Spider Mite Damage?

[KP419]

How much damage can spider mites really do? I had them on previous harvest but didnt notice a big difference that was the first time I have ever had them before and I have them again. I've heard that they eat your buds but to what extent?

They can destroy your entire crop if left unchecked. The soy bean fields by me have been over run by spider mites this year... the untreated fields are 90% dead... the treated fields look perfect. They are no joke man.

...they don't "eat yer buds".. but they do suck all of the juices, moisture, out, causing 'extensive' damage, or killing them.
A'M' is right.. "they're NO joke". They're a BORG..a plague. IMO the only thing worse and tougher to deal with is PM (powdery mildew)

KILL'EM KILL'EM KILL'EM!!!

They can and will build condos on your plants, and spin webs which strangle your plants to death. They can go from no webs to wrapped-like-moss in less than 1-2 days once they reach critical mass.

Like Hick says: KILL EM DEADER THAN NIXON!

messing around with the Borg is futile -- eradication is the only way to deal with them. It is truly difficult in late bloom -- I know.

good luck, friend
