Hey i was wondering if Franks still active on these boards...he sent me some nice beans last year including IncaSpirit x Mr. Nice and SFS...

Ive got a single IS x MN outdoors at the mo just hit flowering a week or so ago but im having problems with spidermites and sprays dont seem to work. I've tried Neem Oil but they seem to come back, and i dont want to soak the buds in spray once they develop more incase they start to mould. Any ideas on how to rid spidermites before they destroy my buds?! Are there any "outdoor insect repellents" that can be activated without spraying?

P.S. Frank if you're still around i'll put up a few pics of the finished product when it's done in 7-8 weeks time ;)

a safe way to rid them using a spray bottle is fill it up with regular water and add a couple drops of dish soap. spray liberally on both sides of the leaves paying particular attention to the undersides, where they hide during daylight hours. repeat every 3 days for 2 weeks. the soap film will coat their bodies and smother them but will not affect the eggs so apply it every 3 days. it's best to not spray during the heat of the day but rather as close to sunset as possible...
another safe method to control them is use your tube-type vacumn cleaner (or one with a hose attachement). hold a couple fingers over the nozzle to act like a screen so your leaves don't get sucked up and gently move nozzle around sucking up the critters and all the webbing. this will not affect the eggs and also must be done every 3 days to keep up with their hatching cycle. after a couple applications of either method you should see results...but don't stop there or they will come back. use a different spot next planting as far away as possible from your current grow. also thoroughly wash your clothes after being around contaminated plants or you'll act as their transport to new feeding grounds...

aren't those two parent strains sativa dom's? i believe so and i'd expect them to take at least 10 weeks. but i watch the trich's and i never rely on the hairs as hairs can turn early...when 10% or so of the trich's have turned from milky white to an amber shade i pick. but nothing beats the taste trial using those lower buds...

The leaves have that broader look to them...which is Indica?

http://hemcy.com/open.html - incaspirit

http://www.sensiseeds.com/mrnicegxhashplant/1p332.html - mr. nice

D'ya reckon they look Indica dom? flowering time says around 60 days for both which sounds right for an Ind...

How powerful does the magnifyer need to be to see the trichs clear enough...as i only have a 3x lense...

it really doesn't matter and it's nearly impossible to tell them apart nowadays.

10x is what i use and can be had for cheap thru ebay...not sure if 3x is large enough for proper viewing.

good deal...and you can always take a lower bud and give it the taste test. they dry fairly fast naturally (a day or two) and will give you the best idea of where they're at. and i always like the 'rule'...when ya think they're done, wait a week.

Yea I was going to wait another 1-2 weeks until I saw some bud rot just starting in the middle of one of the bigger buds so I pulled it. only a few grams out of the whole plant had rotted...so luckily i caught it early
