Apparently if you spray the room after each grow, either you bring the mites inside ( do you buy clones? ) Or they're in the soil, which i doubt but im not sure if they can live there, or most probably that stuff just doesn't work.

Mighty Wash is the only thing that should be used for spider mites in my opinion. It is basically water, can be used day of harvest, works better than any nasty chemical I've ever used, and mites cannot become "immune" to it. I spotted a few mites on my scrog, soaked my plants with this stuff once and haven't seen another mite, or sign if mites since and I look every day.

The downside is, it's kind of expensive and you have to make sure to soak the plant as it only works on contact which means you do have to use quite alot of it.

I paid $18 for a quart at my local shop and used about half of it on 5x3 scrog canopy, walls, and pots. It can be had a little cheaper online I'm sure.

You make the clones, or do you get them from somebody else? Stop getting them from somebody else.
Use the things suggested by others, just make sure they aren't toxic or smthn that you don't want to smoke and regularly wipe the leaves ( and under them too.

When you get clones from an outside source ESP the CO-OP you need to spray them down and quarantine them for a week to 10 days to make sure your not bring pest into your garden. also Im not a big fan of RW i use plugs ... rapid rooter.

ladybugs ftw feed farm store they are cheep and fun to watch from what i hear. I have yet to have any problems with mites "knocking wood " . When not if i have my first encounter I'm going to use the ladybugs first screw chemicals . I've also heard about another product that has like three carnivorous bugs that are real killers that will wipe out any mite or aphid problem fast .

I've said it a hundred time....the best stuff out there is by sierra natural science...its called sns 209, or the sns217....everyone that uses it, will never use anything else....mighty wash, azamax...blah blah..don't hold a candle to the sns line! Look it up!!!!!

neem oil will make the mites retarded it will affect their ability to reproduce,eat,move,ext then they just die off it works on all kinds of bugs and insects...it a controlled test of
a few bugs all of them starved to death rather than eat the neem lief when presented with the neem leaf and their choice leef sprayed with neem oil they wouldn't eat either and died off

Personally Ive used Eagle 20 with good results.....but its good to use a couple different spray o mites do build up a tolerence.
