Allan dun has a talk show inviting many of the of the old guys that started off things like people growing under HID, many of the people responsible for well-known strains and other experts...
I'm about an hour in, and this one covers a lot about light and building organic soil, and also tweaking soil to reproduce the results people get from salts.

I'd go get some predatory mites and put them in your space as a preventative. Start a strong IPM regimen.

I sprayed with Pyganic today as my first round of preventative. Our yard seems to be infested with small hoppers but they don't mess with my plants. I noticed a handful of ladybugs so I avoided them other than being nosey as to what they were eating.

I got 2-spotted mites last year as it gets super hot and dry here. I kept them knocked back with orchard strength sulfur and pyrethrins. 105 tomorrow so I'm beginning to look closer now.

I used an organic pesticide that is mostly garlic oil and things like that with a bit of pyrethrin in and also mixed in Beauveria bassiana fungus spores into the spray solution. It worked really well... I flipped yesterday and can no longer see any mite activity or bites.

Remember even things that are mostly good, can turn bad when they run out of food. Even earthworms will start eating roots...

That's my goal I've never done ipm at all 3 years and never had an issue well I do I now! Lol so that's been my main concern on learning the last few weeks! Unfortunately I'm really broke with a lot of bills and just can't afford the predictor motes right now but I will them in a few weeks hoefully my azamax will keep them at bay for the time being!

one has to learn what the plant does on it's own first... plant a seed out in a yard and watch it grow... Do another in a pot with topsoil you collected outside.... then maybe try coco or other hydro... then return to soil with the needed knowledge. my first few years of growing cost me 0c.

I used instant mite killer on my indoor plants a couple of days ago because I had thrips + spider mites.
Also changed the sticky yellow indicator cards and there's zero bug activity. I'll hit them again tomorrow with a weaker solution and should be good to go for 12/12.

Gota tell ya my friend, this is the best thread I have come across in a long time.
Oh i'em new here and just happened to find your thread and I copied the hole thread.
I have changed the way I grow this past year. I use no NUTRIENTS at all. Completely organic.
I make my own soil and I have some info, I would like to share with you all some info on new ways to grow in soil if that's good with you.

Try this on on your spider mites.

Tabacco Juice recipe

Take 3 strong ciggeretes soak them over night in water and the
hottest hot sauce you can find.
Boil it for 2 to 3 miniutes, let it cool off the strain using
ladies nylon socks and spray the plants 3 to 4 times a week.
You can add safer soap if you like to the mixture.
(make absolutly sure you use gloves/face protection while
handling and spraying)

Oh, I'm familiar with that trick.

I'm not saying it doesn't work, because it does....
There's a lot of fear regarding such recipes and TMV in my but I've literally never seen a case of TMV in person.

In my bug experiments thread, I top dressed with some cig tobacco to test, didn't seem to spread TMV, but I tossed the clone just in case.

I've done the juice spray (not this season), I found it not so effective on russets. But my sulfur worked great on them....
