Mites

I recently found out I had mites in my grow tent. I've sprayed my girls with 3 rounds of Trifecta after totally cleaning my tent with bleach and water. Still I'm noticing more mites.

What can i do, just keep spraying or what?

Dr doom on Amazon works wonders

It took awhile for mine to dissappear. I picked every leaf off that had any kind of damage from mites. Then sprayed. My poor plant in veg looked horrible. But now its a huge beautiful bush thats in 2nd week of flower. This hobby is all about patience and taking care of them

These things stick to your clothes and travel with you. Only takes one to create millions. I have a garden outside of veggies. I think I got them that way. Always changed clothes before entering your vrow space.

I think I got them from not cleaning my tent after a harvest. Bad move...now its costing me.

I’ve battled mites on my first big grow and 2 runs following. People say once you get them , they will always come back. I’m now in week 5 of flower in the same space I always get mites but they are not present this grow. But trust me you may think they are gone for a week or 2/3 but unless you keep on top of it they will be back. At least once a week pick a fan leaf or 2 from middle toward the bottom and keep checking. Don’t get lazy. If you stay on top of them you can get threw to your harvest. Don’t wait till you get them. Prevention is key. Spray in veg every week to try to prevent them. Once flower only spray if you notice. These a couple good products to use. Same for Powdery mildew. Always water at least 4-5 hours befor lights out.

Option 1. Green clean or mighty wash, follow the instructions, treat & trash bag the plants for 12 hours while you clean the room & done.

Option 2. 50 gallon tote, dunk all your plants in a neem/water or iso mixture, hold underwater for 3 minutes, bag the pot so you don't drop soil everywhere and pray the lactic acid doesn't kill you lol.

Option 3. Gas the entire plant in a trash bag of dry ice.

Honestly, mites aren't that hard to get rid of, a huge grow op would be a different story but a 12 x 12 room is easy.
