I am familiar with that "thought" myself. Since I set up the room in the fall of 2017 I have been at war with the Spider Mite nation. I win battle after battle but the war is a stalemate...there is no winning unless I completely stop using the room and do a nuclear clean-up over a 6 months time.I thought I have gotten rid of the spider mites.
Sounds like two different things. Mites and webbing go together. Brown stuff at the leaf tips can be many things until we figure out what the brown stuff is. Take a few pictures and select the best one or two and post those so we can see what you are seeing when you say "webbing on top" and "brown stuff".Went into the grow room and saw webbing on top and brown stuff on the tips of some of the leaves.
I tried Ladybugs once and that was a waste. What happened to your Ladybugs? If they are like mine a lot of them were gone in a matter of hours and by the next day less than 5% were still around. The first thing they do is eat a bunch of mites and then crawl off somewhere else to look for more food. After they leave the area the Mite eggs will be hatching and 3 to 4 days later the new Mites are laying eggs.I let out three thousand ladybugs. I thought it was going my way till today.
Depends on the timing of your current grow. Are you still in the vegetating stage or in the flowering stage? If in the flowering stage then how many more weeks till harvest?Is anything that I can do.
My go to for bugs during flowering is a solution of limonene and Bronner's peppermint soap. Limonene is one of the primary cannabis terpenes, and you can purchase it online as food grade orange oil, or orange essential oil. Beware of limonene sold in plastic... it can wind up containing plastic chemicals. I don't use any limonene on my cannabis plants that comes from a plastic bottle... only glass. Limonene is a potent insecticide, but care must be taken not to use too much in a foliar spray solution... it will burn leaves if you use too much. What I use is about 12 drops of limonene in 1 gal of water, with addition of 12 drops soap.
I had to do a google search on the orange oil, essential oils and limonene. A lot has to do with the amounts used but there is no recommendation of a safe for humans level of essential oils. Basically it seems that the essential oil is a concentrated level of a food safe orange oil such as from freshly squeeze orange peels or the very mild stuff sold in the spice aisle in the supermarket. Several different levels of orange mixtures being lumped together.My go to for bugs during flowering is a solution of limonene and Bronner's peppermint soap.

Those comments were enough to get me looking up what was what. That you do not want to use limonene that is in a plastic bottle but only what is sold in a glass container is enough to make me want to avoid using it.Beware of limonene sold in plastic... it can wind up containing plastic chemicals.

Also researched and read what that was. That is a powerful insecticide and I was surprised that a Certified Pesticide Applicators license was not needed to purchase it and use it.Please DO NOT use Avid, it is toxic to humans, aquatic life, and bees as well as being carcinogenic,. It is not labeled or intended for use on edible plants. (I wouldn’t want to smoke it either). It is used on ornamental plants only.

Warnings might not be on the US product but the warnings mentioned in what I was reading were enough. Even had to dig down further to find the differences between essential oils and food grade and the oil used for flavorings in the kitchen whether orange, lemon or just about anything else.i notice the poison warnings don't show up on the US product. they are emblazoned all over the bottles here. also we don't get it in glass bottles, only plastic.
I used to have an applicators license and I had to do the same thing, I’d never heard of Avid, but the more I read, the scarier it got, hell on mites, but nothing you’d want to handle or spray on your plants.Also researched and read what that was.
Hey guys. Limonene is certainly safe... it's one of the primary terpenes found in cannabis buds... let that sink in!
What I'm talking about is pure food grade limonene, which is made from orange peels. I'm not talking about industrial cleaners. What I recommend for foliar spray is limonene sold in a glass bottle, not plastic, because it's a solvent and will pull chemicals out of the plastic – potentially nasty ones.
The least expensive form of food grade limonene that I've found is orange essential oil from NOW FOODS.
Also keep in mind that you only want to use a very small amount... like 12 drops in 1 gallon, with liquid soap as an emulsifier (I use Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap). Otherwise it will burn leaves.
Yes but it is the amounts used when spraying for mites or insects.. The Limonene is found in the buds but the concentrations are low enough that those are safe for people and mites. Otherwise, if the levels were higher then there would be no mites on the plant.Hey guys. Limonene is certainly safe... it's one of the primary terpenes found in cannabis buds... let that sink in!
When I first started my war with the Spider Mites I tried the essential oils found in specialty and/or organic foods types of stores. Would buy those small bottles of various "flavors" based on the recipes found on the 'net. The mites shook the stuff off and kept doing what ever they were happy doing.my bet is you are referring to the tiny essential oil bottles, which is a different product. it is not a solvent, it is kind of a flavoring, usually used more for aroma than anything. i'm not sure it is an effective miticide, i kinda think we might have had commercial products with it as an ingredient if it was.

And, those essential oils still had to be diluted down before use in flavoring cookies, cakes and whatever we wanted to cook up in the kitchen. Found it easier and better tasting to stick with the small bottles of flavorings which were the watered down oils.
Dang, I had not thought of doing that.i use essential oils in the small bottles for my topicals.

I have started experimenting with the skin-safe oils my wife has for her soap making.
