I've been reading online. You're right from what I can gather. I'm really surprised there's not more information on the proper way to mix it. Maybe it would explain my purple stems!

Here you go brother, this was downloaded direct from the GH website and then I printed it out before I switched the current grow to SIP's.....

Week 6
Now that we're back to our regular scheduled program, it's Day 42 in the tent. I think Jillybean has decided to call it quits and finish early. I hope that isn't the case as I'd like for her to have a little more "umph" to her, but she does look frosty. Grease Monkey is still putting on the weight and looks like a whole new round of calyx's exploded. Head Trip, starting to think she might be sativa dominant as she's taking her sweet time doing everything, but looking good while doing it. Unfortunately I've managed to light bleach the shit out of them all again, oh well, limited head space.

Week 7
The past week has been a challenging week. Due to a horrible error on my part, I ended up with spider mites infecting my tent. I've never had spider mites, never seen spider mites, and no idea what to do about them. I had put a thai basil plant in my tent that was purchased from a nursery without quarantining it first. Huge mistake. While I did take the time to transplant the basil and inspect it thoroughly, apparently it wasn't enough. After 2 weeks the basil was looking weird, spotty leaves and a few days later, covered in webs. After removing the basil, I immediately started to inspect the girls and low and behold, spider mite egg city. A few fan leaves got sacrificed, but I think I got most of them. After a few hours on the google, and a large purchase of No-Pest strips, I think I successfully eradicated them. Daily check-ups now are mandatory as we enter the home stretch.

Honestly the NPS was the only thing that knocked them out for me and kept them out.. After 2-4 weeks of spraying every other day and thinking I had things under control only for them to come back a couple days after stopped spraying, I got a few strips.. I used them 3 days when lights turned off and I cut exhaust.. I then waited a 3-4 days without then put them in another few days the same way and haven't seen a mite since..
It is some bad shit but if you can handle wasp spray responsibly you shouldn't have a problem with them. I do hold my breath as much as I can when I had to handle them and held them carefully.
NPS are a tool that people should read up on and know how to use properly, but if done so, are invaluable in the fight against spider mites.
Good Luck!

Oh yeah I'm familiar with Dichlorvos (main ingredient in NPS). I've used it in the past in reptile rooms to keep mites away (when I bred and raised Green Tree Pythons), and used it in the past to keep fungus-nats away. As long as the room is ventilated, you don't touch the impregnated strip (there's a plastic shield around it), and you don't use multiple strips in a contained area; you're fine.
Now I used 2 strips in a non-ventilated area for a 12 hour time period (then removed a strip) and used a respirator (just incase) when re-entering that room (the room wasn't totally enclosed so I don't think I was in any harm to begin with, but safety first), before turning back on all the ventilation. I did a couple hours of research on the best approach to treat the mites and the strips seemed like the best solution for my scenario (1-2 pest strips for 2-3 days with little to no ventilation). Since I'm so far into the flowering time and have a small enclosed space; spraying neem oil, bombing, or using a sulfur burner, are not really ideal treatments.
Dichlorvos also breaks down pretty rapidly, so I'm not too worried about residual residue or the plants being poisoned and causing phytotoxicity. These strips are toxic if you're an idiot and handle the strips with out their protection and start deliberately huffing the fumes straight out of the bag, but then there are warning labels on just about everything.

so you guys are spraying your plants with this stuff in the flowering cycle or are you just placing a product in the grow room.

I've read that Jillybean flowers in 56 days (as reliable as such claims can be...). Perhaps its known for finishing early? Have you run them before and had them take longer?
The relevance to me is that I was looking for sativa-dominant hybrids with short flower times for my outdoor, and picked up a Jillybean because it seems to fit the description. So I hope she finishes fast.

I haven't ran her before, and might be the first I run a second time to get the pheno I want. I thought she finished early due to her small size and stature. Turns out she isn't quite finished as she just started to bulk out some more. Guessing she will finish with the Grease Monkey in about two weeks.I've read that Jillybean flowers in 56 days (as reliable as such claims can be...). Perhaps its known for finishing early?

Week 8 - No more spider mites. Looks like a sacrificial defoliation and NPS did the trick. We're in the home stretch, or at least for 2 of the 3 girls. Grease Monkey and Jillybean should be ready to come down next week, I'll start start giving them some Ful-Power before a straight flush once I see more amber development. Head Trip is still a bit behind, she might go another 2-3 weeks as most of her trich's are clear.
