Doc's Mite Control

Update note: On Jan. 9, 2017 Canna Montana used this method to blast mites off their HB plants. She had the time of her life doing so, and was satisfied with the results.

Thank you Doc, for this simple response to the Borg.

Well done on the cull! It's hard to do it, but after a couple times I swear it helps your growing. When we fall in love with the plants, we often don't see things we should. After a few culls, it help!

The veg plants look spectacular, per usual.

I'm using a new mite regimen and we're winning the battle over Cannabis Cup mites, without using anything resembling a miticide.

After pruning in veg which I usually do twice, about 2 weeks apart, I spray Leaf Wash (High Brix product...horticultural oils and fish juice) on high pressure, and I visualize pressure washing every inch of the plant, leaf, stem, top, bottom. My goal would be to physically remove every mite.

The whole time, I'm also applying foliars as needed and I'm also using them to blast away mites. I mix 'em 3/4 strength.

Then, just prior to transplanting I do the same thing, and then a couple days later, and then one more time a couple days after that. The plants love it, and I'm back to being able to just let the mites live and not do any damage. It's taken a couple months, but it's working.
