blueovalbug Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 OK so might sound dumb so excuse me I brought 5 sachets of predators mites from growell because I had a small might problem and didn't want to spray in flower (5 weeks to be exact) they have been in about a week now and I'm starting to see webbs and little Crawley things but how do I know if they are friendly mites do predators mite make webbs like nasty spidermites do??? thanks jamie...

buddy13 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 no they don't.... sounds like you went too little too late..... you can spray them with water and some soap depending on your humidity(which I would guess is on the low side which is fine) and air movement/extraction... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalbug Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Looking at my calendar I put the predator mite in about 9 days after spraying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Which mites did you buy? Theres ones for prevention and others for curing infestation. E2A californicas is prevention, persimilis is for curing infestation. Edited March 20, 2022 by MindSoup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalbug Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 I have just ordered some persimilis should be here Tuesday if I can get them to slow the fuckers down would be a help.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindSoup Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Nice mate, even if they don't completely cure the issue they should at least slow them down quite considerably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Wardrobe Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just now, blueovalbug said: any suggestions Vaccuum cleaner! It's brutal but works to some degree. I was doing it a few runs back at the end of flower. Literally stuffing the buds up the open end of the hose. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalbug Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) I won't lie I've already had a go at this I did tape the end up slightly so the hole wasn't so big looks like il be doing that every nite for the next 2.5 week Edited March 29, 2022 by blueovalbug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mcgregor Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If their nearly done,speaking from bitter experience,I'd chop em now. The only thing that cleared the borg from my groom is 'love potion no9' a top secret blend of aqua,Ipa,tea tree oil and surcare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
