Spider Mites

Identification: Tiny mites causing white specks on leaves and webs.

Symptoms: Yellowing leaves, webbing between leaves and stems.

Control:

• Neem Oil: Regular applications to disrupt their life cycle.

• Predatory Mites: Introduce Phytoseiulus persimilis or Neoseiulus californicus to prey on spider mites.

• Diatomaceous Earth (DE): Dust leaves and soil to create a hostile environment for mites.

• Companion Plants: Plant garlic or onion around cannabis to deter mites.

• Mycoinsecticides: Use Metarhizium anisopliae to naturally control mite populations.
