About 3 times a week. I'll hit them with the EcoSmart one day. A day or 2 later I'll use plain water to wash it off. Then another day or 2 later I'll use neem, then back to water again. I just keep a rotation like that going.

and wait 3 days, but I don't have mites. If you have mites, you don't have the luxury of being lazy

I never had the little bastards so never paid much attention to them, but my friend's crop just got mites for the second year in a row...so I best learn how to deal with them just in caseAbout 3 times a week.

yeah, no worries, we both start from seed
another question: how soon do you start the spray regiment...and when do you stop? (from a preventative perspective)

I use simple rules, I start seeds and clones in jiffy pellets ($3 for 36 pellets) then I move them to solo cups. I won't start spraying till I see roots coming out of the bottom of the cups. I stop at around week 1 or 2 of flowering, depending on the strain and how early it puts out flowers.

So dang true...I even knew this fact,yet I let the prestine GH get over run this round...bang head against wall again.
you need to start the attack before you ever see a single one, even if you haven't seen a sign of them for years. just keep killing them anyway as if they were there.
Before flower I use sns217(shit cost 55.00 to make 2 qts of spray)but when you lupe the spider and take a look at their dead burnt body's it seems worth the expense.

I use a product called Nuke em' all the ingredients can be found in a loaf of bread... works wonders.. Neem Oil plugs your leafs pores so they cant breath ... http://flyingskull.net/proddetail.php?prod=Nuke-em ( OMRI LISTED) I did an experiment sprayed an ANT and it stopped dead in its tracks..... I was amazed !! its also non toxic you can even spray your buds if needed
