I find spider mites the easiest out of all of them. I buy this Indian imported Neem oil and make my own mix. It works as a fungistat also and can even be used on skin conditions and fungi toenails. It will kill adults on contact.

It's very important to think about the insects life cycle which is why it's essential to spray twice in a week to catch the hatching eggs.

Out here I've got a bug battle on my hands. Thrips are my worst and root aphids in hydro are a piece of piss. All sweet right now but its practically summer.

At worst I would use pyrethrum but on other insects. It is very toxic though.

I'll try the Neem oil if this homemade remedy doesn't work. It's not a big infestation, so not too worried. Pests are part of growing outside anyways...

That is true and my worst outdoor pests are caterpillars. I use BT spray but it's the way you use it, must be sprayed near the top bud to drip down the stalk. It's the damage they make by the dead buds that rot which is really the problem.

For your plants, just prune underneath and keep it clean. Spider mites start at the bottom and work upwards. So if you ever see them on top buds, that's a serious in the bin infestation.

Neem can also be used as a soil drench. Always mix a drop of washing up liquid because oil and water don't mix! Good luck with the home remedy too.

I ain't concerned tbh this is my first grow so it's all about trail n error. My indoor this winter will be when I will care as I'm going to need to pump in a good few grand to get all the equipment and insulate the stable block, run electrics etc this outdoor has set me back less then 100, so meh. If I score an oz a plant I'm happy. 9oz will keep me the winter. I've not smoked at all in over a year so I'm gonna be a proper lightweight :D

Seriously

You aint killing spider mites with neem
You use it in veg as a preventative

A stable blocks better than nothing merlot,
Rather av a barn, but spend the the time and
Get the enviro dialed in, get a veg area and learn
How to build your plants,

This time next year you'll be doing warehouse's

As I say m8, relax should prob sort u out, send him a PM. If he's already give his out to a few then it's more beneficial for him, all those 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 btc will add up
