spary the flowring plants with water every morning to make mechanical control , if ur strain(s) are ok with humidity and have not any rot problems spray them in miday too when they are the most active , add alcohol as soon as u can , i dont thing everyday would be ok for the plants up u should know better , if the plants are small or atleast can fit into ur freedge u can put them for an hor or so and just open 1-2 times to take fresh air , mites are gonna hate u so much !

once ur plants are stiull early on flowering u can dip them in cold water and win a huge battle , dont do it once big time flowering starts , despite the fridge the cold water shocks them way faster

from what i can see they just started setting up shop
so it shouldnt be that hard to get rid of them

they hate cooler temps and mi humidity like 45 percent and up

I havent looked at my grow this morning yet

To save you a lot of hassle and trying a bunch of crap that doesnt work (I know from trying everything any forum, book, or magazine said). Use the No Pest Strip that you can buy at Home Depot for around $10. Look people are going to be telling you how bad it is and all that bull, but believe me a few weeks with one of those and your mite problem (as well as any bug problem) will be gone. Now, look I understand this is a chemical that does it, but the one and only Subcool uses them (that's where i got the idea) and he grows organically. If you don't believe me check out his youtube page under the title "Watering and Feeding part 2" at about the 5 min 30 second point in the video he addresses these strips. Look I've tried everything when I had a mite problem and these things are the only things I actually tried that worked. Wish someone would of just told me this when I had em' and save me a whole lotta cash money. Also make sure to check out his supersoil thread because that recipe is top notch and dude is at the top of his game. Just check out any mag chances are the pic is his. Much love Sub. I follow his techniques and am having the best results ever by a long shot.

keep checking for spider mites everyday, they have a habit of regrouping in a small area and coming back around week 5 or 6. I rotate these 3 at 3-4 days apart Forbid® Miticide 4F, Floramite SC and Abamectin E Pro 0.15 (which is the same as avid) Floramite protects for 4 weeks Forbid protects for 4-6 weeks (so if your plants finish in 8 weeks, using forbid at week 2 might be a little close....but forbid is translaminar and can be sprayed on just the tops of the leaves and kill the ones on the bottom too) Abemectin/avid protects for 4 weeks and also kills aphids, thrips and whiteflies
