Nonono get like 3 no pest strips. Shut them in ur grow area for like 2 weeks with fan blowing on them. Then after store in zip lock and open zip lock once every three days. . .replace the pest strips every 4 or 5 months....problems solved. For ever and always. Lol. Well it works for me like that. That's all I can say.

Ive triex everything (including the pepper spray) over the years. Azamax is the best stuff ive used so far. Mighty wash is good if you are flowering but azamax really kicks ass.

I agree also. The only surefire way to get rid of spidermites is to take all plants out of your grow room and clean it really well. You can also wait awhile before putting any other plants in that room so if there are any spidermites left behind they wont find a new home in your new plants.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask

After each grow I
bug bomb the room every three days
3Times
Before I bring the next round in.
I lose a week or so but it is worth it
to me.

Nothing sucks worse than an ongoing
infestation.
Kill them all....




In nature plants don't live in plastic buckets but at my house they do or they get the f**k out!

If you're in veg you can get rid of just about any pest. The only pest I have ran into that required a take down, sterilization, and new genetics were root aphids and that was because they caused duds.

If the mites are in flower you're fucked. Cut your losses and take the flower room down and clean. In veg hit them with Avid - Forbid - Avid in rotation, 5 days apart. Organic is nice and touchy feely and all, but if you want to get rid of the mites completely, you need pesticides that are made to do the job. You will NEVER eradicate them in flower.

Also, you NEED to figure out how they got in and remove that vector. Otherwise they will just find their way in again.

You shouldn't have to do an ongoing pest control/battle with them. If you have ongoing issues, then you never got rid of them in the first place or you never found out how they are coming in and removed that vector.

Thats always a good idea. Because your right, a spidermite infestation is the worse. It ruins the plant especially if its flowering

Forbid is your best bet. 1 or 2 application and there gone for good! It also is the only systemic spray that is purged within 30 days from you plant. It is the bees knees! It also has a bleaching effect. So the top layer of foliage only has to be hit.

You also need to setup a Integrated Pest Control program(IPM). After there gone or if you start over you need to regularly treat them with a good neem oil. Good neem is hard to find and way overprice at your hydro store. Look online.
