Spider mites actually prefer it dry.

My plan is the fogger, then I'll spray with captain jacks as well as soil drench with it. Then come back and do the same foliar spray 2 to 3 day later. 2 to days later spray with alcohol/water mix. Hopefully that nukes them then I can flip in a week or 2.

2 tsp citric acid per quart will kill the adults. You have the right idea with using multiple things. Just do it ever few days. Once you kill off the majority with sprays and think they're gone adding the predator mites isn't a bad idea. But don't add the predators and then spray or fog or you'll kill off your buddies.

What are your thoughts on these foggers. Active ingredients are stronger than Dokter Doom. I can get these right now. I don't want to wait.

I've never used a fogger, but if I was going to I'd probably use the Doktor Doom. At least that one says it's fine for food crops. Alternating between citric acid spray and iso spray would give you a head start and wash off some of the bugs and shit. That's probably what I'd do until you get the fogger.

What I see in the tent. I only found that bug on one leaf. I think I'm going to an alcohol and water spray right now at a 70/30 water to alcohol. The lights were off today after the neem spray from 630 to 130

I'm actually giving the plants bone meal today. I sprayed yesterday with neem twice. Today I sprayed with an alcohol/water at a 30/70 ratio twice. Tomorrow I'll do captain jacks. Hopefully my LCPT arrives Monday. I'll do a soil drench with captain jacks as well. Sunday back to neem, Monday LCPT, Tuesday ISO mix.
I'm not seeing any active activity. I know the life cycle so I need to get the larvae and keep hitting it above soil.
Is bone meal a good P and ca source to add now. Due for a top dress as well. These are 10g pots. It's been 2 weeks. They were growing really well until the pests came in.

I would use Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP) at a rate of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water, which is roughly 100-200 ppm of MKP in the solution. This will work faster than bone meal. I'm not an organic grower though. The plant doesn't know an organic chemical from a synthesized one. The important part is that your chemicals are clean of harmful chemicals and heavy metals.

Excuse for asking but why K when you think it's P?
"What is the best source of phosphorus for cannabis?
Instead, utilize organic fertilizers like worm castings, blood meal, fish meal, or bat guano for nitrogen; bone meal or rock dust for phosphorus; wood ash or kelp meal for potassium; and dolomite lime for calcium or magnesium."

Water Solubility, ease of access and doesn't contain Nitrogen where most nicely water soluble forms of Phosphorus contain Nitrogen. I also like to believe boosting both potassium and phosphorus is advantageous.

I saw a few more moving around. About to do a soil drench and foliar application with captain jacks.
I found lcpt locally. Applying that tomorrow
