Just checked my last lowryder.
It was pollenated and is now 9 weeks and seeds
r nearly ready.
Plant is getting old and putting its energy into the seeds
but I noticed a web over the plant.
Can't see anything moving.
Any ideas wot is happening ?

i read somwhere that if you put dill in you grow room will help with mites not sure weather they get rid of them or stop them coming in the first place
Last night I was busy with the borg.
Cleared and cleaned out the veg cupboard.
All shelfs, supports, shade, walls were washed
down in a detergent solution.
I ve got 6 one week old seedlings and a 2 week old widow
in there. Examined and cleaned the leaves on each of
them using a 15x magnifier to get rid of mites and their eggs.
Gonna monitor each day to make sure the babies don't get infested.
Quite easy to check the seedlings as there is not a lot of leaf to check.
Chopped the last lowryder and a ripe hempstar.
Ive isolated them to stop the gits from infesting the drying area.
The lowryder is only for seeds but the hempstar was due to be
chopped for my ongoing smoke but this might have to be binned???
The flowering cupboard will be a bitch as I have plants I'd rather save.
White Widow: 6wk flowering
White Widow: 4wk flowering
Hempstar 3wk flowering
Hempstar 2wk flowering
White Widow Just started flowering.
Gonna go today and try to find a chemical killer
from diy store.
Anybody got a fav killer of mites that they
recommend????
All help well appreciated.

Make some butane or bubble with it. The first sign of mites should be small white specs on the leaves and mites on the underside, that is when u should act fast. Good luck, mites are a proper hassle.
I got the red spider mites some time back, after using SB Plant Invogorator they never came back, not one.
It's been at least 3 month since i saw the last one...
Peace

I have just got the borg on my C99 and my MC2, mind you they arent as bad. I have been controlling them with bio bizz , buzz off while i wait for the SB Plant Invigourater too arrive. OT1 has said that it rocks and its highly recommended to see off the borg. Also you can get it from the uk420 shop 
I'm sure I've smoked borg-infested buds before now - they are, after all, just like teeny weeny prawns 
ahem!.....I've been called some nefarious insults in my time but that really is taking things too far 
sorry...clicked twice
sorry for you b.t. go with oldtimers advice though....was spot with the results when I got thrips.
Borg Wars Update.
The veg cupboard seems to be clear at present.
have been checking the seedlings with a 15x magnifier
and things are looking quiet.
[attachmentid=118912]
The plants in the flowering cupboard got a good spraying
with Provado Bug Killer. 15ml per ltre.
Seems to have killed most mites but a few still remain.
Due another spray in 2 days.
I have also washed the leaves in a mild soap solution
applied with a sponge.
Will check the flowering cupboard when lights go on soon.
We wait n see.
