Well I come home to my pride and joy to find webs on them. I freaked out, they spreaded to all 5 of them! Currently trying the habenaro spray method, hopefully it works and I got them in time! Has anyone tried it and have good results??? Here's a pick, 5 weeks in :(

those look way infested btw, I've dealt with the fuckers indoors so I would imagine outdoors is a nightmare. good luck.

Well I didn't want to use chemicals, and this is the.only way I found where I can get it sprayed tonight. Hopefully it works, this was the worst one. And also this is indoors I just moved it.for the.pic

good luck with that, lady bugs meal of choice isn't spider mites. most people that go that route the lady bugs end up dead and the spider mites live on, don't waste any time, get mighty wash and use it.

yeah, I know a few people that have used that pepper stuff but mighty wash will do a much better job, kills eggs too.

maybe rinse the pepper spray off as much as possible and let them dry out before the mighty wash. I dunno that it would matter or not but mighty wash isn't cheap and I'd hate to see you waste it by some odd reaction between it and the pepper spray.

not a clue here, if you have an air intake from outdoors that's a good way in for them. I think most people blame it on clones they bring in from an outside source but I don't know. they def find a way in.

Ya I don't have a.intake from outside just exhaust. But I keep my screened window open for fresh air all the time. Usually corn will get them so that's most likley where they came from.

keep mighty wash on hand, it's a ongoing thing , I spray once every two weeks or so and don't bother looking for them. I also use an airless paint sprayer which does a job. sometimes it's not really what you're spraying but how completely you spray. I've tried a lot of different stuff and mighty wash is my main solution and its a good one. buy it in the 5 gallon jug and it's much cheaper than by the gallon.

I have to say something about the Mighty Wash. I used an entire 1 qt. bottle up (as directed) on 3 plants and that shit would knock them done but they always came back. week after week of spray and every week I was killing the bugs, but the eggs seemingly didn't get dead. I switched to neem oil and 2 applications and they were never to be seen again. That shit kills mites, aphids and I'm sure a lot of other bugs. Also worth noting: my plants are outdoor/greenhouse plants. I only used the Neem in veg, btw. I am not so sure I would use the neem in flower. Your shit may taste like onions and garlic, not to mention there may be some hidden health risk smoking it....:/ anyway,

good luck.
