Harvesting with Mites...?

Hi Gang,

Got a problem here. One of my new strains seems particularly susceptible to spider mites. I harvested plant, as it was about perfect, but I just looked under scope and can still see live mites.

Don't want to spray anything on curing buds...so does the freezer work? Or a few seconds of microwave?

Thanks....

:cheers2:

 

Sounds treacherous, Using a good veggie insecticide (that states on the label that veggies may be eaten the next day after treatment) ya coulda done somthin' a few days before harvest as I have in the past. Now.....you could dry in a dehydrater (I see them in thrift 'used' shops for about $10 often) then get it into glass jars (curing stage) where the bugs will sufficate, but there will be carcases, should really take care of bugs before harvest, Patience is the word.>)

I threw out 15 vegging plants infested with spider mites 'cause I couldn't take time to treat them when we got evicted by our son in law, bummer, coulda sold 'em to dispensary.....OWELL life happens while yer makin other plans!>|

do not spray anything on the buds you dont want to smoke. if the mites are bothering you seeing as there realy not doing no more damage put the buds in the freezer for a half hour problem solved

 

Snap crackle and pop as ya inhale burning spider might fumes. Gerlic infused water works the little so and so's run away from it.
