Jammin Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 What has happened to my little baby!? The effects of using a strong buzz off solution me thinks! Had a pretty lethal spidermite problem considering its size so i doused the little buggers and i think ive butchered my plant! Nightmare man. I dont know if thats the cause for sure, have moved my light up again incase thats the problem. I doubt it though, seems its no ones fault but my own! Poor little thing was only small, thats the only seed out of 5 that made it aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Woops! Methinks this little one was w-a-y too young for a full on dose of Buzz-off. Quarter strength I reckon is tops at that age, and even then only if you really must. I'd be inclined to rinse it off ASAP, and hope it recovers {weed is very strong at recovering from things}. But others may well have better advice for you, so hang on a while...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Cheers arnold. Will keep that in mind for future reference. Have rinsed off now and fed with a SMAll amount of superthrive in an attempt to kick start recovery. What exactly have i done? I didnt realise it was possible to nuke a plant with buzz off? Unfortunately didnt have a choice, the spidermite had already claimed the first set of leaves. Jammin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Bravo Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I have used buzz off in the past and found it quite effective at controling, but not eliminating SM. I too suffered the problem you have and yes it appears the solution was too strong. I even had it happen on big mature plants. Are you leaving it 5 days between applications? I had an horrific infestation and am now perfectly clear of them thanks to the spidermite predators. Best used during vegging, I bought 2 x 500 for 20 plants and after 2 weeks there were no SM that were visible. It`s now 5 weeks later and still no sign. It`s highly likely that the plant will survive, but the mites need eliminating. I lost over half my yield from the last two grows due to mites, around 8 oz. So 10 quid for a vial of mites is well worth it. How have you ended up with mited from a seedplant? They normaly come in on infected clones and plants. See if you can trace thier origin.
