I went to grow store yesterday thinking I had PM After talking with the guy down there and showing him pics he said I had spider mites(kinda new and have not dealt with either), The guy said he'd been growing for 12 years and does things fully organic. He was telling me when I was buying E20 that I should use something with bugs that eat the mold and its biology and I was down sounded great anyway.. long story short this guy went from going all Mr. Organic to say you gotta nuke 'em you need Floramite so I bought it (haven't used it yet hence this post) my plants(12) are 2 1/2 tall and still in veg stage and don't plan on turning light for least 2-3 more weeks only 2 of the plans showed signs of the white little dots. When I did get home I noticed under the leaf a few (nothing crazy IMO but never dealt with this) Here's my question a friend of mine outta state told me I should use Azatrol (which is organic) and now im confussed as to what I should do? Spend $30 on a respirator and do a dunk (I think doing dip would be easier and it would get all the nooks and crannies) with floramite or spend $25 and go get some Azatrol (no mask needed)........... Any thoughts guys? Thank you in advance

Man getting rid of them is next to impossible. I tried everything when I had them nothing killed them just controlled them some what. I had to clone and trash my plants but I got rid of a hell of a lot with pepper and garlic and cinnamon and dish soap mix and sprayed and keep a fan on them . GOOD LUCK!

Snaps has the plan. I never had much luck with organics. Make sure you clean up grow room well. Any other house plants, they need sprayed too?

I use avid as I've burn myself out on the organic route. Basically do one treatment early veg, and I haven't seen those bastards ever since. Granted I did have broad mites which are a little bit different but nonetheless absolute bastards.

Just remember to follow the instructions carefully. Haven't used floromite, but if it's what I recall, be safe is all. By the time you harvest, the chemical had broken down.
