New Grower DREDAY's super critical closet CFL 350WATTS

IF it's spider mites, and I haven't seen anything here to convince me it is, spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Both are available locally at Lowes or Home Depot. That will kill the adults and repeat treatment in 3-4 days to kill any that hatch out afterwards. If they are spider mite eggs there would also have to be adults. If there are adults then there should also be some white hair like threads. Best to take a magnifying glass, 20 or 30 x, and look on both sides of the leaves and at the buds. Spider mites usually attack the buds and make their webs there.

Post some pictures so we can take a look.

mites?/

just got done foliar feeding my plants and spraying the mites with my compost tea...

 

[Muddy]

Do you know for certain that you have spider mites? Compost tea won't kill them. That is a nutrient for the plants.

I just had to dump my tank of 40 plants throwing them into the garbage. Don't delay look carefully on the underside of the leafs and look for any web formations starting mostly on the buds. If you either see poppy sized insects either yellow or red you got em. The red ones are really hard to kill I treated them with neem oil and insecticidal soap and neither product killed them. I wish you good luck in getting rid of them if you got em. I eventually had to fumigate the room and I will be starting up again with hanging pest strips in there. I do hope they are gone for me and good luck to you with yours. I do hope you don't have them.

I have never tried alcohol but many people say it is very effective. Many have suggested hanging those pest strips such as Vapona and Ortho. I bought a couple of pest strips and I fumigated the grow room but I won't know how effectve it is until I replant. I got fifty seeds in Jiffy pucks waiting to hatch out so I will know in about a month if everything worked.
