Spidermites

[drblueball]

i got spidermite, i am treating with plant vitality plus, my question is how often do i spray the plants with pvp, done it for the first time on saturday, when shud i spray them again??

spray every 3 days as the life cycle of the mites are 3 days, are you vegging? try some neem oil with dish and water if you want to keep it organic if not Doktor Doom works very well.

i just got a blueberry clone that had a few mites on it. Is used Dynagro Neem oil with a dash of protek. I sprayed it heavily a few times a day for a few days, i have been inspecting it with a scope and magnifying glass, cant find any on it now.

You have to be careful when you pick up your clones... the eggs hatch every 3 days if your vegging try to keep humidity up another alternative is buying some lady bugs.

if you dont have a lot of plants then it would be best to do individual treatment.

get 2 sponges,some water in a bucket or bowl..put maby 1 drop of dish soap.but dont put anymore.

now with the soaked sponges rub off them eggs and mights on both sides of the leaves,
then after you have done this to each leaf,spray the plant down with your solution.

worked great for me

I would spray close to when the lights go off rather than when they are coming on. You want them to not have all that water on the leaf when the lights come back on.

also, just as another thing to consider, i just started using mighty wash to treat for bugs and i could not be happier! The stuff is amazing and its 98% water (yup.. no BS)!!! Its called "frequency water" and i sprayed it twice 4 days apart and have not seen a might since!! Previous to that i tried EVERYTHING and they always seems to come back at some point. So far, its been 4 weeks since i sprayed and there isnt a mite in site!
