And right after I took those night pictures I noticed webs coming from up to down left to right like a regular spider I vacuumed up the webs this morning I started the buds I found a few spider mites I wipe them up with a damp cloth I’m thinking I should just pull it right now any advice. I also haven’t watered it in 2 days I was making my way out the door should I just pull it out right now

I can’t really tell if trichomes are ready from your pics. I personally would try to treat for the mite issue and let her go full term.
Once you get a heavy infestation it gets a little harder.
I have learned on here to get more aggressive with preventative maintenance for bugs. Especially indoors.
I’ve struggled with mites and I think :thinking: I’m getting a hand on it now
Just my rookie 2 cents
Good luck

Mites are awful. You can use Captain Jack’s Deadbug up until the day of harvest. Also, you can alternate that with a 50% peroxide (3%)/50% distilled water spray. Just do a bud wash at harvest, it will also wash out some mites. I would agree with @dragsterdad to treat the issue, then let the lady finish. @Myfriendis410 can probably offer some solid advice as well.

Fair enough. After my recent tent fiasco, I’ve been combing through the forum to find any place where I could offer advice, within my capacity of course. Lol.

If you search this forum you will find a boatload of info and remedies to go to war with them.
I use the peroxide mixture which my mites laughed at :pensive:. Capt Jacks. Worked
Mite Massacre works. Tried Safer soap spray.
I’ve found you gotta hit em hard and keep hitting em often
And they may go away for a week lol

Yeah, those little buggers grow a resistance to almost everything. They would probably survive a nuclear holocaust, along with cockroaches and carp. The peroxide and water just seems to piss them off, but it does have a decent affect when used in conjunction with Safer, or Captain Jack’s. Ladybugs help a mild infestation. I’ve used those to mitigate damage, and while the mites are never eradicated, they are certainly put in check.

Buy the Captain Jack’s concentrate, and just mix your own spray bottle. Infinitely more cost effective.
