spankydemonkey Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 have you checked the undersides of the leafs for spidemites? dont see no point taking plants out and using a flea bomb, coz it will not do anything, coz the spidermites lives on the plants.

kgb Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) u got to start the battle NOW,while youve only got a few go into your plant room and try and remove as many as poss by hand!!,then spray the plants the undersides of ALL the leaves with water(slows em down a bit)!ive never used sb but the sooner you treat the plants the better ,i used to use something called torque but i havent managed to find it for a long time!!,remember 1 mite is 1 to many!!....do not underestimate the little cunts!!!! ive had many a battle with em !!..on 1 occasion i only won when i moved house!!!!,remember treat every plant(every bit of it) ,not just the ones you can c mite on!!if poss physically dip the plant in the treatment!(obvously if there are budding then this is a no no) Edited March 14, 2010 by kgb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnip Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Give them a good flush through with water, there could be a buildup of salts then feed as per Ionics' instructions 7ml per litre or ec 1.5 at ph 5.8. At 5 weeks plants should easily be able to handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL CHEDZ Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Do you have a filter or something on your water pipes somewhere? no mate thats out of the tap !!!!!!! do a mite check,cos if u got em they will b more of a problem than your ec levels!!!! cheers bud iam gonna go get a flea bomb in a short while just to be sure !! peppi Dont set a flea bomb off if ur not sure if youve got mites you will see them on the undersides of the leaves, you will see them moving, use a magnifying glass if u not sure. But if ur ec is near 3 then ur overcookin em ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
