If you dont spot em first, the signs are tiny spots on the leaves.

yep! iv got them, certianly is spider mite cos ive had it before. they've not started spinning webs on my buds yet tho, but they're chewing my leaves!

sprayed twice but my bug clear gun says not to use on flowering plants so i need an alternative asap!

they look like tiny black dots crawling along the leaf n with a keen eye u can see they look like tiny spiders with short legs.

little fuckers!

HELP!!!!!

alrite rocky? i used that buzz off stuff by bio bizz last time i had them. that was about 3 weeks from the chop n it didn't effect the taste of the weed . apparently it's organic so no probs wi chems. makes the place stink of peppermint though. 2 or 3good sprays a couple of days apart did the trick, then let them blo dry under a fan for an hour or 2 to prevent any rot. that was at a smidge over a ml per L. :wassnnme:
