Spider mite help please 2 weeks into flowering
Hi everyone I am after some help on my second grow

I am using a secret garden grow tent with two ice widow clones in soil. They are approximate 3 weeks into flowering and I have been infested with spider mites

I got some pure neem oil today and I just wanted to check I am ok to spray my babies with a solution with them being in the flowering stage

It's quite a bad infestation and it's something I would like to sort out

Hope you can advise

Cheers
K

Two remedies I have used at this stage.
1 Floramite - 20 day residual effect - If you have more than 3 weeks before harvest - mites deader than hell. Very potent but expensive $20. Found on the net (floramite.com) or some grow stores.
2 Insecticidal soap - can be used right up to harvest - used on various fruits and vegs - kills mites - inexpensive - about $5 for concentrate - lasts a long time. Used to be able to buy at Home Depot but they do not stock it here anymore. http://www.bayeradvanced.com/insects-pests/products/natria-insecticidal-soap
About the neem oil - with so long to harvest, it should not affect the taste of the finished product, but watch out for late term use.
Hope this helps

Also If you can, drop the temperatures. It will slow there reproduction rate. Good luck man, I hate mites

You Should Be Fine With Neem At This stage but if you are really worried go out and get some ladybugs, they work like a charmm:)
and next time jsut spray your plants in vegg with neem every now n then, and you wont ever have this problem again

Lady bugs work, but they fly into the light and die. Suck up the bastards with a vacuume. Works great!
