doobthenewbParticipantDecember 8, 2025 at 2:57 pmI got some clones from a friend after i got my tent setup, it’s a 2×4 with 2 plants, GDP and Blue Dream, The BD was already 3-4 weeks old and the GDP was 1-3 weeks behind. I had some early PH issues until i got a proper tester and stopped using strips. Got some good growth after fixing ph and felt comfortable flipping to flower with how much the GDP caught up and couldn’t afford for the BD to get bigger. Flipped to flower and discovered spider mites on the BD. I had been spraying weekly with spinosad and had diatomaceous earth on the floor. I sprayed with spinosad and the next day I started used a puffer to spread diatomaceous earth throughout the canopy, ripped off the most infested leaves, I found it early, only slight webbing down the spines of a few fan leaves, none between the fingers of leaves.
My question is how do I know when I’ve won? I’m not finding any new webbing, I’m still seeing mites, idk if they’re dead. it’s been 3 days so I may be impatient. I’ve got wettable sulfur coming to spray down with in 2 days. gonna use mammoth from now on. But it’s make or break cuz I don’t wanna spray once bud sites form, it’s win or scrap the grow and reset.
