Mites

You know you DON'T have to poison your plants with pesticide sprays and chemicals for spider mites... especially during flowering!

Spider mites attack plants that are basically sick. It's an imbalance of something (too much or too little) in your growing environment. I don't care if you do a soil or nutrient test everyday (which you should), if THE NUTRIENTS ARE NOT ALL AVAILABLE TO YOUR PLANT, then what's the use of them being there anyway. "Nutrient Utilization" or uptake is a very important part of a healthy plant. Environment or climate control is also very important.

There are many ways to be MITE FREE! What has worked to become spider mite free: A combo of calcium plus soil solution and liquid sea weed added to your current feeding cycle. Apply every 7 to 10 days. Do this even after the health problems are solved because the calcium and Sea Weed is what is needed for your plant's "Nutrient Utilization" (uptake).(if done correct there would not be any problems to begin with). Trial and error :-) Read on...

Here are some other growers "natural" ways that are very effective if you are growing with conventional nutrients and need some quick remedies:

There is a product called azamax on the market.
It gets rid of mites in just a few applications.
It is omri listed. (organic)

Lady bugs work very well. I have never had to use them but FACT they will eat the mites and their eggs. 2-3 per plant is all that is needed.

If I'm not mistaken... there is also an oil (zeem I think) that will aid in the suffocation of mites and their egg cycles.

Mold

Climate, Climate, Climate! It's what it's all about. With all the different areas and spaces that cannabis is grown or tried to be grown, it's tough to maintain the perfect climate. We all try like crazy though don't we!

Mold or Mildew (powdery) obviously comes from Moisture...period! If you have it, you need to check to make sure your not over watering. You also need to check the humidity levels. During VEG. stage, your levels should not exceed 80% maximum...but 60-70% is best. During the FLOWERING stage (the fun part) it is best to keep the humidity below 50%...35%-45% is fine.

Plant Shield: Plant Shield contains the organism Trichoderma harzianum strain T-22. This organism attacks fungi and mildews. It is used as a spray or dip. The organism seeks its food and forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, which it also protects. Some good stuff here!

Potassium Bicarbonate: Potassium bicarbonate collapses and desiccates the mildew hyphae. This is a very safe and effective contact fungicide. Mildew will not develop resistance to it. The potassium in the formula is absorbed by the plant. Two brands are Kaligreen (registered in California) and Armicarb100.

Cinnamite: Cinnamite is an extract of cinnamon used as a miticide which is also effective as a fungicide. It is very easy to use, is effective and has a pleasant cinnamon odor. Studies show it is not harmful to Cannabis Plants.

Sulfur: Elememtal sulfur interferes with mildew cellular respiration. It has been used as a fungicide for more than 100 years. There are small packages available in the baking sections of supermarkets.

These new remedies make it much easier to deal with mold and powdery mildew issues. They are all non-toxic and eliminate the problem fairly easily.
