Spider Mites Discovered? Here's How a Weed Growing App Helped Me Act Fast
Today I spotted something dreaded on one of my cannabis plants — a fine web stretching across a couple of colas. Classic sign of spider mites. Thankfully, I’ve been logging everything in my cannabis grow journal using the PLnTrk weed growing app, so I could mention my plant by ID and instantly ask my AI assistant for help — with all of the plant’s logged data included.
Here’s a link to the full plant profile, including photos and grow logs:
🚨 Question I Logged in My Grow Journal:
“Today I found some spider mite webs on a few colas. They snuck up on me fast. What should I do? I added water with a light mix of Mammoth Canncontrol. This is for plant @398.”
✅ Response from AI (with Grow Data):
Spider mites are a serious threat to cannabis plants. These tiny pests suck out cell contents, causing tiny pale spots and discoloration. Here's how to respond quickly — and how a cannabis grow journal helps you stay ahead:
Step 1: Isolate the Affected Plant
Move the infested plant away from your other grow environments. If you're using a weed growing app like PLnTrk, log the grow room or tent location to track exposure risk.
Step 2: Prune & Dispose of Infested Areas
Remove leaves and buds that are overrun. Dispose of them far from your grow zone. Record this pruning event in your cannabis grow journal to track the plant’s response.
Step 3: Apply a Natural Treatment
You started with Mammoth CannControl — good call. Keep applying it every 3–5 days, focusing on the undersides of leaves. Be sure to log each application in your weed growing app so you can stay consistent and avoid over-treatment.
Step 4: Adjust Your Environment
Spider mites love hot, dry conditions. Raise humidity slightly and lower temps to make your grow room less hospitable. Log every environment change in PLNTRK and monitor for improvement.
Step 5: Repeat Treatments and Monitor Closely
These pests reproduce fast. Continue spraying on schedule, watch for fresh damage, and update your cannabis grow journal daily. Reviewing your log entries helps you spot reinfestations early.
🧠 Why Logging Matters in Weed Growing
Without a weed growing journal, it’s easy to forget when you sprayed last, what worked, or when the infestation began. PLNTRK gives you the full picture — symptoms, treatments, environmental conditions — all tied to each plant ID.
