Yellow, Orange & Brown Dots On Leaves

Well you need to control this! You can get some organic stuff..most things organic for s-mites work well..the problem is when you finally think you got rid of them..theyll come back double of what was there. If i was you i would try making your grow room less tropical..also theres no spray that will kill the eggs...they only kill the spider thats grown...you need to try to get the micro eggs with water and your finger...good luck man the eggs are on the top soil, and under the leaves mostly..they can be in every crack if you let them

Less tropical? I cant PM you dude and it would help as i can give more accurate info

also if it is indoor i would figure out a way to get your plants outside...if you can only for about thirty minutes...while there outside scrub that room with a little bleach...make sure you remove the bleach smell and anything toxic smelling...to be safe fuck the bleach, use soap and water. remember that s-mites love it and survive in tropical. if you cant control them they will kill your plant...also remember your plants breathe under there leaves...thats were all these spiders will hatch and feed!!! good luck

oh lol im new to this site...

Well thank god you signed up Dr DANKHeart

I appreciate your advise very much and will take on board what your saying, you'll need to allow for private messages to come through so i can let you know a bit more about my situation! Then maybe you might have an absolute remedy

Are LadyBugs the most effective means for spidermites?... Longterm?

I would defanetly try them ...those things are bad ass solders.. are you in soil or are you using a hyrdo setup

I also have to ask.. what stage are your plants in

Also very important is if you are going to set them outside for a sec...dont put them in direct sunlight because it will put them in shock

If your having this problem on just one plant then remove that plant from the room...see it sounds to me like it isnt bad yet..it will take time for the s-mites to kill the plant depending on the size of the plant..

Yes Soil.

Hes 1 week in flowering.

plants are all over 2ft but the one most insected is the biggest which is nearly 3ft. He removed all the worser leaves today and have sprayed down twice to raise humidty as i heard they dont like it.

another guy was here with a similar problem, we swore it was mites to him but he was sure it wasnt. so it turned out to be calcium deficiency. also it looks like you have phosphorus deficiency from the brown bruised leaves. i think in flowering u gotta give alot of phosphours. in the first picture i definitly see spider mite damage, i know cause i had them.

This now makes sense, the phosphorus deficiency was from the mites zapping it out

You might have a fungus a product like seranade will work. Use it once a week til the problem goes away. Drop a Pyrethrin fogger bomb to will kill any thing moving.

A Fungus? Aswell as mites? Or did you skip the middle pages lol?

Ok... So i went to war with the little bastards last night with a sulfur insecticide that specializes in spider mites and all of the main sluts, 4 pound! And i used the whole thing in one go!

So... i got cramp about 10 times from spraying so much as i done all plants to make sure they hadnt been taking vacations.

Kept the humidity relatively high since, today ive been keeping it above 85% to make sure any big bastards or hatched eggs that landed somewhere clean will want to move and get trapped in the poison, today i noticed white residues on all the leaves from the sulfur but more randomly i noticed some of the pistols had turned a lil orange and slightly wilted since hope it dosnt get any worse

Oh yeah good tip for spider mites - You really need to get under neath the leaves and the best way i found of doing this is to tip your pot forward and it gives you an open shot of bottom foliage

Its not over yet though!

Bugbomb will be ordered if i cant find one today due to the word straight from my uber growing friend who also thort of cheese clothin the air intake so no more problems arise!

Also im going to be getting some spidermite predators to put in my area.. hopefully they will reproduce and start a little planet of bad asses that eat everything but plants and if the problem doesnt seem to bounce back very quickly i might opt for a No Pest Strip, ive seen the Hot Shot one, anybody had success with this brand?

BIG UP BCBUDDY When everyone else thinks hahaha unlucky dude, he gets on the ball and gets shit sorted!

Damn, looked again today and some of the newer growth has dulled in colour and browned in some places

Does anybody think this would be the sulfur in the spray?
