Full Version: Cheese Infestation Epidemic
Please!
Read that it was a bit of a magnet. And guess what? 
never on me cheese
I keep one cheese plant just to feed my little mites.
That way they hopefully fucking leave the rest of me babies alone..thats the plan anyway.
Defo mite magnet, worse I've ever grown for mites, dunno how it works, but my grow room without cheese is normally ok - with cheese... and it gets mites quickly. My routine is the same in terms of cleanliness etc etc.

Definitely see minute 'pearls' under leaves under the magnifying glass. The surface of leaves looks as though it had an infestation and there are no visible crawlies. The leaves are also pretty shiny/hard, like a coating, is that neem oil?
There are bumps that look like there could be eggs inside the leaves which means the 20 quid I've spent on Pissoff (or summutorudder) is rendered useless, and will be passed on and on.

Are you sure its spider-mite? What is the evidence, apart from "pearls", by which I assume you mean eggs? Got any piccies of the damaged laeves? If it is mites the leaf surface will have hundreds of tiny white specks appearing on it. Turn the leaf over and even with an eye as old and fuzzy as mine you can see tiny black spots scuttling about. Under a lense they look like little crabs.
I have a multi strain grow which includes Cheese. I found her quite resistant to the mite, ESBxHolyweed did attract them, but they always seemed to die after a week or two.
Used correctly, Buzz-off is very effective.

...
Cant see any mites on my cheese....
Surface ...
Again ...
Under-side ...
Again ...
The black bits are just dirt, the more observant will see micro tapioca pudding. The eggs appear to be emerging from the blisters.
What shall I do? Remove all the leaves and hope new ones don't get infected? Or is there a treatment for it?
Don't mind using crude substances, if must.

Well if you have mites then they will go for the cheese plant ,i know this from experience and mites do tend to like specific varietes.It took me about 6+ months to get rid of them and now dont have any so if your prone to mites and want to grow cheese get the buzz off out it does work .
