I had a mite problem about 2 yrs ago. Azamax starves them. I swear by that shit. Once a week, 2 or three times abd they are EXTINCT! Then keep the cats and dogs out so they dont come back

i know i could yield more brawndawg but somehow this last attack from the mites caught me off guard when i was doing an SOg wih clones i was pulling like 3oz every 2 weeks.

i dont have the cash to go the mighty wash route, its just that simple i tried the stuff its awesome on adult mites but it definitely does not kill eggs which seem to be my biggest issue, im gonna buy some avid or floramite im done fucking with mites i have some marigolds and chrysanthemums growing and im gonna jusut keep growing those and start making some strong fresh(this is the key to pyrethrins)pesticide with them first and if this doesnt work then ill get the avid or flora mite doesnt work im gonna find a virus to kill all spider mites.
i swear if i g beat by then, i will sell all my grow equipment and engineer a virus to kill spider mites and make them infertile.

Dude my cousin and i both had lots of them. Im telling you. I still have lots of my $20 bottle of azadirachtin left. Why? Because it worked the first time. But yea whats up with your lights? They look a little lanky

When they eat a treated plant they "dry out" which means getting sick diarrhea, vomiting etc.the eggs hatch and also eat from the plant. Mites solved. Sounds too good to b true? Idk y ppl arent raving over it. I spent so much b4 i found it

i plan on buying some of that too. im just tight righ now....
well they are lanky cuz i sucked this time around nothing else to say i guess. im doing the best with what i got and mites have fucked me royally again again, thee where mother so they had a lot of clones cut off them so that might play into why they are so lanky but really i just think they are trying to outgrow the mites.
im about to go to the hydro store and pick up a bottle of that stuff if they have it... all i can say is this will be the last thing i buy if this doesnt work im gonna fucking trip. i have pretty much been spraying daily too.

azamax? I've used azamax and not killed every mite since they do end up back after time.I've read where people have used azamax with shit results too. Can't say first hand really but I did buy a couple bottles of azamax but don't remember foliar spraying it The most affective has been mighty wash, safest too.

yeah i decided against that too was thinking i use neem oil in a fucking high concentration cant be a difference, i with i could afford mighty wash but it takes a half gal in the comp. sprayer to cover everything sufficiently. im about to just fucking give up(well temporarily like i said) im just getting pisssed sitting here thinking about it. fucking Avid or floramite i smy next option but that fucking shit cost so much.... i dont know what to do. just fucking restart im about to try a rubbing alchohol spray again, been a while since i did that, damages the plants but kills the eggs and mites i think i might have a go at that before its all done...
but these mites pretty much have me at the point i dont even want to grow this is fucking shitty.
anyways im about to just try and finish this grow set up the new tents at the end of the month and fucking sterile everything im gonna buy gallons of rubbing alcohol and acetone and im cleaning everything to death.

The reason they come back isnt magical. Eggs hatch after ten days. Yours are probably riding in on your pant leg, or a friends, or your pets. Even if they stay out of ur grow, they end up on couches and stuff

Keep your floros 3" away and they wont stretch. Unless its not an option cause money but as far as productivity and profit, more plant matter in less space = bueno

A tip with mites. My cousins infestation was real bad and he discovered they can power thru mites if they go outdoors

lol ive been spraying weekly(now daily) for months since i started this grow, im not a newbie who doesnt know his shit about mites i take a shower and put on fresh cloths about 70% of the timer before going down there, and he area was bleached and cleaned originally and there is no where for the mites to hide in the grow area ive lost a big crop to mites before and umm i know how to handle one cycle, but they are fucking me up in my perpetual setup right now!
im not flowering with flouros im using hps MH and MV in flower. i like the stretch in veg or a least i dont mind.
wish i could take my plants out side for a few days that would make things much easier.
anyways man thanks for the advice/encouragement but it not anything i havent heard before its just i got the super mites, resistant as fuck probably have to scrap this grow and clean like a motherfucker. and start fresh, but i will probably keep some stuff from this grow going but they are gonna get the hand wash treatment.

Poly- try diatomaceous earth It is fine white powder that is like microscopic shards of glass to insects of all kinds, including spider mites, ants, roaches, bed bugs...
Also dust the entire grow tent area
Of course getting under the leaves is a hassle, so you need a bellows type device to create the dust. Alas the one I have is uncontrolled, so I often get way too much coming out. No worries, it is totally non-toxic and actually good for soil.
Suggested to Cheap Hydroponics that he experiment with a pump sprayer. That would be great
DO not lightly spray wet the plant once done as it will make the DE hard to get off. Shake the plant after 4-24 hours to get most of the de off, then HEAVILY spray with water, or lightly soapy water, to remove the rest

The mite thing was referring to azamax. If you use it they will die. Period
and internodes are nothing but stem and distance between the light and the lower branches. Plants grow taller when they think theyre in the shade, in bright light theyll grow 1-2" a day focusing on leaves instead of sticks. I know experienced growers who think 6" a day is better but my 2 footers make more bud in less space.
My buddy grew a 6' blue dream (heavy yielder) and i got more from a 2' og (punk ass yields) to each his own i just tell ppl my method. Its1 of many

i agree absoluly but in SOG if you dont let them stretch the whole time and you try to bush from the start youll get a mess if misshapen sized colas towering over one another. creating shadows, i followed that route first run with this setup.
