Could this pest be Spider Mites?

Well crapiola and double crapiola!

I have some kind of pest im my tent that was probably transported from outside when I brought her in. They are “only” on about 10% of the plant so far that I can see

Under a loupe, they look like tiny white oval shaped bugs with white pinchers.

I’m 2 weeks or so from harvest. Can I kill them in time?

Those look like aphids. But same treatment as mites. If relatively minimal infestation, you should be alright. Just do a thorough bud wash.

Thanks. Just ran over to Lowes and got some Capt. Jacks Dead Bug.

Do I spray everything, including the buds?

Yep. It rinses away wish bud wash. Oil based sprays shouldn’t be used in flowers, but cjdbb is good up until chop.

Ok, got it all sprayed.

Last question: When I do harvest and bud wash…do I wash before wet trimming… or after just on the trimmed buds before I hang them?

PS I’ve never wet trimmed a wet plant

I usually take all the large, longer stemmed fan leaves before drying, but that’s it. As long as you wash the buds thoroughly you’ll be fine. Just don’t get real vigorous.

Just got the concentrated bottle of Captain Jack’s dead bug at the local soulless big box store (you know the one that’s always by Lowe’s…)for $5 if you want to stock up. I can never resist the end of season sales. CJDB is the go to any time pests invade.

I’ve been using Growers Ally Crop Defender 3 for my recent grow and before that I was still using Growers Ally Spider mite and Fungicide. Crop Defender 3 is a newer product they just released that’s a miticide, fungicide and an insecticide all in one bottle.

This is a spider mite spazzin out in some CJDB.

@HeyJB

You kill me!

You missed your true calling in life!

Call HeyJB for all your extermination needs. Photos to prove its working or your money back! :laughing: :rofl: I was curious if it was working or not. It is!

I’d hire you right on the spot!!!

I hav some bad aphid infestations and cjdb didnt bother them at all. Dr brommers oil soap had a little better results but then i ordered ladybugs and they cleaned up all the pests. Without harm to the plants or the end users

You think I could throw them inside my tent?

Yep thats what we did. And even put in a lil ladybug house so they could reproduce and some food when the aphids became scarce. Now and again i see ladybug larvae in there. But no aphids or mites. Any that get out we put them back or the cats get. 1500 costs about 10 bucks.

That’s awesome. What is the ladybug house? Did you just buy that too?

Yeah, she ordered the house an some food for them. All amazon ibelieve

Looks like I’m headed to amazon for some ladybugs. Thanks for the heads up on this!
