This morning I found on two of my clones one 5-6 inch thin spider web/line going from the bottom of my cloner to the top of 2 of my clones. There is no other spider web in the area and I was not able to find any insects on the plants (they are very small). I believe this is just a spider in the area (I have many in the area), but I'm also curious if spider mites start out this way or if their web is usually shorter. I've moved since my last real grow and this new area is really kicking my ass with the various problems. I miss my basement! | ||

| Just a curious spider  He's probably off eating any pests you've got  Usually you'll notice leaf damage (wierd tiny brown spots) before you start seeing webs with spider mites...The webs are condensed small web like structures knit closely around the leaves & buds.  AB | ||

| The webbing shows up after the population of spider mites is very well established. The damage they do to leaves shows up well before any webbing can be produced. Check for spider mites using a white sheet of paper. Hold it below the canopy and shake the branches above the paper. Then inspect the paper for any specks that move. | ||
