I have a really nice setup in my room, I have intake and exhaust out my window and a 5x5 tent, its going good except on hot hot days drawing in air that is 88 on this Friday is going to be another issue, this next weekend is gonna be a hot one and i might turn my 600w to 300 for that day



My bed is literly right next to my tent and I really really dont want any bugs ever, cause I dont want to sleep next to thousands of spidermits and other bugs. I have azamax and didnt use any yet. I just put clones in pot yesterday .

I am willing to pay for more items besides azamax and whatever it takes , I just really dont want pest

Then you need to use the Azamax preventively. I know people who take clones upside down and dunk the whole plant into a container of the stuff. I spray all my veg plants with Azamax about once a week, the stuff works. Prevention is a lot more effective than waiting for them to appear so keep your grow tent tidy and clean. Wipe walls down of your tent with hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol and keep dead leaf matter from laying around.

Azamax works great. I always cut my dosing by a 1/2 to a 1/3. Especially when being preventative.

if you're looking for a preventative then I might suggest sns209, it's a rosemary oil based systemic .

also a silica additive and possibly another sns product like sns203 . all this being preventative, if you already have them use mighty wash/azamax/pyganic(or something similar) in rotation.

Avid will completely remove spider mites however I do not recommend this for anyone who does not have proper ventilation and protective gear. Additionally should not be used in flower as its toxic to humans when inhaled or absorbed thru the skin eyes etc. remains on the plant for 30 days or more be very careful.

when I spray I don't normally use anything toxic to humans so I spray the entire room ( I use an airless paint sprayer) . csu is right , there are some toxic systemics available(forbid probably being the most toxic) that I hear will certainly do the trick. I found decent results with the sns209 and it also prevents other insects (such as in the rootzone) and it's nothing more than rosemary oil in a form the plant will uptake it from the roots, makes the plant taste like shit to the insect and it leaves. the use is discontinued a couple weeks before harvest to flush the rosemary oil from the plant.

i would just keep an eye on the plants to look for signs of mites. lowering your temps is more important. run lights 18/6 during the coolest times of day
