I'd hold on and treat another time, when I can get into my flower room (12:00est) I have some
stuff in there that is supposed to be excellent I'll let you know.
Keep the faith.

:peace:

Now I'm wondering how I've never had issues. Maybe the climate up here? I've taken in quite a lot of plants and given away even more. Sucks you picked em up at the last clone swap.

I'm wondering if they came from elsewhere since non of the rest of us have had problems?


Last ones I got new in i quarantined for a week. You hVe me on gaurd for sure. Lol

increase your humidity and spray some lemon juice maybe. Those mite killer bottles that work, their main ingredient is citric acid. Low ph what ever kills them off I guess.

a combo of aloe and silica worked for me and increasing humidity. I haven't had mites for a long time. A few years at least.

if worst comes to worst you can wipe down each individual leaf with neem / castile soap and go back over them with plain water the next day.

If they're pitching tents all over already then toss them

lady bugs will eat the eggs. Then predatory mites will eat the russets.

In veg,clean all veg (5 weeks) & about 4 weeks in flowering room...then it runs out...then one or two sprays of iso mix..

I hate spraying all that stuff...

I think I will give the ISO a shot on flowering plants ( then toss out ..lol)

You need to rotate pesticides. Pyrethrins, then soap, then oil. Hit them twice a week. Twice a week disrupts their reproductive cycle and rotating sprays means they can't build any immunity.
