What are these and how can I get rid of them?

[archtype111]

I have found these tiny white mites/bugs on the top and eggs on the bottom of both greenhouse and outdoor plants. I just noticed them yesterday so need to edadicate asap and looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance

the borg

spider mites

my choice would be to hit them with some Pyganic asap

You have got enough mites on your plants to be considered an infestation at this point. Pyganic will help, but it’s not going to kill your mites. There is something fairly new on the market called lost Coast Plant Wash, which advertises it gets rid of mites within three applications. It is non-toxic and can be used in the flower, but I wouldn’t go too far with it…

my plan was to spray one day with Pyganic….

note: in the sprayer that I used , I would add 4-5 drops of Dawn liquid soap for better coverage , like underneath the leaves

next day I sprayed with Azamax

the next day I sprayed with Spinosad

wash , rinse , repeat until mites are gone

this works for me…..everyones milage may vary

One thing is for sure....you grow good mites....ha ha. Listen to Boo and Big they will guide you through this. We all have had issues with these varmints at one time or another.

the last war with the borg took me about 10 days to get them under control

this was outdoors and the plants were in late veg

Takes me a week to make sure they are gone. I use nothing but Azamax. Three applications every other day. Never had them in flower and don't want them.....that is a horse of a different color.

every grower who grows long enough have really good odds for catching the borg……

sometimes it is just good practice to spray and treat the plants even if the DONT have bugs

prevention is more fun than war

I just washed them down with

Sil-MATRIX - Fungicide / Miticide / Insecticide​

anyone have any experiance with it? Can I spray too much of this on the plants? I am trying too cover as much as possible. Repeat every other day?

Been indo since 01 and have yet to have any.

It says that it is good for mites. Same as Azamax and Pyganic

 

[user 60570]

looks like it says once every 7 days if I am reading the label correctly

that looks like some pretty good stuff

have you used it in the past?

I hear that a lot.

I did not preventively spray sil-matrix this year as I have the last two. So there you go for not following procedures.
Plan A: Add 4-5 drops of dish soap to my sprayer with Sil-matrix in it. Do a complete hose down of plants in the greenhouse and plants outside.

 

[archtype111]

The sil-matrix was recommended to me by a commercial hemp farmer

Have not been cannabis farming long but when we got spider mites on tomato plants we just used neem oil.

Kills em dead, suffocates the little bastards

I spray every Monday for Thrips. Little fkers just appear out of nowhere.

I have had spider mites twice over the years. Both times It was because I got cuts from and outdoor grow. Anymore they go into quarantine for a week and they get sprayed well.

Ain't no bugs on me....Ain't no bugs on me......might be bugs on some of you mugs but there ain't no bugs on me.
