Mites suck. You like that? That's a two for one. No, really, they do. They suck in your meat.

0:06.3

They do. They suck the life right out of your plants, man. Uh, yeah, all sorts of mites, right?

0:12.8

We had one-eyed cat, had got russet mites, hemp mites, hemp russet mites, broad mites, a few different name for those little bastards.

0:40.5

And also, we can touch on spider mines. This isn't an end-all fix-it show, but application methods, what things are you spraying? Are they nasty? What can you use? What should you stay way the hell away from? Of course, Half-Life. Yeah, Half-life, man. We've got infographics for that. But man, there's getting bugs is something pretty common when you, when you start growing cannabis. We all make the

0:45.3

mistakes of not enough circulation, temperature and humidity getting out of control, too high or too

0:51.3

low. All those make it right for pathogens. Bugs love to attack weak plants.

0:57.0

That's what I was going to agree with. I don't know if I can fully say it's pretty common.

1:03.0

I have had spider mites. I have had hemp russets. I have not in my own grow.

1:09.0

I'm going to grow too bad. I was consulting on it. Rude aphid. So definitely

1:13.8

over 20 years. But nothing commonplace. After I learned how to grow really well, and we had a panel

1:19.1

show, I believe it was with Chris Trump and, uh, was it a Matt, Matt somebody. Matt, Matt,

1:25.4

Powers. Matt Powers. They were talking about that, too, man. Healthy plants. Never underestimate having a healthy-ass plant. The bugs don't like it. So I can see my newer growers sometimes at times. You might have more issues if you're not growing healthy plants. But today, yeah, let's get into it, man. How shall we start? I tell you what, man. First off, shout out, man. Do we offer our condolences we do to one-eye cat cannabis? Because I texted a couple days ago, I have a group text. Man, I have russet mites. I have hemp russet mites. And those are the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest. Do we have any

2:03.5

pictures of those at all, Granbo? Yeah, let's see if we can't find out. Yeah, look how tiny those

2:08.3

things are, man, just little squiggles. I don't even know if you can see him. Can you see him with

You got tremors in the garden, dude. Yeah. I mean, if you look down, it's every bit as weird as if you look up. That's true. Anything you can imagine. Anyway, man, so I remember back in my day, we just used to get spider mites, all right? Little two-spotted spider mites, man. I don't know what's up with this new stuff. Grandma, that's great. Can you show that? I don't know. Are we showing that? No, they went and found a spider mite. Yeah, thank you. That's a spider mite right there.
