Would be cheaper to just buy some rolling tobacco. I've used it as a soil drench to kill fungus gnats and plan on washing my outdoor soil with it before I reuse it just in case.

I like an aerosol pyrethrin spray. Most have Technical PBO added but some don't. Pyrethrin is made from the chrysanthemum plant. The technical pbo is a synergist and is possibly carcinogenic. Walmart carries a Raid Max brand up here in Canada.
I trim off lower fans that are hard to spray under and some of the worst foliage.
I get great results with 2 sprays a week to 10 days apart.

Just be careful with it outside. It is supposed to be harmful to bees. Not that bees like female cannabis but if it gets on nearby plants that bees like it can kill them too.
Also yeah it would be cheaper with rolling tobacco. We just used super cheap cigarettes though. I used it at least three different times for a buddies grows. Thankfully I have only needed it once when I was given a few clones, in the middle of winter, that came with mites.
I’m using coco in 16l fabric pots mate

My suggestion is wand type feather duster, in the morning, to collect webs and mites. Sterilize it immediately or seal in plastic and dispose of. Spray really well with as much water pressure as you see tolerated. Light dusting of diatomaceous earth on soil surface. Organic, safe, cheap and effective.
Lemon trees in Mi are prone to them here. No big deal.

A google shows this predatory mite as an alternative spidermite control. Phytoseiulus persimilis.

No damned ladybugs for spider mites. Buy predator mites. Ladybugs eat aphids and that’s about it.
hi mate, I have discovered some webbing and mites and have 20 days left. Could this solution still be used?
Do you know of any website supplying these in the uk?

You can wash the buds right after you chop. Dip them in a bucket of water and then dry/cure. Might get rid of some of the mites.

I'll go first:
"Ladybugs love to munch on spider mites, so much so that they know how to track them down. They are attracted to the smell of these creatures, as well as to the leaf damage typical of a spider mite infestation."

“In outdoor gardens, however, ladybugs tend to fly away to their preferred food source so getting them to establish on the plants can be a little tricky. A sugar water solution can be sprayed on the ladybugs to “stick” their wings together for a few days.”You're on! Let's do link wars.

Post away, Jacko. I’ve used both. Turn predator mites loose. Period. No Pepsi shower to keep their fucking wings down.
