Spidermites are my biggest fear. I have heard misting with soapy water (not antibacterial) will get rid of them. I have heard that from different parts of the world too including from experienced growers.tip de jour:
bugs are bad, m'kay... be ahead of them by putting sticky traps in your grow.
if it catches bugs be sure to identify them and act accordingly. a spider mite infestation is probably one of the worst pot cooty infestations because it is a hard problem to get rid of. i have known a few growers over the years who just settled for keeping them in check instead of wiping them out totally... personally, if i ever get them i think i will remove my whole op and start over after bleach scrubbing everything.
an example....sorry to hear it
reminds me of a tip i got taught when i first started growing...
always set up a catch chain for your lights so they cant fall on the plants or worse, on the ground and shatter. this catch chain normally hangs slack because it isnt what holds the lights in their hanging position it is just there in case you become a clumsy stoner.... been many times this habit has made me give a sigh of relief.
gravity sucks.
