Spider Mites!! I was infested!! Not any more!! Check this out.

[RIKNSTEIN]

Ok so I was posting what looked like a P-K-Mn def all mixed together, and I was double strength nutes at this point! I was thinking WTF!! And someone even asked me do I have bugs??? I said "ain't no bugs on my mugs" (puppy commercial) cuz I had just not but 3 months ago treated my house and foundation with commercial pesticides. I thought NO WAY!! What a moron I was, I had a bad infestation, I mean it looked like china town in June (no offense I AM NOT RACIST) but these things were swarming, anyway long story short, I very calmly pulled half my hair out before I started thinking (yes this helps if you have ADHD) and I came here and looked under plant probs and then under bugs, and this is what I found, https://www.rollitup.org/bugs/475307-how-kill-spider-mites-100-a.html and it killed the whole lot of them (so far) I have to keep using it every few days or so for a few weeks, but it's better than the alternative, cuz my very first is in flower and yes I sprayed in there too, but they were dropping on the white paper I had under in hopes to catch anything alive, there were a few crawlin but not many, and man there were so effn many. I'm gona have night mares for sure...here's the one I'm most worried about...

Cinnamon oil is a guaranteed kill as well, assuming it's not mentioned in that thread and it's also completely natural

Any vitamin shop really.. maybe 20 bucks for 8oz tops - that said, a little goes a long way with a spray bottle

I remember your reply to me now "no bugs in my mugs", forgot about that commercial.

Just want to let others know you can also use
SM-90 mixed with water (1 part SM-90 to 5 parts water) organic and terminates spider mites on contact and it also smells good too.

Hope your grow produces much fruit my friend, much fruit.

We're not playing with powders.. the cinnamon oil comes in a pre-made oil, spray the foliage lightly just as it is

1/4oz maybe total (for 5 plants).. and I explained a ton of it in the mail you'd sent re: preventative maintenance, how/whys of the method to the madness, etc.. and if you want to get a new fun project to throw in the tent... grow cinnamon and make your own, and have fresh cinnamon for toast and other shit too

I understand, if you have questions or issues of any sort - mail me anytime if you don't want to toss it into a thread. Never too busy for a bro, and will do my best to help I have a multitude of knowledge, you just need to make sure you ask questions or explain it as you have been so my mind has nothing to guess at. If you leave out 1/2 the facts, I will then start making a list of questions then bombard you with them and that'd slow the process down. hahahaha

For future prevention I would recommend u pick up some sns 209 u water with it ur plants uptake Rosemary extract and if any bug bites it it hates the taste and moves on the have sns 217 which is a contact killer and it's all organic sierra natural science is the company name

The cinnamon oil is what I recommended as it's completely natural, and it's caustic and toxic both - will eat them alive and suffocate simultaneously. I can say that the SNS works awesomely too, especially the foliar spray which depending on the area of the world you're in.. can be a bit more difficult to obtain than cinnamon oil.

I do apologize I have a big tendency to forget thts its not a hydro store on every. Corner LOL with my first mite problem I used garlic,vegetables oil,dish detergent
