just switched to 12/12, and noticed my girls got the mites. If I spray them with pyrethtum with the lights on, will the leaves burn?? You know like how your not supposed to water your flowers in the middle of the day?

why not just wait til the lights are off? are you wanting to take action now? kill as many by hand! i have only used azomax so i don't know, but wetting the leaves down with chemicals while the lights are on sounds like a terrible idea. how many watts are hanging above the mamas?

lights are off now, i just didn't want to mess with the light cycle. got a dimmable ballast 600/750/1000/ super lumen. i tryed the azamax but it didn't seem to help with the spider mites.

Really!?! Wow, well good luck with those little bastards. I've never had the displeasure of having them, but i always thought it would be cool to put some lady bugs in there and watch them feast.

azamax always works for me :( god damn mites are becoming immune to everything! Don't spray with lights on or you will burn your plants - I personally just made this mistake.

From another thread ===> https://www.rollitup.org/bugs/433626-new-stuff-kills-spider-mites.html#post5757324

, I heard that Mighty Wash is excellent against spider mites. I also did some secondary checking and people seem to think it works well. You may wish to get a green flash/work light so you can do stuff during the "dark" period in your grow room. Plant's can't "see" green light.
true, but it needs to be a true green light spectrum, not just a painted lens over a white light.

I'm in California and I get them all the fucking time. They are just everywhere in the outdoors and I'm too lazy to change my clothes and shower every time I go between my outdoor garden and indoor garden.
