Spider mites are perhaps the most damaging invaders to hit your marijuana plants. Considered arachnids rather than insects, spider mites have eight legs and no antennae. They are minutely and extremely hard to see with the naked eye. Spider mites typically make their homes on the underside of leaves and will spin a silky web as a means of protecting their colony and eggs from predators.

If you see fine white connections between leaves, chances are you have spider mites.

Close up of Spider Mites

Spider mites have little ‘teeth’ with which they can puncture a single plant cell and extract chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis in all plant life. Eggs hatch within three days with the spider mite becoming sexually mature in a mere five days. This means they can reproduce at a rapid rate, thus causing major damage to your crop.

Because they reproduce rapidly, spider mites have the potential of causing major damage to your marijuana plants. A mature female can produce literally millions of offspring within a month’s time. Astonishing that something so small can be so detrimental and in such massive numbers!

Uncontrolled spider mite infestation can cause major crop damage and/or failure. By following the planting practices mentioned below, you can deter the infestation of spider mites.

You may see the sudden appearance of ladybugs if spider mites are present and can save yourself the trouble of purchasing them. Mother Nature works that way!

Already have Spider Mites?
