do you ever go into your garadge and see dust with webs on the them or espically saw dust with what looks like webing ?? that is spidermites ..... My garadge is filled with spidermites i cant see them but if i see webing on sawdust i know that means its spider mites..normal spiders dont web onto sawdust and what not.......If you took them into your garadge its very possible thats where you got them from......My mom use to get them becasue her grow room was next to my dads woodshop.....she put a filter on the intake and now we have no problems with them.......

next time you get them try using a product called "floramite" its like dropping an atomic bomb on them......i wouldnt use it if your in flower but id use it if your in veg or just into flower.......

This far into flowering i realy would not worrie so much,if it as earlyer in the cycle then i would panic alot more.Smokeing spidermites is far better than smokeing mould so dry it and smoke it,but if you are planning nother grow make sure that you bomb the place or the same will happen again.There is no need to buy all the expensive sprays on the market because to be honest none of them work,the only thing to do is close the grow area down for a week or two and bleach every day.I buy the cheap bleach and use it neat apply with a mop and soak the area with the stuff i have found this to work the best.............................tyke...............................................................

I hear of spider mites and God blessed my 1st grows but i was wondering if just a burst of ice cold water,cold air, and a leaf
shield ( aquashield,purple maxx,rhino skin? and im sure a bunch of nutrient companies make nutes directed at the foilage that

promote over all plant strength and stress reduction. I see products like oils and what not I almost wonder if aloe vera or
castor oil would be good for plants. CASTOR OIL IS THE ONLY OIL THAT CAN PENETRATE INTO CELLS, especially dead cells and reviving natural luster >

GOOGLE IT if im wrong correct me so I can once again know everything lol

But at the same time i have never used any oil on my plants but the thought of oil as a wetting agent seems like it would be effective regardless of the reasons why you would want to use it i dont know.

I did have little black flies once and read on here
that you could let soil dry, water with cold water and put chopped potatoes on top of soil and around buckets.

so I just made a bunch of potatoes and poked holes in them and hung them with string above my plants for a few days with a half potatoe in the buckets. and it worked. or i got lucky

for anyone who googles spider mites and ends up reading this post in the future. 'pro controll plus" bug bombs work great. will not hurt you plants and will kill the mites
