i know how u feel
ive been fighting spidermites for a months.
ive tried several diff sprays and they only work for awhile and then they come back
i sprayed with a special organic oil this week.....gonna give it another spray this weekend and see where i am.......its very hard when my plants are so bushy and they are inclosed........good luck with the mildew...i had it on my tomato plants one year and was a bitch to get rid of.......but indoors is always much harder.......

Hi FDD, im sure you have seen it before but i keep reading about aspirin and water for treating mildew. Maybe try it on one of your affected plants, the dose that keeps popping up is 3 aspirin to 4 gallons of water sprayed on. Hate to see you lose any of those lovely plants.

dagobaker spidermite are a real pain as your finding out, have you tried predators?

Good luck.

will you be able to use the spray throughout flowering? is it organic?

yes it's organic but i don't think i will be needing to spray it into flowering. once i kill what i have going on i think i will be ok. i've let the soil dry out on top and i have nice airflow now. i just got jammed up for a second. :blsmoke:

wrap the pots in several plastic trash bags. tape it up good so the soil doesn't fall out. you may even pack some newspaper on top of the soil to help hold it in. once you have the pot wrapped and secure you can either box them in big boxes and lay them down or wrap them in more bags or a tarp and lay them down. i'm not sure how far you are going but this should be good for an hour or two. if they are cut off from fresh air for too long it could mess with them.

this is just an idea off the top of my head. :mrgreen:

40 miles? Thats intriguing...... I will consider that..... I would definitely do it if it was just across town, and I could cover the distance in one day.... but 40 miles, I don't know... thats a long walk.... I started a thread about it the in the "General section".
