WAS AKSED NOW DOES IT....
Funny, I thought you were given the correct answer, no need to act like a bitch. But I will spell it out for you. In order to kill the mites you need to use poison that would make any buds worthless, but in your case fck it. Get a good miticide fogger or a bunch of no pest strips, those will kill the mites. Enjoy your smoke.

probably not, from EVERYWHERE that i have read, its probably not salvageable. they do have stuff that will wipe the mites out, BUT i'm not sure if you want that stuff to get into your smoke and then into your body

Look. There’s nothing about it. The plants can’t be saved. You have spider mites. A lot of them. Unless you want to smoke pesticides, then be my guest. You can try removing the webs and mites but they’ll just come back. Good luck

It’s unfortunate for sure. Live and learn. I see people “should I put my plants outside during the day?” One answer to that... Absolutely NOT. And there is your reason. Little bugs

I just had that problem. But from clones I got from someone. No where near as bad as an infestation like yours, but enough to make me trash them immediately!!! Those suckers get every where and on everything because they’re microscopic. All they do is drop eggs and destroy what ever they touch. The cons of trying to save that plant out weighs the pros by far. Get your self some of the stuff in the attachment. Guarantee your tent is infested, especially if you can see the freaking web. They are extremely small, and the fact that you can see the web should be all you need to see.
